    What a driving experience! Smooth, high performance and comfort all in one. Great looking interior and exterior design.

  • Excellent Buy! - 2004 Lexus SC 430

    Love the car. Would consider buying another SC 430 in the future, if they ever come out with a 4-wheel drive version, as told to me by the dealer sales agent.

  • FUN to drive, but some fixes are in need - 2004 Lexus SC 430
    By -

    Fun to Drive. Get all kinds of good looks in this car. The problem is the car has so many little problem that it gets frustrating. 1. The Window does not meet the roof correctly. Should do an MB does and close the window after the door is closed. 2. The run flat tires SUCK. 3. The space between the tire and the rime is bad, My wife has bent the rim runnnig over simple pot holes. 4. The Tan interior does not clean very well. 5. The preformace off the line is not very good. It has to think for a few seconds before it goes. Do get me wrong I like this car alot, but for the price....

  • Fun Luxury Convertible - 2004 Lexus SC 430

    I love the design, comfort and hardtop/convertibility ease. Plenty of power while not a race car.

  • Fun on Wheels - 2004 Lexus SC 430

    I have only had this car a week, but oh what fun! The run flats I think do give this car a ride a bit more impulsive over bumps, but the highway ride is still very quiet and smooth. I bought mine "used" 2K miles but it was essentially new. The tags were on the upholstery. This car does make people do Linda Blairs. The colors and styling are a knock out. Mine is amethyst with the ecru interior and birdseye maple. People just love it.

  • I love my wifes car - 2004 Lexus SC 430

    It has to be the best built car that I have ever driven. Its a blast to drive.

  • Great Car - 2004 Lexus SC 430

    Awesome car to drive! Very close to my SL500 but 1/2 the price.

  • Perfect Balance - 2004 Lexus SC 430
    By -

    Its not the fastest sports car, its not the most plush luxury car, but the balance of sport, luxury, and fun is hard to beat. At a whim (or stop light) you can go from a very solid hardtop coupe to a convertible. You can let the automatic transmission smoothly take you from 0- 60 or you can manually advance the gears to provide that little rush of adrenaline. Within its category it provides maximum flexibility with minimum commitment.

  • WISH I HAD MY CORVETTE - 2004 Lexus SC 430
    By -

    THE SC 430 IS A VERY SUBMISSIVE "SPORTS TOURING" AUTOMOBILE. I TRADED MY CORVETTE AND LEASED THIS CAR FOR MY SIGNIFICANT OTHER WHO IS NO LONGER WITH ME. (LESSON LEARNED) IF YOU WANT TO SPRUCE UP YOUR IMAGE GET THE SC 430. HOWEVER, IF YOU WANT TO "DRIVE" THE NEAREST THING TO A RACE CAR FOR AROUND $50,000, GET A VETTE. YOU WONT REGRET IT. THE NEW CORVETTES (C5 OR LATER) HAVE PERFORMANCE ONLY RIVALED BY CARS OVER $150,000. THE VETTE IS THE BEST SPORTS CAR VALUE AVAILABLE.
