Interior Design and Special Features: It takes less than a half minute to transform the SC 430 from a coupe to a convertible. As expected of a Lexus, the cabin is handsome and finely finished, with an abundance of supple leather and lustrous wood throughout. Sadly, just two... |

2008 Lexus SC 430 OverviewSource: CarGurus...What isn't so wonderful, however, is the resulting trunk size. Starting out with only 8.8 cubic feet - which can be expanded to 9.4 cubic feet by checking off the run-flat tire option and removing the spare - the trunk shrinks further with the top down.Where can you store long-weekend baggage? In the rear seats, which reviewers found adequate for hauling purposes only - even small children will complain about the lack of legroom back there.

2008 Lexus SC 430 Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...Interior Considered a 2+2 coupe, the SC 430 has a tiny backseat that's intended mainly for luggage, which is helpful considering the sliver-shaped trunk. Rear legroom is nearly nonexistent. Cargo volume totals 8.8 cubic feet, but installing run-flat tires and deleting the spare yields a tad more space. Lexus uses natural leather and wood to re-create what it calls "the comfort of a luxurious living room." Standard equipment includes a navigation system, heated 10-way power front seats, a power tilt/telescoping steering wheel and a nine-speaker Mark Levinson stereo with an in-dash CD changer... |

Why should I also consider these?
These cars are much more expensive than the 2008 Lexus SC 430 but offer performance and seating closer to it than other convertibles on the market.
The Cadillac XLR and Mercedes-Benz SL are two-seaters with folding hardtops and arguably superior styling to the Lexus SC.
The Jaguar XK and BMW 6-Series have fabric tops, but better features and in the case of the Jaguar XK, glorious styling and a supercharged version.
Within the Lexus's price class, the Mercedes-Benz CLK convertible has seating for four and a fabric convertible top; plus, it's better-looking.
