Things I hate about the SC:

*The window trim always crack in the middle, and those things are not cheap to replace.

*Sunroof drain gets clogged and water leaks into your carpet. I've been trying to unclog this sunroof drain by blowing compress air into it but I think I need to use another technique because it's still clogged.

*Whenever I hit a bump, my steering goes outta wack.

*Plastic headlights. They should make glass ones, because it's annoying having to keep polishing mine's. I am obsessed, as soon as it gets yellow, I gotta hit it with some plastiX.

*Needles: why oh why do they have to burn out.

*Heavy *** door that doesn't open far enough.

*LCA are made in a way that you have to replace the whole thing when the pillowball goes bad.

ok heres my list:

Window trim cracked in the middle on the drivers side

the climate control always blows the hot air on my feet so my feet are sweating and my head is freezing

plastic headlights

if a brake light bulb burns out you have to remove the entire light housing

my one fog light has a bad connection and doesnt always come on until you tap it

The dumbass GE intake manifold!
**** poor Trunk struts.
The stock antenna was ugly as hell.
The huge pain in the *** the factory stereo is for aftermarket sound.
That an Auto was even an option on these cars.
And Glass headlights would be sooo nice.

My OEM cd changer sucks, so I only get to listen to music when the car lets me. Other then that all the little issues have already been taken care of.

Stock Handling - Sporty compared to other big luxury cars I've driven, but needs to be firmer, with less roll. It can get a bit floaty at times, does okay in medium speed corners, front outside tire squeals and front end plows in slow, tight cornering.

Headlights - Love the look and projector design, but I've had to buy one from the scrap yard and reseal the other to finally get rid of the condensation.

Trunk Struts - My car is away for the winter, but getting smacked on the head by the trunk is one thing I do not miss.

Power Antenna - About half the SC's I see for sale locally have broken antennas. Mine was fine for 6 months until I had to replace it when the track wore out. Easy fix, but still a problem on SC's.

Did your car have a stroke?

I hate that my SC sucks in the snow
I hate that the heated seats don't work
I hate the swamp back in the summer
I hate how hard it is to keep the paint in great shape

And most of all, I HATE that it has ruined any chance of me considering anything other than a Lexus for future vehicles. Any time I sit in any other car, I can't stop myself from thinking how cheap it feels.
