What I meant by interesting is that you are more or less unique. A McClaren is not something you find in every other driveway like an Accord or Camry.

For my '13 RX350:

1- The smooth and effortless way it does just about everything.
2- The adaptive cruise control.
3- Excellent passenger and cargo space.

For my '14 IS350:

1- Sporty seating position/interior layout.
2- Blind Spot Monitoring with Cross Traffic Alert.
3- Fantastic grip and handling.

Ventilated seats - I am a heavy sweater in warmer months. This is heaven sent!!

Heated steering wheel - minor feature but as long as i live in the snowbelt, I can't live without this again.

Panoramic moon roof - love the extra light that comes in, the slightly bigger opening, and of course the blacked out roof look.

S550
-The luxury. It's missing things that are ubiquitous nowadays, but the quality and craftsmanship is still amazing
-Silky smooth power. While not a muscle car, the delivery of the power is like a rocket ship. 0-60 in 5.5s in a 2.5 ton tank is exhilarating every single time. The rumble of a NA MB V8 is wonderful.
-Love the styling of the W221. Elegant and muscular.

FJ
-Styling, love it or hate it, it's unique. I smile every time I look at her.
-The off road capability. Unstoppable.
-The aftermarket. I constantly want to do something.

MINI Countryman
-Styling, it looks like a bulldog ready to pounce
-Fuel economy, best one on my stable at around 27mpg
-Handles like a go-kart. I go a little crazy in it...

Panoramic moon roof - love the extra light that comes in, the slightly bigger opening, and of course the blacked out roof look.

- Solar Panel Ventilation System. Never get into a stuffy car in the summer. Use Remote A/C on extra hot days.
- Adaptive Cruise Control
- Versatility. Recline the front seatbacks for lounge mode, fold the rear seatbacks for a nearly flat cargo area, only limited by the sloping hatch (rather than a squared off design)

My '07 IS350 heated/cooled seats are barely noticeable, I often look at the switch to be sure it's on.


Fav's: Black Sapphire Pearl paint, fantastic acceleration,& reliability!
