| Just curious. I think it looks nice but some people say that back seats are practically useless. Anyone driven one? |

note: the engine from the SC430 is the same engine they use in JGTC supra's

and XS engineering turbo charged the SC430. 830 HP or something. and it still handles lik a luxury car.

| as a couple people have said, i don't see why there is a back seat. it just adds weight to the car. very nice though |

| I have driven the SC 430 on many occasions . Very nice car , but like mentioned earlier still handles like a luxury car . Personally its Lexus just giving people a sport coupe but the suspension and so forth are still geared for comfort and plushness LOL . I personally love the coupes before they launched the new sc 430 . :bow: |

You guys are going to kill me. You guys are going to hunt me down and murder me. Instead of buying the silver tC with a TRD supercharger, like I had promised myself, I broke down and bought myself this:
How can I live with myself now? |

By the way, the back seats are useless. The seatbacks are perfectly vertical... 90 degrees, straight up! The only way someone can even fit back there is if the front seat is moved all the way forward and the seat bottom is lifted all the way up. That forces the person in the front seat to have their forhead practically against the windshield while the rake of the back window forces the rear passenger's to stare down at their lap. Not too comfortable.
Of course, if you only need to have three people in the car the person in the back can sit sideways and that is better. And with the top down it os more doable, too. |
