I HATE that I cannot find an adapter that works with the right pinouts for the stereo. I had to jerry-rig mine using an old toyota (1996) plug. I had to get the mechanic's manual to figure it all out. But the stereo is sweet and the satellite radio is now integrated into it.

And, I hate the color (gold metallic) but for the price, it was really a great deal and too good to pass up.

Otherwise, it's a pretty sweet car.

Blast from the past Please.. My 1999 Gs 400 has a "rattle" in the moonroof. Moving the cover used to solve the issue but it's getting worse. I remember seeing you did a in depth solution but can't find it now that I need it... Please send it to me. Thanks in advance,bow,bow. Kurt

I hate how the upper control arms have no clearance when you slam the car.

do you have non-OEM wheels? Toyota designed our cars with lug centric wheels and most aftermarket wheels do not.

I'm sure someone said it but 6+ pages is too much for me to go through but the bland interior is really my only complaint besides the stock height, other than that it's why I choose a Lex any day over a Benz or BMW... the occasional rattles are kinda annoying but again it's a Lexus so whatever, I'm pleased to drive a luxury car
