Roof racks are cumbersome as ****. And yes, we have 2 road bikes.
And as for battery, as you referring to the hybrid?

It's a 4 seater? Not bloody likely. My SC430 was a "4 seater" too, and the LC500 has even less room in the back seat. I tried to sit back there just to try it, no way, beyond crazy. I would never let anyone sit in the back unless they were under 5 years old.

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.

One of the auto reviewers said it best when they said the back seat was made for your friends who do not have legs.

In 3 and 1/2 years, one time one person sat back there, cross town in Flagstaff. Otherwise occasional luggage.

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.

NGL I've read some weird stuff online, but this one is up there.

If Mean Girls can stuff 4 into the SC430, it should work for the LC convertible as well

ok, we need to see a pic.

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?

Unless your a contortionist AND don’t have claustrophobia, it ain’t happening. If you’re in a wreck even the jaws of life aren’t saving you. I wouldn’t allow anyone to sit back there.

I think those are five foot nothing girls that weigh 100 pounds. Plus, they are not actually driving anywhere for more than 5 seconds. lol
Though, if Lindsay Lohan ever wanted to get in the back of my LC, her wish would be granted, and quickly

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.
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. 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.

IMO trunk space is important, and why I never owned a Ford GT. Corvettes we've had and we could go skiing with skis in back. Not so with the LC, but any car I get has to be able to accommodate the two of us for at least a weekend trip.

Don't you own another car to drive if you actually needed more trunk space for skiing or something ? I mean, I use my wife's RX if we are going out with friends, or my Venza if I'm making a Home Depot run. It's a weekend get away car with a significant other, the back seats holds suitcases too
