Years ago I had an SC 400. It was flawed.

I wander in looking at similar car is. But none really compare. Most people don’t realize it’s a convertible. Lexus really makes a great car

Shes a classy lady!

Love this car..... she purrs down the highway. Very quiet when the top is down. All the style and comfort you would ever need. Best of all, she is reliable and I have not had any major problems with this car since I've bought it! So glad I purchased this car! Will keep it as long as I can.

This has been a super reliable AND fun car!

This car rides great on the freeway and around town. Backseat worked great when kids were young. Put the top down and have fun in the sun!

Luxurious Lexus styling and Toyota reliability

This car is perfect for running around town and perfect for having date nights. Super comfy seats for long trips too. Reliable, powerful and stylish. Four seats allows the family to come along.

Most reliable convertible on the market.

We have owned limos and performance cars for most of our life. This is the car I'd rather be driving!! It looks great, has tons of power, always draws stares and thumbs ups.. drop the top and it simply screams look at me! Mine is the gold outside with ecru leather interior, amazing combination and I'll take this Cabriolet over all the cars I've ever owned.

Sexiest & best car ever!

Seriously I love my SC! It ?fits? me right and I love to drive it! Purrs like a lioness and she will ROAR when I need her to. Absolutely exquisite staying inside make me feel like i?m Wrapped in luxury! The hard top does well to keep out road / wind noise. I just LOVE to ride her with her top down too ! Nothing beats the way this car rides and responds on the road. Really not sure why Lexus stopped making these but must have had to do with the poor economy, last model was 2007 I think. This really is a great coupe and so much fun to drive! Highly recommend!

2005 Lexus SC430

Wanted a fun car (convertible) but needed to be able to drive it in the winter. The SC was an obvious because of the quality of the retractable hardtop. The interior stays both quiet and warm. Not much to say about the remainder of the vehicle. It?s a bit weak in the performance department compared to some true sport cars but otherwise.... it?s a Lexus. Incredible build quality and reliability. Translated, a 13 year old that looks like it just came out of the showroom and everything works.
