Yeah!

Since we have a "4 things you love about this car" thread, I figured might as well do a "4 things you hate about this car" thread. I'll start:

1) Rear seats are useless except for insurance purposes

2) 90's style powered radio antenna. Has Lexus not seen a Honda S2000's little stubby antenna?!?

3) Run craps! Err, I mean run flats.

4) No keyless entry/exit & engine start/stop.

In terms of a daily driven cruiser (Not a sports car), I'd take this convertible hardtop over any other for the looks, reliability & ML sound system but that's just me.

FunGuy

1. Runs on gas
2. Not fast as Mclaren F1
3. Has 3 seats instead of 4
4. Wish it wasnt a convertible

nothing! At first, I didn't know anything about modding when I bought the car so I really didn't hate anything about it.

After that, since I've changed or added some things, I still don't have anything to hate about this car.

4 things I dislike huh? Well, here are mine:

no stock LSD,
low on torque and HP (does this count as 2?),
stock suspension,
no sixth gear, at least on my car

All but the last are fixable through mods so no problem.
But still, I agree with Tee. It's a great reliable car.

Nothing, & I even like the "useless" rear seats, you can put a lot of stuff there, but the seats makes the car looks better than without them.
The suspension could be sportier, but I am well aware of that when I bought it - it's a luxury cruiser, not a sports car, so I don't hate it.

1) throttle response
2) no backup camera
3) too quiet i don't know how fast i am going (is this good or bad?)
4) car is too flashy that even cops look at it...

1. Slow Stearing
2. 1st gear is a little to tall (2007)
3. No place to grab on the trunk (trim, license frame...) when closing so there is always finger prints on the edge (Black Saphire)
4. Bluetooth and voice buttons not on front of steering wheel

Easly correctable item: No exhaust note (don't want it loud but god it does have a V8 so make some noise).

Number 3 has a work around. There is a handle on the inside of the trunk and if you do the "pull quickly and get your hand out fast" technique, you can close your trunk everytime, finger print free. It takes about 3 to 4 practice swings to get it right but trust me, once you get it down, you'll wonder why all cars don't have that handle as its quicker and easier.

1. Price - yes, I know it's cheaper than an SL, but I still didn't like paying it.
2. Light steering feel.
3. harsh ride over bumps.
4. My wife wants to drive it!

BloodDoc

1) Horrible seats and seating position- sport coupe with Town Car flat seats
2) Electronic Throttle - Push the pedal, count to three and pray
3) Needs much more power
4) Poor highway fuel economy - Even Vettes get over 30 mpg on the hwy

StunnaSC

1. seats dont go all the way back
2. not loud enough
3. handling sucks
4.more trunk space then back seats

I know I don't own one but I want to chime in....hey, shoot me!

1. Some departure from the original SC
2. Not enough leg room
3. Should have been more wheel options from the factory, something sportier...it is a sport coupe/grand sport tourer.
4. More power
5. Forced me to get a G35 because it's too small

1) How people complain so damn often of the reasons why they did not buy the car when they had no intention to purchase it anyhow and instead buy a car that is not even close to this category yet alone the price point.
2) How people complain about the rear seats when they should know off hand that putting in real rear seats would force a soft top. Should have deleted the rears altogether.
3) The attention the car receives. More than any car I have owned and I have owned a few.
4) Run flats.

ayu910

1) no 6 sp (manual, I mean)
2) chassis too soft, need reinforce chassis (sport susp, larger sway bar, tires, etc)...this car only present to be a sports car and that is about it
3) steering wheel too big
4) power (might imporve with manual...)

that is about it...it appear Toyota is still in the anti-sports mode even on building their flagship sports car.

I guess I just miss my JZA80....

1. Well, there's the . . . no, that's OK.

2. The thingy on the right doesn't work all the time -- oh, wait, yes it does.

3. Everybody tells me that . . . . now that I think, they like it.

4. Never mind.
