Practical for Road trips?
I was wondering is the LC500 good for 5-6 hour road trips? I have family that lives in far away, I probably go every month or so to see them. Would be amazing if I can drive a car like LC500 to visit. LC owners, what do you guys think?
Assume you are talking interstates
Remember the LC is a GT car, and GT should be its middle name
I've taken two in mine. I bought may LC in Lincoln Nebraska and drove it home to Arizona. Over Thanksgiving I went to visit relatives in Las Vegas. It's amazing over the road. You can stretch its legs. You can also set the drive mode and change the characteristics of the engine or suspension or both. Yes, it's made for the open road

Absolutely! I've done about 8 four hour trips and I can confidently recommend the LC for road trips! Almost feels like a sedan
Only down sides is the limited trunk space and weird radar system that brakes miles away from the cars in front of you
I have the sport seats btw and they were comfy enough for such long trip

It happen to e on a twisted road where someone was doing a turnaround and the radar thought we were crashing but we were not.
It was surprising when the brakes were applied for no reason.

Maybe 300 mile trips where I take out into country roads.
That's when you can open it up and clear the carbon out of the pistons...

That might be different. i.e. distance from the car you are following on adaptive cruise vs pre-collision sensitivity.

I wonder if you turn off all the nannies if the pre-collision system is turned off too...
Man, when I am on the twisties, I don't need this crap turning on inadvertently.
