I'm in the car buying market right now and was looking at the sc300, i've heard of all the raves, i was just wondering what some of the rants were, if any. please try to be honest. thanks in advance!

I'm 6'1 and I have a lack of headroom. But my wife drives the car everyday so no problem for me. I just drive whenever we are going somewhere together.

No other complaints here. Great car for the price.

Here are some stuff I've read or come across on my own SC:
1. dash lights tend to go out
2. dash needles tend to go out
3. climate control bulbs/LCD panel tends to go out
4. rear rattling of suspension (I think someone mentioned it was due to sway bar mounts/bushings?)
5. black plastic trim around center vent tends to crack over period of time due to heat variance
6. in-line 6 requires relatively more work to do maintenance items such as change spark plugs.

Now with all these known issues, I still love my SC. I have only experienced a few of these on my '92, and would compare it to any other car the same age comparing quality and solidity. The suspension is awesome stock. I just wished the car was a little lighter overall.

good luck, find a clean sample and you'll love it!
