Lexus SC rendered by avarvarii
While the first SC is not even worth mentioning (at least not in terms of design) the second one proved to be a pretty strong player. It was the first luxury cabriolet with 2 + 2 seats and got to be known all over the world due to various rap clips . The Lexus design changed dramatically in 2005, when the beta “L-finesse” produced the magnificent second IS. The 2007 LS further pointed that the IS was no accident and Toyotas can also look stunning. We can now dare and dream at the third generation SC that could bring us the rough-sporty side of the “L-finesse” philosophy. . An increased wheelbase should be a must on the new car, that way it can have descent rear room, and a real chance against the competition.

Review Guide: 5=Perfect; 3=Good; 1=Poor
Pros: What do you like about 2007 Hyundai Sonata?
Sonata V6. Very good performance on highway.
Decent interior roomy.
After three years with this vehicle….nothing has been an issue, I only drive, and drive without any concerns….. DEPENDABLE & RELIABLE.
I love the looks and even my friends have said they like this car.
I would say for the money you get very good acceleration and braking.
Steering and handling are OK.
I love the fact that it is one of the safest vehicles, specially for the deadly side impacts.
I would say this is a simple working car with some muscle that makes me feel confident every time I hit the road.
I plan on keeping this one for at least 10 years, then buy an Audi or BMW (I love these too), but still then, I am going to have the Sonata for Winter because I know it's gonna last for some more years.
Great mileage on highway. Headrests are very well designed.
Cons: How would you improve 2007 Hyundai Sonata?
Gas mileage is not really so great in the city.
I only had an issue initially with the computer that calculated the weight to activate or deactivate the front passenger airbag, but it would appear that it readjusted the settings by itself; still, Hyundai offered to change it for free.
2007 Hyundai Sonata Review:
It is one of the best cars you will ever have when considering the relation COST – BENEFIT.
I am very happy with this vehicle.
