Cars.com test drive (plus Lexus's mpg "estimates")

Intermediate
Ventilated seats
I think that the ventilated seats do cool the seats and the LS isnt the only car that has that - my dad's es330 has the seat cooler and it definitely gets cool - feels very bizarre down below - if you know what i mean...

The review states the IS350 automatic working in manual mode does not hold the selected gear - it can change down to a lower than selected gear just like the IS300 e-shift.
Can someone who has driven the car verify if this Is true?

Good find. Now's compare "Lexus's estimates" to the official ratings posted at lexus.jp and lexus.ca, summarized in my previous post.
Canadian MPG figures after conversion vs. JP figures:
And here are the Lexus's EPA estimates:
So it's closer to lexus.jp's numbers which are quite a bit lower than the lexus.ca's numbers. Still class leading figures nonetheless.
