  Good stuff - 2005 Lexus SC 430
  By JHLohnes - August 23 - 9:10 am

  The quality of the experience is in the ability to easily hold a normal volume conversation going 65 mph with the top down. Interestingly, women in particular love the design. Having owned the prior SC400, Ive gotten many comments from people I know and many I dont, about how they like the style. 75% have been women. It is a tightly engineered, refined use of power.

  Best Convertible on the Road - 2005 Lexus SC 430
  By Michael B. Johnson - August 8 - 6:03 am

  In the few months that I have owned the SC 430 hardly a day has passed that I have not had someone on the street make a compliment about my car. I purchased the Pebble Beach Edition and I must say that it by far is the BEST looking car on the road. The special edition black is absolutely breath taking. The car handles beautifully on the road as well. I am especially pleased with the hard top conv. I live in a climate that does not allow the top to be down all the time and I enjoy the fact that you do not notice that you are driving a conv. with the top up. The Lexus quality and the dealerships are the highest quality that I have encounter to date. Looking forward to the new SC 430 model.

  Love the car - 2005 Lexus SC 430
  By SCDriver - July 24 - 8:16 pm

  I traded in my 911 for this car. While I miss the responsiveness of the 911, I wont miss the hassles with ownership, repair costs, etc. The SC430 is a pleasure to dive. The build quality is outstanding. I have the top down all the time unless its raining or sunny and over 90 degrees.

  Best car Ive owned! - 2005 Lexus SC 430
  By joe - June 10 - 8:06 pm

  Fun car, superb characteristics top down or up, quick but not lightening fast. Attracts alot of attention from everyone, so you cannot hide in this beauty. Very reliable. Best on a warm sunny day without a doubt. It is a treat to drive, even after 3 years of ownership. The best car I have owned, including LS and GS 400 models, Jags...

  Lexus SC 430 - 2005 Lexus SC 430
  By robert Norris - May 13 - 10:30 pm

  The SC 430 is a very fine design. Construction detail is excellent in every respect. The car is very quiet, smooth, and operates as advertised. It is really fun to drive. The design of the hardtop retraction system is amazingly smooth and quick. When the top is up the car is not noisy like convertibles tend to be.

  Dream Car - 2005 Lexus SC 430
  By John M - May 3 - 11:46 pm

  I have never had so much fun driving a car. It is smooth, comfortable and just a treat to drive. I have had trouble putting the key in the ignition a few times and will bring this to the attention of the dealer. Probably something I am doing wrong, because there is nothing else wrong about this car. I love it. Getting a combined 19.8 miles per gallon, city & Highway

  The best ever - 2005 Lexus SC 430
  By Darren Mclean - February 1 - 3:40 pm

  It is very comfortable to drive. If I was to sell it I would make sure that it is in the best conditions that it could be in. It is so comfortable that you could sleep in as soon as you sit in it. It drives very smoothly. The interior design is very beautiful to my eyes. The exterior design is wonderful to my eyes. It is fun to drive.

  We love the SC430 - 2005 Lexus SC 430
  By Marshall Craig - January 1 - 3:23 pm

  Great driving, beautiful automobile. This car is so much fun, we will keep it for years. Yes, the backseat is too small. Yes the cup holders need improvement. But who cares! This is one great car!

  Love it, Love it, Love it - 2005 Lexus SC 430
  By Liz in Louisiana - December 16 - 5:30 pm

  I was driving on the interstate one day when a SC430 passed me up. I didnt know what kind of car it was but was immediately drawn to the shape - I sped up to get closer and took a really long look. My love affair with my current vehicle was all over from that point on! Within 3 months, I was a proud owner of a crystal gold with saddle leather SC430 and I have never regretted it. Not a day goes by that I dont get at least one compliment on my car, thumbs up signs from people in their cars next to me at red lights or people speeding up to get next to me on the interstate. I find the backseat perfect for my purse and my umbrella and the trunk holds plenty of groceries. Dont wait...
