1994 Lexus SC Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a review
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!Jan 07, 2014

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.Aug 02, 2011

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 Dec 09, 2010

Ive owned this car for less than 2 years, and put over 30,000 miles on it so far for a total of 125,000. the only things that have had to be done to it were a new alternator and a tie rod end, which i think is pretty good. love the car fast sexy smooth rideJul 19, 2008

Amazing car. Been looking at these since high school! Rides like a dream, looks fantastic, plenty of power. Haven't driven it fast yet, on account of my only trip in it being 250 miles back from Massachusetts with bogus plates. Very under priced car - basically a luxury NA Supra (although the twin turbo Supra engine bolts right in - maybe sometime down the road). Leather, power everything, it's just a joy to drive.Jul 09, 2008

I would like the car if I had more money to maintain it. In the past I studied my manuals until I could diagnose alot and get the work done or do it myself. I've changed starters, alternators, fuel pumps ,water pumps, cooling systems,rotars, calipers,wireing harnesses,ect,ect,
But I am overwhelmed at all of the extra components and relays and sensors, ect, ect.
The parts are expensive, so is the labor, even the book I need is $200.00 Apr 26, 2008

Before I bought my Camaro, I test drove this bad boy. It left a good impression with me. The car was really nice and fast. The one I test drove had been neglected and had lots of problems, but ran fine despite the 200K miles.Dec 20, 2007
What users have asked
Why it loses power and speed?
Am running at 80 miles per hour and at some point it loses power but I did not release the accelerator. I have to step on it again. What's wrong?
