Pros: This event may rupture many-o-duodenum.
Cons: These may be the last words I'm allowed to publish.
The Bottom Line: This car is so sexy, you can't help but talk dirty.

Pros: Ummm...let me think a bit longer..
Cons: Ugly, ugly, ugly. Oh! Did I mention "ugly"?
The Bottom Line: I abhor the Lexus SC 430. It's the ugliest car on the road, bar none. It rides worse than a child's toy and it has no practical value.
Why is a moped like a fat girl? Give up? They're both kinda fun to ride until one of your friends sees you.
Do you like that joke?
Oh. Bad taste.
Yeah, I guess you're right.
Maybe I should change "moped" to...

Pros: Beautiful in every way
Cons: It's not mine. Oh you mean about the car. Really stiff suspension.
The Bottom Line: Phenomenal automobile and definitely worth considering if you're in the market for an eye-catching automatic hardtop convertible.
I love this car. Ever since my father purchased it late last year I jump at every chance I can get to take this beauty on the road. With its wide, squat chassis and road-gripping 18" wheels, this beast evokes in my mind an image of a shark effortlessly...

Pros: Good value, decently fast, smooth, quiet. Nice hardtop, great stereo & DVD.
Cons: Pulls on uneven pavement, rollbar could be improved. Not as fast as engine will allow.
The Bottom Line: It is hard to beat for the money. It does just about everything very well.
Overview I had previously owned a 1995 Mercedes SL320 and got the 2002 SC430 in December 2001. Since then of course, Mercedes has upped the ante (and price) with their new SL, and Cadillac has come out with the XLR. For value for money, there is ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Comfortably the best all-round of a good lot.
Cons: Dodgy brand name, compared with the competition. Not quite perfect yet.
The Bottom Line: Car 9/10, Service 11/10 -- Average: 10/10. Get one.
There seem to be several reviews of the SC on here, but none that would be useful if you were really ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: No Road Noise, Navigational System, Awesome Design, Sound System
Cons: Almost non-existent back seat
The Bottom Line: It is the best convertible, if not the best car on today's market.
Spending more time in California, I felt that I really needed to take the plunge to buy a convertible to totally appreciate the wonderful California sun. I began my search looking at BMW, Mercedes, and even a Corvette. All of them seemed to be missing...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Fast, Quiet, Fun, Luxury, two cars in one!
Cons: No trunk space or back seat room
The Bottom Line: The SC430 is really two cars: a quiet refined sedan with top up, and a head turning road rocket with top down. A must buy if you can afford it.
I first saw the Lexus SC 430 at a local dealer. I was intrigued by its body style, it looked like no other car out there. I was blown away when I asked to take it for a test drive and then found out that it was also a hard top convertible! I had no idea....

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Beautifully done interior. Excellent navigation system. Retractable hard top beats a soft top any day.
Cons: Low profile run flat tires transmit to much road noise and vibration at times.
The Bottom Line: An excellent, beautifully executed car for the money.
I purchased this car in May of 2002, and have enjoyed it ever since. My car is Egyptian sand pearl (gold) with ecru (cream) leather and blond bird's eye maple wood trim. Many people have given me a thumbs up or have shouted out compliments when I drive ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Better Than Mercedes. Wonderful engineering. Attention to Detail
Cons: Tires wear out fast due to low profile.-- and they are expensive.
The Bottom Line: If you have the money and want a luxury sports car, this is the car for you. Almost better than sex.
The SC 430 is undoubtedly the finest car that I have ever owned. If you want something with a big tr ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Slick; Sexy; Fast; Head turner;
Cons: Some internal rattle.
The Bottom Line: Very nice machine.
Had this toy for 2 months now. Makes my commute a joy ride everytime. It's a very smooth ride, but you can still feel the enough of the road for the "speed racer" in you. Only draw back is that people speed up to get a better gleams of the car, but...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Handling, Power, Comfort.
Cons: Not as fast as it COULD be. A little heavy.
The Bottom Line: If you had the choice of the BMW Z3 or Z4 or the Benz 230 Kompressor, no contest....Lexus SC430 hands down.
Ok, this is by far the best Lexus has to offer in my book.
This car handles excellent and has excellent pick up. The seats are by far the most comfortable seat I have ever sat in. While you turn corners it hugs you like a glove. The steering wheel...

Pros: sexy
Cons: price
The Bottom Line: It's a buy if you have the buying power
I went to the local Lexus dealer with the intention of purchasing the new GX. I happened to go along with my new bride and one of her friends. After a fairly boring test drive of the GX, we walked back in the showroom and I began to talk price...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: No
Pros: High Quality, Mark Levinson Audio
Cons: Very Ugly to look at, rims are horrendous
The Bottom Line: High quality car with very bland styling. I would wait for the new 2003 SL 500.
Lexus is synonymous with high quality reliable vehicles. But style has never been one of Lexuses priorities. Copying is a defiante priority. Let me put it to you this way the new '02 SC430 looks like a last minute after thought. The car is engineered to...

My next car will be another Lexus SC 430
by gojoblow
Jan 03 '08
Author's Product Rating:
Recommended: Yes
Pros: Fast, comfortable and reliable.
Cons: Small trunk
The Bottom Line: It is reliable, comfortable and the best value for that class of sports car.
I bought the black SC430 with black leather about 2 months ago. My favorite features:
Performance: It's fast (~300hp), takes tight corners real well, very quiet and it is one the most reliable cars on the road (based on everything I've read and my personal experience with Toyota & Lexus).
Comfort: It's quiet, smooth, very roomy (front seats only, the back seats are for show.) Great leather seats/plush interior, stereo controls on the steering wheel, good heated seats, dual climate control. The hardtop goes down on the push of a button, the mirrors adjust themselves when you are backing in/out of a parking spot, killer GPS, awesome stereo with 6-disk CD changer, power everything.
Miscellaneous Cool Stuff: The rear-view mirror automatically dims based on the amount of light present; that's right Mr. Im-gonna-flash-my-brights-on-you-cause-you-cut-me-off!. There's a button on the center console that opens a secret change container.
Cons: Don't let the luxury car interior fool you, it will remind you its a sports car when you hit that bump. I get about 16mph and it takes premium and I live in Chicago and, well, you understand.
