I have a 2002 SC430 and I've loved it. I'm not exactly a true sports car bigot though, so it fit me perfectly. Although I do have a dealer friend who just got a brand new vette and I liked it more than I thought I would. Don't know that I could do without a hardtop convertable. Yes, the back seat of the SC is a joke, but my kids are still small enough to fit back there for the short drive to school. Probably hold on to the SC430 (or even get a newer one) until the kids don't fit back there anymore.
