Default ES350 features I miss having on the RX350

Realtime readout of TPMS. So convenient to check tire pressure before starting out.

Touch sensitive rear door handles. Miss being able to lock the car from the rear doors.

Intermittent turn-signals. Have gotten so used to the three flashes for lane changes. The dealer can also change the settings for more flashes.

Although the RX is the wife's car, I find myself automatically trying to use these features when I drive it.

I believe the intermittent came in the 2015 model. I agree on the rear door especially since there is a greater chance that there will be car seats in the rear of the RX. The tpms thing is a bummer considering the information is there to read. It just doesn't but the hybrid does. There is penny pinching even in a luxury brand.

Yeah, newer creature comforts in the ES since it is redesigned for MY 2013. The RX instead is from 2010. Expect all these features and more in the next gen RX.

Well you can use the lift gate/ trunk door to lock the RX.
There's a a rubbery dimple just below the Lexus logo that you can use to LOCK.
