door handle lights
i went through this whole thread and found some many interesting things!
either i missed it or no one has noticed or it was just so common but tonight i just realized there a light on the inside door handle space! i bet your headlights have to be on for these to go on as well
i thought it was pretty sweet

It was discussed earlier, but my biggest pet peeve is the lack of a dvr style hard drive for the radio. I had a Cadillac CTS coupe that had it and it would record up until an hour. With SAT radio, it would even index between songs, so I could hit the rewind button and it would go to the beginning of each previous song. I could even hit the pause button, turn the car off and it would still record for the hour. Great for when you're getting in and out of the car. So awesome.
This 15 min 'cache' for FM radio only is a joke...

Only F-sport models. It was mentioned in the 2014 IS brochure from Lexus Canada and I didn't pay the attention until I compare my non F Sport model with my friend'a F Sport IS. Technically it is a tilting function.

Mute?
I often have to dial into conference calls while driving in the morning and the lack of a 'mute' button on the steering wheel is a bit of an annoyance. I just got my 350 F Sport so I don't feel adept enough to be fiddling with the mouse while driving to hit mute. This is my first Lexus so not sure if this is normal?

Disappointed by:
-Backup camera lines not being dynamic. Hoping for a software update of some sort to make it possible, not likely.
-Thought all models had easy entry/exit
-Very minor gripe - cup holder placement

I don't know if this is a problem just in my no nav IS300h or it's normal even for nav version.
In the steering wheel controls, there's something wrong. Look the picture:
The UP arrow change to the next radio station (but that one is down in the list.)
And the DOWN arrow moves the cursor to the previous station (up in the list)...

However, it works as it should using SAT radio though

The traction control can be turned partially off while driving 4mph and completely off while driving 1mph.
For whatever reason, the cruise control can not be used either while you're in manual mode or while you have the traction control off...

Very cool.. Tested this yesterday. Good to see Lexus focusing on such minute details like this.. Even though they overlook things like a sunglass holder, memory seats and auto wipers *face palm*
