I'll keep it short: It's a 4 seater (yes, 4 of us go to shooting competition) and we all fit. Unless you're a lonely man, 2 cup holders are essential.
Don't like to use voice features as it turns off the music and yes, direct buttons are essential.
Roof racks are cumbersome as ****. And yes, we have 2 road bikes.
And as for battery, as you referring to the hybrid?

I agree, just because it has 4 seat belts, doesn’t make it a 4 seater. Call it what it is... a 2+2

i don't know if you have the convertible or not, but the coupe has quite a bit more rear seat room than the convertible, but still unless there's no one in the front seat, or they're short and can more the seat way up, the rear seats are still limited to kids, pets, and stuff.

I’m 6’2 and my wife is 5 feet nothing. I can sit behind her when she drives the LC. Last time we had the car stuffed full of her *****y girlfriends so I sat in the back.
I look like a circus bear in a tiny car.
Hey it works though. Top down, it was a good time (for the girls). Not so much for me but it’s funny to experience it. Although at the end of the trip I was ready to throw all these girls out of my car and just leave them stranded downtown.

your knees must have been pressed into your chin.
and, just wondering, do you not have another bigger car that would been a whole lot easier?

Though, if Lindsay Lohan ever wanted to get in the back of my LC, her wish would be granted, and quickly

This is our dream car. Been keeping an eye on this car awhile now, the more I know, the more I get disinterested. Here's my list:
1.) Trunk space seems smaller than our RC. We travel a lot and our RC serves us good as we have a lot of stuff.
2.) Lack of cup holders.
3.) No buttons for seat ventilator/heating
4.) And just like the RC, can not install a trailer hitch for bike racks.
These are just my observations. Do correct me if I'm wrong. As beautiful as the car is, taking away these daily functional features is a turn off.

I was buying a new car, and was stuck between the LC and new Corvette. But, if I bought the new Corvette, I would have to sell my current Corvette and my SC430 and use the money from that to buy an every day car, about $50K. Thus, most likely buy a new RC and I'd then have a new Corvette. But, since the everyday car was going to be driven the most, I wanted the LC, it was that drop dead good looking. I have a winter beater, but we don't get much snow in Kentucky, but just in case.

Minor annoyances for the pure enjoyment you will get from the LC. Who cares about trunk space, and bike hitch, hook that up to your other car, not the LC I was buying a new car, and was stuck between the LC and new Corvette.
