The best-convertible hardtop

My Lexus SC430 is as modern now as back in 2007. The cost back then was $67k because it has all the features of new cars today. I wouldn’t have a soft top convertible due to the top fading and getting torn as well as roll over if an accident. My color of Tiger Eye Pearl Mica is beautiful, it sparkles in the sun and people tell me it’s great! The big V-8 is smooth and powerful, it’s a luxury cruiser. I got only 112k miles for a 2007 and keep in maintained on all ways. This will be my last car as I’m 70 but will love every day I have it!

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

Traded in my RX300 with this SC430 new in 2007. Three years & 34,000 miles later, I have not had any problems with this car. Black Sapphire exterior and Camel leather interior turns head anywhere I go. Had to change the tires at the 26000-mile mark. With depreciation and maintenance be ready to have a $1000 a month expense on this car. It's worth every dime!

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.
