Loves: stitching in the leather interior, grey powder coated rims, comfortable seats, overall looks I get when driving it!

Hates: no sunglass holder, very limited space in car, side door pockets are also narrow (can't find a place for my sunglass case), no way to mute nav when on a call, no easy way to end nav (is there?)

Love the aggressive stance and style of the car. Wish the exhaust note was louder.

oh..some more loves: love the push to start (Never had that before). It's great leaving my keys in my pocket and just holding the door handle to get in.

some more hates: the Homelink remote for my garage door opener has VERY limited range. It works perfectly when I'm IN the garage..but when I'm outside, I have to be almost in the garage door for it to close...

anyone know a way to extend range of the garage remote?

Can't stand the plain headlights. Should have made them the 3 L LED ones.

It could be a weak signal from your garage opener also. With my old opener, I had to like 35 feet away to open the door with the homelink. We got a new opener and both cars we have open the door from the street, about 150 ft. away. Both cars are 2014 Lexus's IS and ES.

The range on my Homelink is excellent, and it works better than the ones in my RX and my SC. The problems experienced by NYLawyr are either a bad unit in the car or an unusual configuration in his garage. By the way, my son-in-law just bought a Porsche Panamara (the kids are doing well), and he said that to configure his built-in openers the remote had to be held in front of the car, not inside the car near the buttons. This leads me to suspect that the signals in the Porsche are sent from the very front of the car, and not from inside the car. This would surely increase the effective range considerably.

The headlights are ugly.. Need that LED thooo hah.
I wish the turn signals are with the led swoosh..
I don't like how the sunroof open looks like the car is ready to land like a plane...

RC roof is small, it wont be able to retract inside. Not only that if it retracts inside that subtracts headroom which theres not a lot of in the backseat. Just another reason not to get a moonroof. I wouldnt get a moonroof in an RC

It's a coupe, and the roof is curved, so the sunroof (moonroof?) cannot retract internally as it does on an SUV or a large sedan. Even if it looks strange from the outside of the car when open, I still like the roof because: (1) it can be nice to open up the car in certain weather, (2) I can't see it from the outside when I'm driving; (3) even when closed, the glass panel opens up the interior considerably. Being in a room with a big window is more inviting and comfortable than being in a room with no windows. I have seldom closed the interior shade on any of my moonroof cars. Also, at this point, what's an extra thou?
As for the turn signals, I will have to go down to the garage some day and see what flashes, but this is not a deal-breaker.

I looked at my turn signals (RC350 - not F-Sport or F): the turn signal is not in the swoosh daytime lights on my car. The signal is an amber bulb located between the two headlamp lights in the light cluster, an amber stripe on the outside mirror and a rectangular amber lamp nestled in the corner of the rear lamp assembly. Perhaps a different kind of headlight might be different, but that's whats on my car. I do have the fog light option, but as far as I can recall, I have "standard" headlights.

That would be my guess. My headlight assembly has two headlights and one amber turn signal in it. With regular headlights, one of the two is lit, as are the fog lights (when that switch is set to "on"). With high beams, both headlights are lit, and the fog lights go out. Both settings look pretty bright to me, especially with the extra light being projected low from the fog lamps.

Hmm confusing. The non premium headlight equipped cars seem to have both indicators, but use the incandescent ones in the actual headlight... I think. The LEDs in the DRL are definitely there, unless they're dummy LEDs.
