Cruising in my golden years
This is my second SC. It is the same as my first one—same color, same year. I loved my first one and I love this one. Top-downing is especially fun with my silver hair blowing and my Prada sunglasses hiding my 75-year plus old eyes. Both cars were purchased used from the same dealership. Between the two vehicles was a red Lexus IS 350C, which I never really liked. Too bad the SC has been discontinued 😢.

2003 SC 430 Review
Exhilarating!!! From the moment I took the keys, my life changed. This car looks sexy & handles far better than I expected.

Terrific styling, not seen too often.
SC 430
Visibilty of the nose and rear end drops off when parking. There is a lack of any bumpers on doors to avoid dings. The paint quality on the exterior is not as good as it should be. I am MOST disappointed in the exterior paint. After purchase I had some zinc oxide rub off on the interior arm rests. Lexus was completely at a loss as to what to do. I am sure other people buying a Lexus convertible will also use sunscreen and have a similar problem. It is very quiet and does not beat you up when the top is down.
Overrated
We got this car mostly due to the hardtop convertible feature. The design and comfort are very nice while the performance and drive are lackluster. The car seemed to have been designed for an older driving population who want the look of a convertible in a Lincoln Town Car frame. The technology and nav system is very counter intuitive with the entire system disabled while driving, so you'd have to park the car before using your nav system or Bluetooth phone. Be careful of Lexus dealers lying to you about this feature. All in all, this car is somewhat disappointing but if you're looking to have a convertible look that drives like a sedan, then it's the right car for you.
