  Shaimayns opinion - 2006 Lexus SC 430
  By shaimayn - November 21 - 8:46 pm

  Ive 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.

  Got it all - 2006 Lexus SC 430
  By Paul - November 5 - 1:46 pm

  For a retired senior, its the perfect car for the second vehicle now that the kids are out of the house. Makes you feel young again. Auto top down mechanism is great and it rides almost like a sedan while having the nimbleness of a roadster.

  The Best in Luxury Convertible cars - 2006 Lexus SC 430
  By Dino - September 10 - 1:10 am

  Don’t compare it with Porsche or MB, they are different animals. If you want to feel the engine, the road and handling of a real sport car go with a Porsche or SL500 or if you have the bucks go with a Ferrari but if you want to have a quasi Sporty convertible car with real luxury, the best reliability in the market, good power (60MPH in 5.8sec.), excellent comfort, outstanding stereo sound, premium amenities and you want to keep the best value in a car the SC430 is the car! Some people, disapprove the back seat, but to me its a good thing, why? Because my insurance is not considering my SC like a Sport Car that normally is 50% more expensive expensive than a regular car because the 4 seats.

  Overrated - 2006 Lexus SC 430
  By chuck - July 20 - 1:26 pm

  We got this car mostly due to the hardtop convertible feature. The design and comfort are very nice while the performance and drive are lackluster. The car seemed to have been designed for an older driving population who want the look of a convertible in a Lincoln Town Car frame. The technology and nav system is very counter intuitive with the entire system disabled while driving, so youd have to park the car before using your nav system or Bluetooth phone. Be careful of Lexus dealers lying to you about this feature. All in all, this car is somewhat disappointing but if youre looking to have a convertible look that drives like a sedan, then its the right car for you.

  Awesome luxury in a Sports car - 2006 Lexus SC 430
  By Myers - May 19 - 9:16 pm

  Awesome drive. Comfort and luxury in a sports car! Not a commonly seen vehicle that turns heads. Good gas mileage for its type. Attention to detail is spectacular. Hard-top convertible is unique and works flawlessly.

  Maui cruiser - 2006 Lexus SC 430
  By chrisinmaui - May 9 - 1:23 pm

  Unbelievable ride, grace and class. Run flat tires are silent even with the top down. I have never owned or driven anything like this. Looked at all other options but there is no equal for the money in elegance ride and overall feel. This car is made for running tropical moonlight nights with the top down. Top up it is not recognizable as a convertable. My only wish is gas mileage was a littee better, getting 19mpg @ 2000 on the odometer.

  Dream Car - 2006 Lexus SC 430
  By Harry55 - May 1 - 6:36 pm

  Super vehicle. Amazingly quiet even with top down. Acceleration and braking are great, as billed in the literature. A real lux sport coupe on winding roads. A fantastic ride.

  Great & its not even summer - 2006 Lexus SC 430
  By Bubba - May 23 - 9:36 am

  I think the GPS is very intuitive and Ive never used one. I activated the bluetooth without the manual and it definitely works when the car in moving. Hearing the other party is much better than my other cars bluetooth hook up. I even like the token back seat that holds my son until hell move to the front. I love the headlights that go around the corner and the seats that fit like a glove. Im not thrilled that it asks for premium fuel but thats not a big deal. I cant wait to drop the top this summer but love the fact that the PA winters are not harming a soft top while waiting for summer to come.

  SC 430 - 2006 Lexus SC 430
  By dkempf - February 2 - 7:40 am

  Visibilty of the nose and rear end drops off when parking. There is a lack of any bumpers on doors to avoid dings. The paint quality on the exterior is not as good as it should be. I am MOST disappointed in the exterior paint. After purchase I had some zinc oxide rub off on the interior arm rests. Lexus was completely at a loss as to what to do. I am sure other people buying a Lexus convertible will also use sunscreen and have a similar problem. It is very quiet and does not beat you up when the top is down.
