Overview
Lexus and SC drivers seemed to agree that there was little room for improvement regarding this luxury sports coupe in 1994. The only change from '93 dealt with air conditioning technology. A CFC-free refrigerant was added to the AC system. More significant changes were still a year away.
The Sc 300's ride was a bit of a departure from what one might expect from a Lexus. The suspension was tuned a bit stiffer for a better feel of the road. The handling was more Lexus-like, and the rear wheel drive helped the SC hug tight turns at higher speeds. The 1994 coupe utilized the same 3.0 liter inline six, which made 225 horsepower and 210 lb-ft of torque. The SC 300 had a 0-60 time of 6.8 seconds, and an acceptable sports car fuel economy of 18/23 mpg.
Drivers found the SC 300 to be a true GT car, but the manual transmission offers a more rewarding driving experience. Unfortunately, the 5-speed model is a bit harder to come by. Overall, long time SC owners call it a beautiful and reliable car. The interior feels as if it is molded for the eager driver. By 1994, most of the steering kinks reported in the earlier models had been resolved.

I bought my 94 SC 300 about 3 months ago and fell in love with it instantly! It has so much style, performance is great, handles beautifully, and most of all, since its basically a Toyota, my son the mechanic can work on it and loves to. I checked out the reviews on this car before I bought it, so I knew it was rated very well. But once I saw it and drove it, I knew I had to get it. It also came with 70k original miles which was a major reason I bought it; its basically just broke in. Love this car!

This is a fun car. As far as stock goes, they are nice cars for their day. They have more technology in them now than some new cars. Acceleration is not bad, handling is ok, braking is pretty good. They are like a love/hate car looks- wise. They are cheap to fix labor wise because it's a Toyota but some parts can get expensive with that Lexus badge on it. Gas mileage is decent. As far as aftermarket support goes, this car is fantastic. I bought it specifically for a build. This car is the same engine/trans/driveline as a Toyota Supra as well as the same frame. Anything that fits a Supra WILL fit this car. The 2JZ-GTE engine drops right in seeing as the car comes with the naturally aspirated version of the engine. However, being slightly long than the Supra, this car also makes a great drifter.

Best car ever even after 17 years of abuse and 200K miles put on her. This car is rock solid and still pulls 150mph. The car gets a modest 20mpg and has a decent ride. The car handles like a GT of the 90s to this day. Plenty of torque and loves the lower altitudes. This car is a example of what Lexus used to be. A quite reliable car with ever luxury of its time. GPS, Blue tooth, remote start, heated seats and a heated cup holder only add to the quality. The wood grain is real even down to the steering wheel. Upgraded gated shifter updates the car. While the 22 gallons of gas can take you around 400-500 miles on one tank. The trunk is small however still fits 2 sets of clubs. The nakimitchi stereo has been replaced with Hertz audio. The leather is still supple and this has been my most enjoyed car for everyday use. Though I still hope to have it till 300k
