Fun review as always, Sarah! However I think you overlooked one of the coolest things about the car: with the top down AND the windows rolled down, there is zero wind buffering. In fact it makes an environment bubble. I drove one with the top/windows all down in 50 degree weather with the heaters on and it got too hot! I hope you get a chance to try that before you return it. It's truly an incredible engineering feat in convertible design

I'm pretty sure that "back seat" is just to try to convince insurance companies it's a family car, not one of those dangerous sports cars 😀 It definitely sounds great, and looks great - especially in that color - with the top down. Very few convertibles look decent with the top up, so I agree that if I had the money to buy something like that I'd go for the coupe version.

The fun factor, the comfort factor, and the fact that you can enjoy a NA V8 is worth the cost. These cars will be gone soon. Yes, Sarah, you are not a 50yo professional. Thats why it doesn't appeal to you. I get that.

@@G0ddEityawesome some people like the sound of the inherently unbalanced 90deg firing other v8, with the pulses, many don't. 90deg firing order v8s need massive crank counter weigths to take the vibration.and it is those weights that ultimately limit the performance of the engine. For a low performance (almost no performance) 4x4 v8 engine, with its tiny output vs the displacement, it doesn't matter much, the crank is not stressed too hard. There is a reason nearly all earth moving equipment, and faem equipment use in line 6. I6 is inherently balanced, and way more reliable. E.g., the Ford i6 Barra does 1M kms in taxis, that are them sold, and the new owners love them. But, if you like the v8 sound... those in the know just laugh.

Using the front air vents as an M&M dispenser is a superb marketing tool (LOL!)... if you're inclined to allow unruly kids in the car. I've driven the coupe and this convertible and found both to have about the same effect on my senses. In other words, my fun-meter was pegged in both. I do like the look of the convertible. While the top is soft, it is well insulated, so road noise isn't really an issue. Given the features and reliability of the LC, I believe there is so much more bang for the buck when you compare it to similar models by the German automakers. I am happy that I've discovered your channel given both your excellent sense of humor and overall automotive knowledge. 👍

The reason why people don't like convertibles is they don't know how to use the wind screen. The wind screen makes the cars great! If i had to drive mine without the wind screen, I would keep the top up most of the time because its just too much wind. With the wind screen in place and windows up, you can drive on the interstate and not mess your hair up but you still have the open top experience. It sad so many people that own them don't understand this and some of the cars don't have the wind screens or they are sitting in the previous owners garage. I challenge Sarah to try a convertible with the wind screen and then reevaluate the convertible cars.

100% soft-top. Remember the main purpose of this car that is to enjoy the drive, sometimes in a spirituous way and enjoying the beautiful V8 sound. Yes, it is not the fastest, not the sportiest but… who cares? It is you, the machine and experience of driving. I also was not a fan of soft-top cars, until I drove a R8 V10 Spyder in Austria. The sensation, the emotion, the feelings I got in the mountain drive was amazing, even though it was a lower speeds (then returning to Germany at 320km/h on the Autobahn, but that Is another story). That changed my mind in regards to soft-tops.
