Not everything, however, is perfect. In addition to a cramped backseat and limited cargo space, the 2010 Lexus SC 430 isn't as performance-oriented as class rivals. Test drivers assert that the 2010 Lexus SC 430 is geared more towards sporty grand touring than all-out sports performance. "Dynamically, it's soft, vague, and jiggly compared with the latest machinery, and a bit pricey," explains Car and Driver. "It is a boulevard cruiser for dawdling sun-seekers."
