    Most powerful and reliable convertible for money

    Only issue is when hitting bumps, but is easily fixed with the right tires. Other than that it is much more than I could have ever expected.

    Most stylish car I’ve ever owned

    This car is one of the nicest cars I’ve ever owned and it has so much style it gets a lot of looks and at the same time the performance is very amazing. The technology is also a plus with the hard top convertible it is hard to imagine that this technology is as good as it is.

    Excellent design, terrific value & top reliability

    After driving my SC430 it's a true Lexus pedigree with style & grace... a real long term keeper. I would recommend this car for those seeking a sports car convertible.

    Love this car ❤️

    It’s sporty enough to be loads of fun to drive, and comfortable enough for road trips! Tons of leg room. Plenty of trunk space for traveling.

    Amazingly Comfortable.

    Couldn't love it more. Lots of style and fun to drive! Safety was defiantly an priority when this car was built. The extra safety gear makes me feel so much better as I drive

    Excellent Lexus quality, second to none.

    Great luxury Sports Coupe with hard-top convertible. Excellently built by a company with a no-nonsense reputation for quality.

    Amazing car.

    I've had mine since it was new. It is a great car. I travel by road a lot for my work so I wanted something I would enjoy driving anywhere and everywhere. I now have 421000 miles on it, Yes 421000. The car has held up wonderfully. I had intentions on getting rid of it when it hit 200k but when I found out Lexus discontinued it, i just held onto this one because I was just going to buy another one. The car has original motor and transmission and has needed no major repairs. The drivers seat is just now starting to get a small tear at the seam of the leather. Everything still works great. I love this car and still drive it cross country for my job. I wish they came out with something comparable so I could replace it!

    My Dream Car

    I've owned this car for 8 months and love it. I searched for a year to find the right one for me after trying many other premium sports cars like Mercedes, Nissan, BMW, etc. The design is beautiful. It's exciting to drive -- and I'm not even that fond of cars in general. But at 115 on the freeway, it's as smooth as 35 in town. Sleek, dependable, and uncommon.
