Great looking, great driving, head turning car. Good speed and sports car feel with some luxury extras. Hard top convertible mechanism is seamless and fast and once it's down it's REALLY fun. Not as fast as my '02 Vette, but this I can drive for more than 2 hours without having to get a massage afterwards.

This is the best car I have ever owned. It is far far better than either my Mercedes SL or Cabriolet. It is beautiful and fun to drive.

We have a 2010 hybrid suv. Wife has a 2013 GS. Then there is my beauty my 2005 SC 430. White & embellished with side and rear fin pinstripes it looks great! Perfect- better than a normal back up camera so in my opinion it is the best car with best hard top convertible I am aware of. I would not want, for safety sake, a soft top!. The SC even has a cassette player. I tear up hearing my long deceased singing his sweet songs!

The SC 430 drives MUCH quieter than any other sports car I tested on the road, yet it is still fun to drive. It surprised me how comfortable this car was; I didn't expect it at all! I like a car to 'envelop' me, and this one certainly fits the bill. The sound system is phenomenal, the navigation system easy to use. The hard-top convertible opens and closes with a simple push of a button! Nothing to latch or forget about unlatching, etc. Rear seats might as well be non- existent; I suppose they are there for insurance purposes. Not a big deal if you are the only one driving this car. It's great for two people, and maybe someone you hate in the back :)
