I like on the 08 ISF there is a spot in the rear tail lights you can put a rear fog, OR what I did just wired two extra bulbs to light up that empty spot....

My favorites have to include the reverse mirror tilt, dual stage intake with its awakening around the 3k RPM range, the telescopic steering wheel, and memory seat/ mirror adjustment. It might be more of a performance-oriented vehicle, but nevertheless it still has subtle Lexus luxury features.

Good call...I always forget that my car has those...it is really cool to see it in action when going around a corner on a dark road!

i love -
The sound of the sunroof closing at speed, like an airlock sealing a spaceship
The tight turning radius, you can do a u-turn on a narrow street
How shift response is linked to performance, when you push it, it shifts in a micro-second

Hummm, my mirrors don't drop in reverse and I don't have the touch handle to unlock the doors.
My wife's rx350 (US version) has both those options. Including the easy exit where the seat rolls back when the ignition is turned off.
I had the easy exit on my G's and found it a great option.
The Great things. The power and reliability are the top of my list.

Automatic wipers. Love this feature because I've never had it before.

thats kinda odd, i thought these things were standard? i think the l/r door mirror switch has to be down on one of the sides for the mirrors to tilt down in R, i think.

I promise my 08 doesn't change to the F when I go manual mode. Only time the F comes on when I start it. What am I doing wrong?

After you switch to manual mode, you need to hit the DISP button on the steering wheel controls and keep pressing it to cycle it through until the F is displayed.

hmm, mine comes on as soon as i flip it over to manual, regardless of what display it was on before...i think maybe it has to be in sport too? not sure
