  • A Boring Convertible - 2003 Lexus SC 430
    By -

    For a performance convertible this has to be the most boring for the dollar. Our Volvo S60R T5 is more fun, and a better value. It pales in comparison to the Z06 for a performance vehicle.

    Great Car! Cant beat the looks and the gizmos. Real power and performance to boot in a well thought out and executed vehicle. Great value compared to more expensive SL 500 (had one earlier on too!)

    after 3 911s an sc400 and an ls400 - this care is the very best. The retractable hard top makes it the best of both worlds. Fit and finish are perfect. Adequate space with top up. The engine is smooth with power plus - handling sweetly.

    I can not thin of a better car for the money. Gorgeous style. Super comfortable. Powerful and fun to drive. Innovative technology and Lexus quality and service make earn it the highest marks. Nothing beats this hard top convertible. Best sound system and Navigation in the industry! Well the Benz SL is appealing it is not worth the $100k+ and the long waiting list. Not to mention MBs lower marks in service and quality

  • The poor mans exotic - 2003 Lexus SC 430

    Despite the recall on the tire valves, and the battery that could never charge, and the broken 6 disc CD changer, this is an awesome car. The closest thing to a lemon that toyota has ever built, but im in love with it.

  • The Best Car I have ever owned - 2003 Lexus SC 430
    By -

  • The Lexus Dream SC430 - 2003 Lexus SC 430
    By -

    This is a LUXURY sports car. Dont be fooled by reviews that think this needs to be a Ferrari in the corners, but it certainly holds its own. There is so much automation in this car, you have to do very little to drive down the road. Everyone I show the car and give rides to is in awe of the fantastic look, feel, ride, and comfort provided. I have the run-flat tires, but only 1000 miles so far with no complaints so far. It is as fun with the top up as it is down. If you need to move 3 or 4 our people a lot, this is not your car. It is good for the occasional short run to lunch with 3.

  • SC430 A GREAT, FUN CAR - 2003 Lexus SC 430
    By -

    Ive owned several sports cars and other fun cars, but none compares to the fun and exhillaration of driving the SC430. The quality of this car is the defining trait---from design of interior and exterior to the engine and transmission. Then there is the aspect of it being a hardtop coupe changing to a convertible in 25 seconds. Give it a try when shopping for porsches, bmws, mercedes, etc!
