1. The joystick that controls the NAV, et al. is a marvel of technological achievement. It took all of 5 minutes to master and after a day of using it, I can pretty much do the normal tasks without having to do more than glance at the screen.

2. The opened hatch reaches maximum height a couple of inches below my open garage door. No more worries about hitting the exposed metal of the garage door.

More to come...

 

1. Agility;
2. Fast, precise steering;
3. LED headlamps are powerful. Well worth the extra $$;
4. Leather smells like......leather: custom feel to it.
5. Higher than stated mileage: 47 in city; 46.2 on freeway. (providing dash pod info is accurate);
6. Steering wheel is a perfect size. Terrific "feel."

Not asked but here's a few negs:
1. Phone/iPod holder rattles when in place without weight of electronic device. I removed it;
2. Front passenger seat is manual. Sits low - no height adjustment:
3. Upgraded sound system quality is disappointing.
4. Interior lighting is sparse: lacks ambient lighting; all doors lack "puddle" lights. Interior door handles are not lit;
5. No rear ducts for A/C. No center armrest in rear.

 

Uses regular instead of premium gas!

 

Holy cow on the mileage!!!! I'm trying to just kiss the pedal with my foot and I haven't broken 40mph yet! . Hmmmmm.... I'll be curious what others get. Wonder if I got a lemon?

 

I LOVE the handling of this car.
I LOVE the seats in this car.
--I LOVE that "Vinyl" seats are standard!! (Call me Weird)
I LOVE the steering in this car.
This is the only "Sporty" Lexus whose chassis actually outpaces it's engine.
And with the exception of the LFA, I've driven every Lexus Model out there.
And as soon as we get the firsdt of two LFA's in, I'll have driven that one, too.

I LOVE this car. I can't wait til the F-sport stuff is available.

That's weird. I drive pretty crazy and I'm still getting 41-42.
