I can't narrow it down to just one, but I'll keep it short:

Like: Interior design, ride quality, rear three-quarter view
Dislike: Lack of low-end torque, engine whine, feels bigger/heavier than I'm used to
Wish: I wish I could get a fully-loaded car. Why can't I get memory seats on an F-Sport? Dumb.

Like: Overall styling both exterior and interior

Dislike: The relatively soft paint/clearcoat (at least it polishes easily)

Wish: The doppler radar map could be zoomed into street view and that it could be set in motion. I'd like to take my IS storm chasing.

Just read this whole thread and it's striking how we are all in agreement as I keep reading the same things over and over again. I wish Lexus could read this thread when planning a mid model refresh.

Like: Handling

Dislike: Turning off the traction control hides all of the other data from the dash and disables cruise control. Very nannyish.

Wish: More power

LIKE: The Enform Apps // DISLIKE: Nav response can be slow // WISH: The car came standard with AFS (Adaptive Frontlighting System) DCL (Dynamic Curve Light) headlights. I know our light level while driving but I wish they turned Left to Right like my GTI did. That was beyond useful!

Oh, and I WISH there more STANDARD options. You'd think that a $45,000+ vehicle would come standard with Auto Wipers, Memory Seats, Dimming & Folding side mirrors. I also really wish the non-F Sport models would give us a digital speed read-out. Ok I'm done lol
