  • NEAR PERFECT - 2004 Lexus SC 430
    By -

    THIS CAR IS AS PERFECT AS A CAR CAN EVER HOPE TO BE. MY ONLY COMPLAINT IS THE LOW FRONT END WHICH CAN HANG UP ON BUMPER STOPS IN PARKING LOTS. ALSO THE VINYL AREAS ON THE CAR CAN DETERIORATE WITH ORDINARY CLEANING COMPOUNDS.

    I have had the car for almost two years and it handles well, excellent acceleration and seat comfort. Cup holders are a little flimsy but this is the only downside I see. Best priced car for the money in this class compared with the Mercedes and the Caddy.

  • RATTLE MOBILE - 2004 Lexus SC 430
    By -

    I purchased this car brand new about 1.5 years ago. Ive had lots of annoying problems with it ever since (too many to list). Im lucky to go 2 months before having to bring it back to dealer. The car has more rattles and noises than a 79 corvette. Dealer replaced a roof hinge that was squeaking so loud that the Mark Lev sound system couldnt drown it out! They finally fixed that and the the passenger side started squeaking. The drivers seatback had to be repaired for a clicking noise-- again, once that was fixed the passenger side started acting up. Run flats are terrible! Thank God the car looks so good and the sound system is the best Ive heard otherwise Id junk this mother!

  • Just the best car Ive ever driven... - 2004 Lexus SC 430
    By -

    After many years of self-denial I finally gave in and bought an impractical car. WOW! This car is the most fun and highest quality automobile I could imagine. Sheer perfection.

  • ROUGH RIDE - 2004 Lexus SC 430
    By -

    CAR RIDES VERY ROUGH IN AS LITTLE AS 12000 MILES WITH THE RUN FLAT TIRES. ALSO PRODUCES A DARTING AND JOLTING FELLING FROM VERY SMALL ROAD BUMPS. BEST TO DRIVE A USED ONE WITH ABOUT 10000 MILES ON THE TIRES BEFOR YOU PURCHASE, YOU MAY DECIDE AGINST IT. ALSO THE RUN FLATS ARE ABOUT $500 EACH AND NEED TO BE RELACED AT ABOUT EVERY 20000 MILES IF YOU CAN TAKE THE RIDE THAT LONG.

  • Wow!! A dream to dtive!! - 2004 Lexus SC 430
    By -

    I love this car!! Cant go anywheer and not get noticed. A true joy to drive and great on long road trips. Very nice design and very fast! I would recommend this car to anyone who needs luxury but has to had performance and looks. This car is a 12.5 out of 10. I wasnt even able to test drive it before I bought it, doesnt that tell you something?

  • I love my car! - 2004 Lexus SC 430
    By -

    Ive owned seven cars in the same general price range and this is without a doubt the very best of them all. The car has so many hidden features that I read the owners manual like it was a best selling novel. I absolutly love the car and want to thank the engineers who obviously gave up a few nights at home to get it right in every way possible.

  • My Blue Lex - 2004 Lexus SC 430
    By -

    I waited a long time to buy the car of my dreams, and this car has proven to be beyond my dreams. I get comments all the time about the car. Driving with the top down and my long blonde hair blowing in the wind really gets some stares. Love it.. love it.. love it.
