adi Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Hi, I am trying to make a decision to buy a used (2002) sc430 or not . First of all, I have to say I love everything about this car(by looking at it) I never drove one , so I am not sure how comfortable it is? Currently I have a rx 300 model 99 and the ride is quite comfortable. Did anyone drove both of these cars?Can you please , express your thoughts about the comfort in sc 430 vs. rx300. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rx330driver Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 cant quite say so in personal experience. but... people say the SC430 has a harsh ride because of the run flat tires (if equipped) and also its a "sports" car, which means it will have a harsher suspension. its not suppose to be a cruiser.

SpecialK-MD Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 I traded my 2000 RX300 for a 2003 SC 430. The RX was the best ride of any vehicle I've ever had. The SC makes up for the slightly harsher ride by pure s*x appeal and the coolness factor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Hello, I have a Pearl White/Camel interior 2002 SC430 and a 2007 RX350, so maybe I can answer your question. I bought the SC and absolutely love it. Now, I will tell you that with runflats on a rough road, it rides like a truck - very different from the SUV. However, I'm considering changing to regular tires and I hear on this forum that it changes the ride significantly. You can't beat the versatility of the convertible hard top, plus the car really moves on the highway. My son goes to college 8 hours from home and I've taken the SC on the drive down to see him every time. Absolutely a fun car to drive... Bottom Line, the rides are very different - you have to figure out what you're looking for - fun/zippy/sporty & low or practical/cushy/SUV-high. I love them both! Good luck!

Hey SpecialK, totally agree with you - I get lots of looks in my car - funny that I usually don't see people my age driving them! It is a HOT car!!
