the interior in general. I always hear ppl say, its much better than the 3. and I have a very stock interior, no nav or anything else.

ppl love this car! and lets not get greedy, we are all fortunate to be driving such nice cars. Lots of ppl are trying to make ends meet, lets be grateful.

well for me... i would say the push button start. It is a cool feature if you really can call it a feature. Then secondly I would have to say the sequential shift, I still get excited about this feature. I just cant figure why it always start in fourth gear when I put it in 'S' driving mode.

I'd say either the smart key stuff like opening the doors and starting with no key or the speed. Not that the 350 is a rocket ship but i guess my friends just dont expect it to be as quick as it is.

I used to get damn this car rides like **** but that stopped after i swapped the H&Rs with my BCR coils. I dunno if it was just me but my car rode TERRIBLE with the H&Rs.

Lexus Enform - Destination Assistance is a huge Wow! My friends trip when I use it. They expect an automated service or something like voice recognition, but when a live person asks where I'd like to go and has restaurant suggestions, it is shocking to them. I can hardly believe it still.

The Power Rear Sunshade always gets a comment, especially in the summer when I use it the most.

The Sewell/Oracle interior LED kit also. It gives a very clean & bright look to the interior.

Back-up camera, illuminated sills, & blk on blk interior would be next.

Mmmm, zombie threads.

For me, the power rear sunshade and voice-recognition nav. "I'm hungry." And restaurants pop up. Also, holding down unlock on the keyfob and rolling the windows down and tilting my sunroof up remotely.

Ya this has wow'd most of my friends that have been in my car. Every time I've used it some chick with a cute voice helps me and that's the icing on the cake. But too bad it's like $250/yr to use it and other than showing it off, I've used it only once in the 4 months of my ownership.
