The SC430 is a very quiet and reliable car. The drawbacks are that service and parts are pretty pricey. A good thing to this drawback is that I had my 2003 SC430 serviced at a Toyota dealership as the parts are exactly the same. If you need any parts, just go to a Toyota dealership and order the parts through them.
I no longer have the SC430 and yes, I do miss the convertible aspect and I really miss the quality of the interior of the car but not much else. The seats are barcaloungers compared to the BRZ I now have and with very nice leather. The suspension is just there to support the car and give a nice ride. When the road turns, the car reacts very slowly. I spent thousands on the suspension and it is no where close to the BRZ.
One other thing is that the SC430 is build VERY well. No creaks, groans, or any problems whatsoever. It is a very reliable car. The rear seats are a bit more useful than the BRZ but the trunk space is less; and it becomes much less when you want to put the top down. The engine of the SC is very smooth and quiet but you will not get the mileage of our cars.
I bought the BRZ because I wanted another reliable commuter car that I could still have fun with on the weekends. Just my 2 cents.
(I had to look around a bit but here's a picture of the SC I had)
