Your only decision will be which color.

This is my first Lexus, and driving the SC 430 goes well beyond my most extreme expectations. It has the silkiest shifting transmission I have ever experienced on a car, and the ride is like floating on air. Ultra-comfortable front seats, and plenty of power help to complement the other features of this car. Test one, and compare it to the other cars in this segment. Your only choice will be which color combination to get.

I've driven many luxury cars, and this by far is my favorite because it is an affordable sports car with a sophisticated, rich look about it. It drives amazing, with absolutely no road noise, which a lot of the other sports cars had. This is my second SC 430, and thus far have had no issues with anything.

This car has always been a dream car for me, never thought i would own one. We purchased two Lexuses at the same time, my SC 430 and my partners GS 450 Hybrid. We chose Lexus again because of design/build quality but also equally because of customer service. The fit and finish of both vehicles is outstanding, and the driving performance is awesome. I wanted a luxury convertible, but my requirement was HARD TOP. That leaves me with either the Lexus or the Mercedes. I chose Lexus.

I love this car it's everything a convertible could be and exactly what I wanted. Large enough to be comfortable, sporty enough to be the talk of the parking lot. Interior detail is lavished with all that is lovely, outside is curvaceous and innovative. The top feature is intriguing to all who witness it, it's truly convertible in every sense of the word. Sporting 20" Chromes with run flat Toyos it drives like a dream, all on-lookers drool. Some convertibles are made for the regular drivers - they needn't be speed demons, corner huggin', fastest off the line to enjoy -for those of you who always wanted a convertible - this car is for you. It's BODACIOUS Fun Drivin' Fun To Own

I have had my 2005 SC430 for about 2 years now. I have really enjoyed this beast! It's finally about spring, and time to take her out of hibernation! Even though this car is closing in on 20 years old, it still surprises me how everything just works, and works well even after all these years! This car can totally change my mood if I'm having a rough day. Just drop the top and go!! It is not a corner carving machine, but also was never intended to be. It is a luxury cruiser that has a hint of sportiness to it. I plan on keeping this thing forever. It's my first Lexus and first convertible, I believe I made the right decision. I also enjoy the fact that you do not see these at every corner, so it feels like you are driving a special car.
