I picked up my New car Saturday and have put over 300 miles driving all over the state all weekend! I will have a full review coming when I get back from work but wanted to say! WOW I love this car! It is everything you could ask for and then some!

A few quick notes about things I noticed that I wish were improved or are going to take me time to get adjusted to
- Brighter Dash Screen. Its good, but during bright sun its a little muted looking.
- Seat coolers in the F-Sport. Really miss those during the hot summer
- Turn Signals and wipers hard to get used to using. (They dont actually move down or up into a notch to make it feel like you hit it right, they just move up or down and you have to look to see if you activated them or not)

I was told yesterday that the absence of seat coolers was not a cost issue but an issue with the way the seats are designed. Either leading overall comfort or less overall comfort and cool butts I guess.

My IS came with Nuluxe leather and seat coolers and I really like this feature. The blower noise at max setting seems a bit intrusive especially if I'm not playing any music but this is probably something I will just need to get used to.
A minor nitpick is the cup holder position as its too far back. Also, I wish there was a small slot wherein I can put some loose change.

For perspective -- my Genesis had wonderful butt coolers and an air conditioner that couldn't keep the car cool above 90 degrees. One of several reasons I'm driving a Lexus today even without the coolers.
