Look Out Competitors! - 2003 Lexus SC 430
By pecos - July 16 - 10:00 amThe best automobile I have ever owned.I have owned a 72 Pontiac GTO,78 Datsun 280Z,86 Saab 900Turbo,88 Porsche 928,97 Toyota Twin Turbo Supra and the car I currently ownn, a Lexus SC430.It is quick,quiet and responsive with the best standard audio system on the market.Priced slightly above a Mercedes SLK and substantially below an SL which comes closer to the SC.Im thrilled with my SC430 and can not see how Lexus can top this automobile.

The best car Ive ever owned - 2003 Lexus SC 430
By lucky boy - June 4 - 10:00 amThis is a great car, tight, reliable, posh, thoughtfully executed. Everything about it suggests quality-- the finish, looks, touch of the controls. I owned the previous model (SC 400) which was also very sexy, but harder to control--road feel, handling, and control of this car are greatly improved. Run flat tires occasionally transmit too much of uneven roads to driver. I look forward to enjoying this car for years to come.

Not a sports car, a cruiser. - 2003 Lexus SC 430
By silver fox - May 28 - 10:00 amThe quality, reliabilty and workmanship on this car is outstanding, the interior is beutiful. The engine is quiet and powerful but it just doesnt like to rev up. It shifts into a higher gear to soon when you are accelerating. The only way to get full acceleration is to shift manually. The run flat tires are so firm that youll know the location of every manhole cover in town. We joke that you can feel it when you cross the white line. It just doesnt drive like a sports car. More for highway driving.

Outstanding - 2003 Lexus SC 430
By D Wofford - February 7 - 4:30 amA fun and reliable vehicle that I have had almost no problems with. When the speakers were damaged by my son, the dealership replaced them at no costs. Lexus service is outstanding.

What was I thinking of........ - 2003 Lexus SC 430
By fpwmerc - December 2 - 2:00 amI am locked into buying an M3 BMW. Two test drives later I am wondering if a 61 year old "car nut", can live with the day to day adventure of a lurchy, non-seamless but sporty SMG transmission and a fairly rough ride on all but the smoothest road surfaces. On the day I was supposed to consumate the purchase, my wife said why dont we drive the Lexus? I was shocked as to how nice it was in every detail. I have had Porsches, MBZs, Zs, BMWs, an Audi, an Alfa. I drive alot and being in a rural area I can enjoy a car. This car is a pleasure. It is comfortable, sporty, quiet and the best sound and navigation system I have ever experienced.

Number One Convertible On The Market - 2003 Lexus SC 430
By Barton Simon - July 2 - 2:00 amI believe this car to be superior to the Mercedes SL500 (Ive owned 3)and BMW convertible (owned 1). Just a fantastic automobile at 2/3rds the price of an SL.

I LOVE THIS CAR - 2003 Lexus SC 430
By Happy in SF - June 15 - 10:00 amThis is the best car on the market in my book. I was initially looking for a small sedan (BMW 530i or Lexus GS model). Instead, ended up going home with this model 2 weeks later. I love it. Its perfect as long as there are only 2 riders. I have my top down whenever possible--this is made easy by the fact that it only takes a button to drop the top.

Super Cool SC430 - 2003 Lexus SC 430
By Nursey - May 19 - 2:00 amGreat car for those who seek impractical, but fun transportation. Top down, superior sound system up, gets lots of attention.

its wonderful to drive an sc430 daily - 2003 Lexus SC 430
By kay - April 26 - 2:00 amThis car is wonderful to drive and gives you much comfort if you are a busy, hardworking person. It is especially lovely to drive with the top down. Nothing has gone wrong at all.

carefree top-down - 2003 Lexus SC 430
By flatfoot - March 21 - 10:00 amPurchased this vehicle after test driving the Jaguar XKR. Not as fast as the Jag, but blew it away in the comfort, value,and ergonomics dept.The peace of mind of the hardtop and the serenity when the top is helped my decision.
