Title: the best of the best
4.88 out of 5 starslsz5343, 04/24/2011
1995 Lexus SC 300 2dr Coupe
Review: I am the original owner of a jade green, 5 speed,
in mint condition, 1995 SC300 with 105k miles that I love more then any car I have ever owned. I still feel proud when I get behind the wheel and take it for a spin. Heads roll when I stop at a light and the car gets the royal look over..some folks have me roll down my window to ask what year and model it is...it still drives and … feels like the day I bought it and except for the A/C going out a few years ago, and a leaking rack and pinion that had to be replaced, it has been the least expensive car to own I have ever had. I will keep this car for as long as parts are still available.
Beautiful Sports Coupe

This Lexus is an excellent sports car. It handles beautifully, has plenty of power, and just looks stellar! I have gotten quite a few compliments from strangers about this car. It also definitely turns heads.
The Lexus Supra

1993 Lexus SC 300 2dr Coupe
These are great cars if you can find one with a factory 5-speed manual (or perform a manual swap).
I had read about SC300's years before buying one and knew of their extremely close lineage to the fourth generation Toyota Supra sports cars and especially the much better equipped Toyota Soarers (same exact car except for the engine).
I got my chance a year ago when I found a higher … mileage 5-speed model.
It only had one prior owner and had no accident history.
Save some expected cosmetic wear (replaced/fixed easily through parts channels/forums) and the need to do routine maintenance to a used car it has been an excellent drive and totally reliable.
Own one, you'll understand

1994 Lexus SC 300 2dr Coupe
I’ve got the 5-speed manual version
that made C&D's 10 Best List for three
consecutive yrs. This car would have to
rank as one of the best luxury sports
coupes made in the mid-90's. It is a
magnificent blend of luxury and
sports. The car feels molded to you as
the leather seats, steering column
provide incredible adjustments. The 225
HP engine emits a wonderful … sound when
you get into it. Zero to 60 in 6.8
seconds. Tight, reliable and
beautiful. An impressive luxury
interior and a reputation for long term
reliability. There are only a few
hundred 5-speed manuals. Don't buy the
SC300 w/o a 5
speed, get the 400.
We have a limited number of reviews for the 1995 Lexus SC 300, so we've included reviews for other years of the SC 300 since its last redesign.
