Default What do dislike about your SC?

I don't know yet if I want to get an '95 SC400 or spend loads of money on ES that I have now. I have been reading loads of reveiws all over the internet, and they really dont have anything bad to say about the SC. They ***** about the dash lights going dim after 90k miles and the car being to small. I think its too good to be true.

Now that I think about, the only think I dislike about my ES is that I feel its too big for me and my dash needle has faded in one spot.

So what do you dislike about your SC?

I need another 2 inches of head room. Other than that the car has no peers. I'm on my second one.

the SC is actually bigger (in length than the es). I have both and the sc is fun to drive but the es seems more relaxing to sit in. Maybe because mine is a manual. There are a few things to dislike.. The headlights always fog up, guages/climate control bust. The leather seats rip, more so on the SC than other cars. There are more but they refer to the sc300 (engine). I don't have a 400 so i wouldn't know much about it. The sc is a great car though, loved it since the first time i saw it. Also the brakes aren't that great. A few hard stops and they turn into jello.

There's not much to dislike about the SC. I guess you could just look at the common problems for SCs, i.e. - dash lights, water pump/alternator, etc. Otherwise, it's eerily free of annoyances. Being a dealer, I've had dozens of personals cars, nothing stacks up to the SC. It's simply a wonderful car, nearly perfect. A true joy to drive.

I really dont dislike anything on my SC, the lines are beautiful for a 11 year old + design, (I still get complements on how new my car looks.) It rides and preforms great, and its a very well built car. But sometimes I just wish there was a super charger or a twin turbo under the hood. So I could be like this guy Anyway that just my 2 cents

Not enough cup holders
No Mobile phone storage compartments
No coin holders (for tolls etc)
Not enough leg room for the passenger

But they are minor gripes, and easily forgotten once you start driving (just need to turn the stereo up loud enough to drown the complaints from the passengers!)

No leather seats in the twin turbo, but then again I'd rather have the 1JZ than leather seats That only appy for the JDMs though hehe

Oh yeah, and the stock headlights when they're turned on... but that's it.

My biggest gripe is there's not enough room in my garage for another one!

I absolutely love my SC.

I hate the the SC400 has an open differential. (only one wheel spins at a time)
There isn't enough power and there are no mods to make it compete with better cars (rx7, supra etc.)

I would almost agree with O.L.T. The only things I hate are the headlights (way to dim for factory that is) and the damn gas tank location and the trunk, that is only thing I can think of...
