Interesting Little Details Discoveries Thread (Good or Bad)
As an avid Lexus fan and owner, you think you know your car, but sometimes there are little surprises. Here's some little discoveries that are not always obvious or known in the brochures or out there, that might come in handy to the new potential owner.
1. Push-open fuel door, this is a first for all Toyota/Lexus cars I've owned versus the lever/remote button in the car.
2. Trunk floor mat. Yes, it came with one!
3. No sunglasses holder, even on non-sunroof models (mine).
Bought a visor clip.
4. Non-ML versions have a questionable grainy matte black plastic in the console.
5. IS250 F-Sport does not have S/S+ mode. Only "Sport" like all regular IS. There's been lots of back and forth about this. Pic says it all. S/S+ mode only for the 350 with Adaptive Variable Suspension (in owner's manual)

The interior lights and the puddle lights turn on when it's dark outside and the key (which probably is in your pocket) gets within 1m/3ft of the drivers door (haven't tried the passenger door).
The IS 300h F-Sport has the Sport/Sport+ mode.
When playing music from a USB memory stick, the songs are played in the order in which they appear on the file system. They are not sorted in any way.
No way to view the tire pressure on the IS 300h (I've checked, been through all settings and the drivers manual).

At night time, you will see two stripes of white light on the mouse -
The clip that mounts the usb cable can actually fit two wires instead of one -
Looking at the rims, I see that there are like a few metal tags on each, and I have no clue what they are -
And I hate that annoying gracenote crap -

No sunglass holder.
No Memory seats. (on my F-Sport)
My SanDisk flash drive that is normal size when inserted the center console will not close.
No satellite radio alerts (for favorite artist sor songs) like in my G37 (if there is, PLMK where please!!)

Yeah . . . . .piggy backing WhiteISWay, what exactly does requested mean? Don't think the carperted trunk mat is standard. So if you requested one and received it for free, kudos to you for asking, and kudos for your dealers customer service!

Curious to know if that's not the case in the US... (we also get the all-season rubber mats standard which I believe you don't)
