Post What do you hate the most about 1st Gen GS300's?

There are a lot of great things about 1 gens that make us keep working on them. But what is that one thing you hate the most about the car?

Limit to listing ONE thing. I'll start:


Of all things, what bothers me the most is that they were never offered with a black interior. I never understood that.

Since cup holders has already been mentioned, I hate the size of the trunk. It's way too small.

They came twin turbo in japan from the factory, what I really hate is that it NEVER came manual...

So I had to do that first before the twin turbo swap :P

Its hard to decide to just one thing, but if I must, I would have to say HP vs weight ratio.
