  Love this Car - 2005 Lexus SC 430
  By Jonnyjmp - May 17 - 2:13 am

  I have to say this has been the best car I have ever owned. The only problem is people want to talk to tell you how nice the car looks when you have the top down and are stopped at a light.

  Very fun car - 2005 Lexus SC 430
  By brianfuchs - March 17 - 3:56 pm

  Have had my SC430 for three days now. The wife and I love the power, and the comfort. We DID manage to stuff our three year olds in the back seats for a few trips around the block. They loved it, but Im cure child- cruelty laws were being broken... Remember, the rear seats are for insurance-lowering purposes only.

  Bankers Hotrod - 2005 Lexus SC 430
  By DarthOboe - September 3 - 10:00 am

  Purchased in July of 2001 - much nicer attention to detail and esp. luxury than the very stiff and austere SL I owned. Truly 2 cars in one - with top up quieter than the Caddy STS I owned and a fun top down convertable. True and solid famed Lexus quality at a great price for this type car. Im keeping mine!

  Best convertable? - 2005 Lexus SC 430
  By peter john - June 4 - 1:36 pm

  I used to have a Mazda Miata back in 1990 and belonged to the Miata Club of America. Then went to a Mercedes 190 evo. loved the car but the fun factor was not there. Now this Lexus is a dream come true! Power, style, and reliability! Wow! By far the best car in the world for me. I love to just hop in and drive with no destination in mind. Looking to go from Toronto to Vancouver next summer. What other car would be as awesome?

  Luxury Sports Vehicle - 2005 Lexus SC 430
  By Denise Frias - April 1 - 3:50 am

  I purchased the crystalized white metallic with ecru interior. I have compliments on my vehicle daily. Driving this car is like having the luxury of a sedan with the ride of a high end performance vehicle. The hard top convertible and style is what sets it apart from other cars in its class. It comes with Navigation and other options are standard with this vehicle. The competitors in the same class list prices that are much higher and only come with a basic package. I strongly recommend this car to anyone in the market for a high end sports car who appreciate more car for their dollar.

  This is the best vehicle we have ever owned,married 37 years and we have owned quite a few! Living in Las Vegas provides the enjoyment of maximum use of a convertible that turns heads with unbelievable performance and Luxury. We are approaching retirement and this is a keeper along with our RX 330. Couldnt be more satisfied with this beautiful automobile.

  More or Lexus! Awesome! - 2005 Lexus SC 430
  By MJK - December 23 - 5:16 am

  The SC 430 drives MUCH quieter than any other sports car I tested on the road, yet it is still fun to drive. It surprised me how comfortable this car was; I didnt expect it at all! I like a car to envelop me, and this one certainly fits the bill. The sound system is phenomenal, the navigation system easy to use. The hard-top convertible opens and closes with a simple push of a button! Nothing to latch or forget about unlatching, etc. Rear seats might as well be non- existent; I suppose they are there for insurance purposes. Not a big deal if you are the only one driving this car. Its great for two people, and maybe someone you hate in the back :)

  Total Class - 2005 Lexus SC 430
  By eric - July 16 - 8:03 am

  This is simply the best car I have ever had. It rides beautifully, the levinson stereo is amazing, the new wheels are much improved, and retracting the roof is quick, simple push of a button. The interior is absolutely gorgeous.
