2002 Lexus SC 430 consumer reviews

I've used this car - day in and day out - in my business driving all over Southern California (enduring the freeways) and it hasn't let me down once. And on weekends - there is nothing like driving down PCH with my beautiful wife by my side and the roof down on the car!

A lot of car for the money. Honest owner advised me of what I was buying. I took it to the dealer, confirmed the current issues and had them bring the car to great condition. Now it is a car I can depend on.

This is my 2nd Lexus SC430. What a car Lexus put together! Styling, engineering, comfort, engine, trans., driving thrills, hardtop convertible - reliability - these cars have it all in a single package! If you can own one of these, do so! It puts the fun back into driving! with no worries ...

I loved the look and feel of the SC430. The interior was just as sleek as the exterior. A couple of things that I didn't like was that the run-flat tires ride really rough! I ended up changing them for regular tires - which can be an issue if you get a flat because there is no spare tire. The truck is pretty roomy, so I would keep a spare in there, but there wouldn't be much room for anything else. The car had great getup and go, but cornered like a tank. If you are looking for a stylish cruiser, it's perfect! I would still have this car, but I moved to where it rains all of the time, so I wouldn't be driving with the top down very often.

The ride and handling was incredible. The most reliable car I have ever owned. It feels like a full size car inside, very roomy. Has lots of storage space. Has lots of power.

The Lexus drives unlike any sports car I owned in the past. Smooth handling, excellent silent road noise control and ease of handeling. Excels without hesitation and very good visibility.

Mechanically excellent but cosmetically very bad. Lots of road rash and loose trim. Online photos looked much better.

Loved everything except back seat, too small for even a child over about 5 years old, but what a car for a single person, luxury looks and performance, very reliabel my choice over a vette!

Super classy styling inside and out in an irresistable RED hardtop convertible with a V8. How can you resist it?

This is a bulletproof option for buyers looking in the small niche of luxury convertible. Not available since 2010 it retains its value well with a loyal fan base.
