Not too much that I dislike about my car, maybe I didn't own it long enough like most of you here lol!. Actually I find her more refreshing than my 740i. There are things I need to get used to like the lighter steering and lighter doors but, she's a joy to drive. I wish that I at least had the Nakamichi stereo though I just have the regular stereo and cannot read the LCD screen oh well...

The suspension is too soft for my liking
I wish the factory wheels would be flush with the body from the factory so you dont have to mod it
Car rides too high
Lack of 1st in eshift mode and how you have to blip the throttle
Lack of LSD

biggest problem.................................................................................................

Lexus just has a bad rep, bottom line. I tell people i drive a lexus and they assume its a granny car until i floor it. If you disagree then watch the top gear test of the LFA. they say apart from the price its an amazing car...but its a lexus

I dislike the fact the hood latch wears out. (I'm afraid to get an oil change)
Weird rattling sounds that I can't find inside the car.
that's it so far.

Thanks champ. I've been up on here for a while now (about 8 years, I've gone through 3 Soarers lol). Oh, add one more thing I hate about the GS! My power antenna took a dump on me last week

Hrmm, I'll have to search that one up, never heard of that but my mate's 97 Aristo had the noise too.

1. I dislike the fact that the e-shift shifts down but not up
2. Mine also has the sunroof rattle
3. Shimmy shake on the steering
4. The car does not have a sporty/athletic stance like BMWs
5. 16-inch wheels (they look tiny compared to the car)

Have you felt the back side of your steering wheel? Down as well as up...
