Super vehicle. Amazingly quiet even with top down. Acceleration and braking are great, as billed in the literature. A real lux sport coupe on winding roads. A fantastic ride.

My recent frustration with an X5 and a 745 sent me on a mission to check out Lexus. Every experience I had had with 5 other Lexus cars was great so I went looking for an suv and an LS 430. Well when I saw this matador red, chrome wheeled beauty I was smitten. This is a great car that no one seems to pay any mind to. Beautiful styling, great comfort, world class fit and finish, quiet ride top up and top down and Lexus reliability make this car bulletproof. The only flaw is the seat belt access but why quibble. This car has it all and a great value in the market place. I have never enjoyed a car like this one. This is one sweet ride.

The Car gets Compliments

I love to take care of my cars so waxing is a regular calendar event. Part of the reward for maintaining a cars appearance is the self satisfaction and of course the parking lot adulation from passers by. At 13 years old with the original paint, this car still gets lots of adulation. The best part is the lines of the car not only bring attention they are a breeze to wash and wax.

The 2006 is my second SC430. I traded my 2003 for the newer model. I have owned many proformance cars including Porches, BMW's, Mercedes,Ferrari and Corvettes. It is not the quickest or the fastest, but is definately the most comfortable to drive, especially on long trips. I enjoy owning this car.

I'm on my second Sc430 but this time I have the all elusive2006 pebble beach Mica tiger eye. This car is awesome in every way. A small car with a big car drive. This vehicle is totally obedient to ever command, from cruise to go get him!! There was only 500 of these car produced so everyone that sees it gawk in awe. Compliment after compliment. Even the new Lexus must look up to it's big brother. The stereo is just incredibly clear and loud if you like loud. Even though I don't have all the new gadgets, especially the blindspot monitor. I went out and purchased blindspot mirrors and that did the trick. This vehicle will never leave my ownership
