One very neat thing about the LC, is that the awesome sound is there when you want it, otherwise quiet.

So I usually browse the postings here and occasionally reply. But in this case, I have to weigh in: This car is solid. I leased for two years thinking I would give it back and get something else. Not the case. I bought out the lease last week and plan to keep this car for a while. Great looks and trouble free. Other than the squeaky brakes, which were fixed, I have never had a problem with the LC. It's not a sports car! It's a great looking GT that's fast enough for most folks (like me).

Nice kit! Which one is that? Also, what is the adjustment you made to the wing to be that high? Thanks

I agree, it is my daily use car and i also use it to travel every once in a while for 400 miles round trips. The trunk is enough to carry 2 midsize suitcases or 1 big suite case + 1 carryon + other small stuff here and there

Also, I am impressed by the LC for being extremely comfy, quite and enjoyable to use for long trips to the point where I forget that i am driving a sports car/coupe! Despite the fact that I have the sport package with the sport seats

I'm just a bit peeved that the rear seats don't fold down, since I used to take my Vettes on at least one late season ski trip. There must be a good reason that they don't fold down?

My previous Acura TL sedan had the same issue, while it is almost a default feature in such class! Its funny that it is based on Honda Accord which you can fold its rear seats ... i guess it is becoming almost a standard in luxury cars. Maybe for sound isolation purposes?!

So i wasn't surprised when I found out that LC rear seats won't fold

It is Structural Blue. ~ $107K new, without the additions of the aforementioned items & the carbon grill insert ($900.00).

Umm, I think "plagued" is an extreme over-exaggeration. From my experience on this forum, the issues aren't nearly as bad as pottypants claims. In fact, almost no fundamental major concerns. The most common complaint seems to be the brake squeal which many here have chosen to fix themselves or have the dealer fix with TSIB.

OP, don't be scared, the LC is a great car. The reason so many are for sale is because people are turning in their leases 24-36mo.

Lou how do you use the square one to hold a round beverage ? I attempted to make a template of the opening to support

They opted for optimum chassis rigidity with two large cross braces behind the rear seats.
