  wow! - 2003 Lexus SC 430
  By stevel - July 4 - 10:00 am

  Quite simply, its the best car I have ever owned---and that ranges from a Miata to an E-class. Luxury, reliability, performance. For those of us that dont go on that curvy roadside road but are suburbanites with varied driving habits, its the perfect 2 seater. Needs a better trip computer, and the run flat tires are so-so for the winter, but wow, whata car!

  SENIOR MOMENTS - 2003 Lexus SC 430
  By KORT - June 28 - 10:00 am

  I took my Lexus SUV into the service department for its 3000 mile checkup and while it was being serviced I strolled around the showroom and also the car lot. That is when it happened. I fell in LOVE. It was sitting there in the sunlight with the top down gold and beige interior and gold body. I felt it was calling my name. I took it for a short drive and knew I had to have it. My husband drove the SUV home and I, at 69 years old drove home the most magnificent auto I have ever owned, an SC430. I am having the most fun in my senior years with my wonderful car.

  This is my second SC. Replaced a MB SEC 500 AMG and will continue with the Lexus nameplate because of reliability and quality.

  My dream come true! - 2003 Lexus SC 430
  By MASalvio - May 17 - 10:00 am

  I love cars, buy one every 2-3 years, and have always wanted a sports car. The Lexus 430 SC is truly the car of my dreams. It handles beautifully (except in the snow), feels comfortable as well as luxurious, and I can put the top down in less than one minute. I tell people Im not buying another car until I cant get in this one any longer. There is nothing bad to say; even the gas mileage is acceptable.

  By vinterv - May 17 - 10:00 am

  Tried all the sports cars and for the tall person-this is the car. A lot of thumbs up on the highway. You wont be incognito. Just fun to drive.

  Very Satisfied! - 2003 Lexus SC 430
  By ssides - April 14 - 2:00 am

  The lexus SC430 is an awesome car. Having had a Corvette C5 prior, I am a bit disappointed with the acceleration but it is a minor annoyance when compared with all the amenities and the hard top convertible is awesome. Oh, and did I say that the dealer experience is incredible!

  My toy SC430 - 2003 Lexus SC 430
  By Scott K - March 29 - 10:00 am

  After owning 4 previous LS, SC, and ES versions of this now legendary mark, I am pleased to finally have a convertible available in the lineup. I believe Lexus hit their mark with a thoroughly delightful power machine. The quality is obviously Lexus and the design is an eye catcher every time it leaves the driveway. My Indigo pearl with custom lexus wheels seems to be the attention getter of the neighborhood. Power is sufficient but not over the top, handling is solid but lacking against the likes of BMW. Far superior in every way over my previous Jaguar!

  Fun in the Sun in So CAL - 2003 Lexus SC 430
  By Victoria - November 1 - 10:00 am

  Picked up the SC 430 Ive wanted ever since its debut in 3/01 and it is everything I wanted and more. Lexus left no stone unturned. It is sleek, sexy, and solid. The cockpit envelops the driver. Is there a world beyond its doors? Handling is tight and sporty; the 300 hp blew away a Boxster off the line. Dont worry about the noise from the run flats, its barely noticeable and a small price to pay.

  Dream Car - 2003 Lexus SC 430
  By Venice Beach Pups - October 9 - 10:00 am

  I am still thrilled to hop in, put the top down and rocket down PCH in this car. The open cabin is quiet enough at 80 mph to speak hands-free without raising my voice and the ride is silky smooth nimble handling PLUS not a bit of a breeze ruffles my hair (air dynamics MIRACLE!). The only complaints I have heard regard cargo space and I find sufficient space with the run-flat tire option (no spare.) The rear seats are a visually stunning way of adding stowage. The SC430 is a dream car with Lexus reliability, Bentley luxury, Aston Martin panache and Porsche speed and handling. I plan to keep it FOREVER!!!

  Dream car - 2003 Lexus SC 430
  By vicki - September 14 - 11:13 pm

  I owned a GS 300 a few yrs. ago and sold it to drive a practical car. I bought a Yukon. Every time I saw a sporty Lexus I longed for another one. I stopped by to check out what Lexus had in the way of sporty and fell absolutely in love with the sexy looks of the SC 430. I knew I was in love! I bought it after only 1 test drive and have loved it every day since.
