Loves & Hates!
Having been a Porsche person for over 20 years, I bought a new SC430 three months ago to replace my BMW 8 series as an every-day car. Kept the 8, for now, just in case!
My SC loves are - exclusivity (yet to see another one on the road), looks, power, great sat/nav and sound system, best folding tin top there is, plus all the extra goodies like heated seats, wood/leather interior & steering wheel etc.
I have no hates as such, but would have preferred - a steptronic option rather than pure auto, slightly more positive handling and a more discernable exhaust note.
Overall I'm delighted with the car - the Lexus customer care is second to none and I certainly won't be tempted to return to Porsche. The newer SC's have normal tyres (replacing run-flats) and a modified suspension which improves the ride.
Suggest you test drive one as soon as possible.
