  • Lexus `SC430 engine blew up - 2003 Lexus SC 430
    By -

    In about nine inches of water on the road the car stalled and the engine blew. Lexus could not explain it and refused to cover it. Apparantly in any situation where there is water over the lowest point of the bumper it scoops into the engine compartment. This appears to be a serious design defect.

    After testing the BMW & Mercedes, I drove the SC430 and never looked back. Incredible feel to it and the interior luxury is unmatched.

  • Fun Car, Great Value, Interior Rattles - 2003 Lexus SC 430
    By -

    Fun car to drive. You feel special with the top down. Nice power, great sound, convenience of automatic roof is great. Wouldnt want to drive this car on long trips, its a bit cramped. Luxurious feel.

    So far only 500 miles. Best car ever made in the segment. Outstanding quality, superior design, excellent owner support, max driver satisfaction.

  • Love my Lexus - 2003 Lexus SC 430
    By -

    I have owned my SC 430 for over a year now and love it. You mentioned your editors size, well Im 6 ft 4 inches and weigh in over 350 and have plenty of room. I have driven it 2000 miles on some trips and never feel cramped. The only addition I added was a set of custom chrome rims and low profile high speed rated tires and the proformance and handling is outstanding.So overall the style, performance, handling and luxury features are GREAT!!

  • The Pleasure of Its Company - 2003 Lexus SC 430
    By -

    Flawless. Wonderful handling and acceleration coupled with the most elegant in design and execution, both interior and exterior. Unusually quiet with the top down, and strikingly so with top up. This car is a real pleasure to drive and enjoy. This car is significantly superior to my former BMW M3 convertible with far better reliability and dealer support.

  • The Relentless Pursuit of Luxury - 2003 Lexus SC 430
    By -

    Relax, grin like a fool and enjoy a friend, the scenery and your favorite music for a 10 minute or a 10 day drive. Meander, wander, toddle & wave - plenty of people will likely be watching. The sc430 handling will not excite the "pure" sports car enthusiast: BMW & Audi handle better, Corvette launches faster, and so on. The sc430 can be made to go fast and corner hard, but the suspension, steering & seats are not really set up for it: This is a modern day Packard! Yes, this car *is* fast, as an artifact of excellent engineering, but that is not the main point. Luxury is. And BMW/Audi/Corvette &c cant match it.
