If your car had the option it would be right here. This is a right hand drive 2008 per the picture description.

Thanks. Sadly, car isn't on air so no sports mode. Gona have to give the pwr mode a shot and see how that goes. Any problems with daily driving with it on? Will have to monitor mpg also lol. Currently at 23mpg avg so can't complain

This is interesting. I don't notice any lag in mine in normal or even eco mode.

I'm curious if there is a software update to the ECU that addresses this prior to any third-market solution? Just seems weird that a simple ECU update isn't available that already addresses this? Maybe a solution might be as simple as asking Lexus if there is an ECU update that might address throttle response and the transmission.

Or alternatively, could a part be broken or malfunctioning?

I run my car in "PWR" mode when I drive in the city all the time.

I do not have any lag or hesitation issues either regardless of which mode I'm in, but I love how the car drives in PWR mode.

I have a customer that has it. Its a neat mod to make your throttle more sensitive. Or less sensitive in eco mode.
