Have owned other luxury convertibles (Mercedes). This is my second Lexus purchase. The quality and feel of my SC430 was better than the new Mercedes. Performance is good but probably not great as one might expect for a 300hp vehicle....but it will still pin you back when you call for it. Back seat is there for insurance purposes only. Make no mistake this is a two seater car from a practical standpoint. However, if you understand that going in, you will love this convertible. Handling is firm. The run-flat tires probably make it feel the bumps more than regular tires. When it comes time to replace them, I may go for regular tires vs the run-flats for comfort reasons (UPDATE: I did replace the run-flats recently with regular tires. Smartest thing you can do to improve the ride/noise without compromising any signifcant performance). Noise level is very good vs. other convertibles. Love the one-touch operation of the hard top too....my Mercedes CLK430 required too many steps. The cockpit is laid out very intelligent. Car screams quality. But then, I havent driven a lexus that didnt. Looks great, drives great, and the 2002-2007 SC430 are basically the same car cosmeitcally. Source: eBay Motors Reviews |

After driving the jaguar s type for three years I was ready for a change. The lexus 430 sc is the best looking car on the road in my humble opinion. It has every amenity I wanted. I love the luxury features combined with the sporty look. My eight year old can fit in the back when necessary, the back seats made it more practical for me than going with aPorsche Boxter, which I was also considering. The trunk is also more roomy than the Boxter's. The Jag was actually a smoother ride and I could put regular tires on the lexus, but the run flat tires make me feel secure about not having to wait for roadside service in case of a flat. A few bumps are a small price to pay for all the perfection this car has to offer. Overall, it is really hard to beat. Source: eBay Motors Reviews |
