Despite stereotypes of two door sports cars, this one is durable and reliable.
I have had it since 2002 and it still works really well. A few issues recently, due to age, but it is surprisingly durable. The trunk holds a lot for such a small car. The only con is that the backseats are not made for adults to sit in, so though it is possible, it is not very comfortable. The seats are mainly there for insurance purposes. The front seats are very comfortable, though, and there is plenty of room. All in all, a great experience!!

My Lexus sc430. The wide body design and 18 inch tires make for a smooth ride.
The Lexus sc430 is one of the finest engineered cars I have ever driven. The hard top convertible opens and closes smoothly in 26 seconds by the push of a button. The mark Levinson sound system is a masterpiece of Audio engineering designed to bring out highs lows and voice.

Lexus SC 430 Unique, Special, and Hard to Find
My car the Lexus SC430 is reliable and very comfortable. Even though it is an older care, the interior is well taken care of and performs well on the road. This car is a gas guzzler and I only drive short distances. My only complaint is that the cup holders are very short, causing drinks to spill.
