Ls430 Vs Sc30

[Barry1000]

I currently own an ls430 and am thinking of buying an sc430. I have read various reviews about the sc430 which often talk about the quality of the ride. I wondered if there are any members who have experience of driving both and what you thought about how the two compared. For me the ride of the ls is one of the main attractions of the ls 430 and would hope the sc430 would be similar. Also if there are any other views about how the cars compare I would be keen to hear.

I sold my 2005 SC430 last October and miss it a great deal when the weather is good. It looks and feels great but the ride is not up to a car of this quality. You will feel every bump and be thrown about by uneven surfaces. Road holding is poor too. On pancake smooth roads of course it is fine but if you are expecting the grand tourismo experience you will be disappointed. I'd still chance another one though.

IMO the ride in the SC is bettered by the GS which itself isn't a patch on the LS so I'm not sure you would be happy. This is all subjective of course so I'd suggest a long test drive over difference road surfaces to experience for yourself.
