The 2009 Lexus SC 430 is a luxury convertible under the Toyota banner. Part of the second and final generation of the SC series, it has a 4.3L V8 engine that produces 288 horsepower, paired with a six-speed automatic transmission. Offering both a stylish hardtop and convertible options, the SC 430 comes in a single well-equipped trim level. Features include real wood interior trim, leather upholstery, a Mark Levinson audio system, and Lexus's version of a navigation system. On the infotainment side, it features Bluetooth and navigation. Despite it being a higher-end model, it does not offer many modern safety features found in competitors during its year of production. As expected from Lexus, the SC 430 offers a quiet, comfortable ride; however, its performance dynamics garnered mixed reviews during its run.
