echo that. hot, humid summers in ATL are not easy on the backside with leather seats.

I would have to agree on the ventilated seats and/or rain sensing wipers

I didn't like the radar cruise so I didn't get it on my IS. I had it on my FX35, but I found it useless to me. Whenever you are going around a curve on the highway and there is a truck going the opposite direction, the cruise will slow down thinking that the truck is right infront of you.

Aside from that, the laser cruise in the FX35 also set off my valentine 1 all the time. With that in mind, I wouldn't get any dynamic cruise again. I didn't really use it much anyways

Lexus must have fixed the bugs. It doesn't even get confused by metal or concrete guard rails on a curve.

There are going to be those that say they never use cruise control, expensive, etc, etc. But this is NOT like the old-school cruise. You basically set it and forget it. Cars pull in and and out in front of you, it brakes and speeds up automatically. It just locks in on the vehicle in front and stays a fixed distance (actually time interval) behind. I rarely used cruise before, but with the DRCC you can actually use cruise in relatively heavy traffic.

I only post this as information for those that are interested, please keep negative comments to yourselves. Thanks.
how much did you pay with tax?
