Another 1 week owner reporting in...
I have only 2 gripes...the first (and I knew it when I bought the car) is the lack of a full heated steering wheel.
The second is the fact that the Navigation system is very difficult to use. When I set a quick destination, it disappears from the Address Book. Instead of the name showing up in the spot, I have to remember which Icon I set for the car. This means that if I have my sister's house set to #3, I have to remember it. If I look in the address book, her name is not there! Same regarding numbers 1-5. Pretty silly.
Otherwise, its a great car. Lovely ride...just enough road feel to make me fell like I'm driving. It seems to handle the black ice really well. No major loss of traction even during the blizzard last week in NY. Since the car is front wheel drive, it really pulls through in the snow.

I would agree with your NAV evaluation and apparently a lot of others do too. I wish that the entire wheel was heated but can work with just the sides. I think you'll have many enjoyable miles...

I am enjoying it, especially the vented seats. I used them in the 50 degree 'heat wave'.
One last nav gripe is that you can't select your saved locations if the car is moving. Why? Does lexus need to protect me from myself? Honda/Acura, and all 3rd market gps allow you to use them while driving. If there is a disclaimer, let me sign it and turn it on.

We've been having a heat wave for the last few weeks in the 60s/70s. Such is Calif weather + major drought again this year. Very little rain since Dec.
Agreed on the Nav. system. A major PITA.

Here in SOCAL, we've been having 80s and 90s. Didn't really have a winter this year; all the jackets stayed in the closet.
You can get around the Nav nannies by getting a bypass installed. Look up beat sonic or prestigious society.

I checked out their website...but they do not seem to have any for a 2015 ES300h. I guess the updated Nav did something....
