Also the car really needs a set of downpipes will especially help with low speed fun, the factory exhaust is essentially a valved straight pipe only thing bottling it up are the factory dps. And yeah, oem oil is an acura full syn 0w-40

    Did the LC in this comparison have the rear wheel steering option, and does that mitigate the "heavy" or "boat"-like feel of the car at low speeds? I test drove a roadster without rear wheel steering and am on the fence about the weightiness. Thanks. So far as I know, you cannot get the Dynamic Handling Package on the Roadster. Is that still correct?

      @lmff620 I believe this particular Inspiration Series has it. I own an LC with Dynamic Handling Package, which contains the rear wheel steer and it does help mitigate some of the heavy feel of the car. Yes, that's correct - the convertible does not have the rear wheel steer option available.

    LC materials are cheap compared to the older LS460. I've had the leather come off and cracked on the LC500's upper bolsters with 20,000 miles vs an LS460 with 150k miles.
