    Lexus SC

    EPA MPG: 21 mpg

    RECALL ALERT:
    There are 2 recalls on this vehicle. Learn More.

    Road Test

    A hard-top convertible, the Lexus SC is a personal luxury car with an impeccably finished interior, a refined powertrain, and vestigial rear seats. While its configuration might lead you to believe it's a sports car, it is not. A cramped cabin and a stiff, fidgety ride are disappointments.
