The Lexus SC 430 Delivers

Added: 02/19/2006

Wow. That's all I can say after test driving the Lexus SC 430. This new Lexus sport two-door automobile is class all the way. Once you sit in the comfortable leather you won't want to get up. I assure you that if you take a test drive at your local dealership, you will not be disappointed. This is a quality automobile that will turn-heads, get you noticed, and handle anything the road throws at you!

Unless you've been living in a cave for the past dozen years, you must have seen a Lexus on the road. Lexus is one of the highest-rated automobile manufacturers in the world. Just look around. Everywhere you go you can spot the luxurious form of a Lexus streaking down the street. Long known and recognized for performance, comfort, style, and power, Lexus is at the top of the food chain as far as quality automobiles go. The Lexus SC 430 departs a bit from the traditional luxury car Lexus has become famous for. This Lexus sport two-door model is a convertible vehicle and a true sports car.

With the top down, the Lexus SC 430 instantly transforms into a roadster at the flip of a switch. Even though the SC 430 is a sports car, Lexus hasn't stripped the model of its luxurious pedigree. It is a comfortable car with a leather interior mixed with a choice of quality woods.

The Lexus SC 430 is equipped with rear-wheel drive powered by a monstrous V8 engine. The suspension is independent and the control the Lexus SC 430 demonstrates is impressive. It handles all paved roads with ease - in the city or the country. After test-driving this fine machine you won't want to drive anything else. But before you make up your mind, let's take a look at a few more features of this quality sports car.

In terms of interior comfort, Lexus delivers. The Lexus SC 430 features incredibly soft leather seats, metallic and wood trim, a satellite navigation system that can guide you from place to place with a touch of the screen, and a superior-quality Mark Levinson audio system. What's great about the SC 430 is that it doesn't have many optional features. The reason? It's simple - almost all of them are standard in this fine auto. But if you want to dress it up a bit, you can go for the rear spoiler. Also on option are run-flat tires which can come in handy!

What would a Lexus be without safety features? Keeping close to its luxury roots, the Lexus SC 430 is equipped with dual front and side airbags, anti-lock brakes, and traction control.

The Lexus SC 430 is a sports car but it is not the type of sports car ready for the Indy 500. Remember, Lexus is famous for its luxury and the SC 430 is a hybrid of speed, performance, luxury, and style. However, it is quick. The SC 430 is limited to a top speed of 143 miles-per-hour - more than enough speed for today's driver.

Another feature that demonstrates Lexus' commitment to quality is the AFS system. AFS stands for Adaptive Front Lighting System. I find this to be one of the finest features. If you've ever been driving on a country or suburban road late at night you know that the ambient light is poor at best. What the Lexus SC 430's AFS does is use a complex computer processor to automatically tilt the headlights to best illuminate the road. If you're banking into a turn, the lights will adjust to provide the best visibility.

All in all the Lexus SC 430 is a fine automobile. Combining the traditional comfort and style of a Lexus coupe with the performance of a sports car, the SC 430 is a true winner in its class. At the least, you will turn heads with this beautiful machine. Stop by your local dealership today and take a test drive!
