Awesome luxury in a Sports car

Awesome drive. Comfort and luxury in a sports car! Not a commonly seen vehicle that turns heads. Good gas mileage for its type. Attention to detail is spectacular. Hard-top convertible is unique and works flawlessly.
Looks arent everything

I had recently bought the Lexus SC430 and I truly hate this car. I have the rare pebble beach edition too. The first problem was that my left headlamp fell off while I was driving on the highway. Lexus said that it was due to driver neglegance. Then my power top got stuck halfway closed they did replace it. Then my alternator went bad I've been through six already. Then three days ago my brakes let go coming up my driveway. The car is nice looking yes but its very unrealiable. Then my whole instrument panel stopped working. That cost me $1,100 dollars because it wasn't covered. I also have a Cadillac STS-V and that gets better mpg than the Lexus. Im trading this in for a most likely a Cadillac.

Was very disappointed in this model. Ride was rough. Hard to get in/out. I'm no longer considering this model

purchased a 2008 with 44K miles, one owner and reasonably well maintained. Roof leaked that needed to be repaired. Since then fun car to drive. Really a classic car that turns heads. Love it

Was so pleased that I bought this beautiful car for myself as a present of turning 60. Try a Porsche 911 turbo but just wasn’t me.

I love the look of the car especially with the top down. It has a very solid ride and feel to it. The quality is outstanding. I am also amazed at the gas mileage for an 8 cylinder which is excellent. Over all it was a very good purchase decision.

It is a wonderful ride! After a minor tweak during a maintenance visit, the SC drives like a new vehicle. Leus knows comfort in its vehicles and this automobile is an accurate measurement of its workmanship.

Sports car ? NO. Two seat Luxury Convertible, YES

What exactly is the Lexus SC430 ? Simply put, is it a sports car? No, it is not. It is a Gizmo hardtop Luxury Convertible with two functional seats, a rear seat package shelf and a very small storage area for a trunk. Fun to drive with the V8 engine but, expect poor mileage and large gas bills being that it burns premium gas only to take advantage of that V8 power .

Chips

After only 6k iles I have 11 paint chips on the hood of the vehicle. Lexus claims road hazard. I say every stone or pebble on the highway must be hitting me. Only 1k miles on highway. How is it possible. Chrome around grill vs painted plastic. Two chips there as well! Very disappointed!
