Would rather see the temp. ANyone now of a way to keep track off but get display to stay on Temp???
now that's a stupid place for the warning message. sounds like the same lawyers who recommended locking out the NAV recommended putting the warning message there so people would leave the traction control on.

ok maybe i can't read. seems that in 10 they gave the ability to turn trac on and off. are we all confirming thatiI can hold a button on an 08 and trac is off till i start again? i see little difference as i research between a 10 and an 08 RWD Sport besides the trac on/off ability. let me know folks. did i miss any other basic differences between 08/09 and 10's. i can buy a dynamite 08 with lo miles and save 6k over a 10 or 11. why blow money when I can get the age discount? i can't have a car with TRAC enabled when it snows. the minute you spin wheels the car stops power to the wheels and buh bye you go. stupid, get's people hurt and gets cars stuck. i programmed it out of my Saab after getting stuck when the motor shut down due to wheel spin. i know how to drive a RWD in snow, slick and especially dry. don't need a stupid car to tell me how.

only 06 need to do the stupid pedal dance... any rwd IS from 07+ u just hold the TRAC button until t/c and stability light comes on then it is completely off until you restart your car.. if you are a 06 owner u can also swap for a 07+ t/c computer so you don't have to do the stupid pedal dance...

I have a 2010 IS250 AWD. When I drive with traction disabled. The steering feel gets stiffer than when the ECT PWR is on.
