Default Favorite electronic feature in 4GS?

So I just got my F Sport with Starfire pearl / cab interior a week and a half ago. Coming from 3GS's before, I am LOVING this new car. We took a roadtrip the first weekend I had the it, and my favorite thing turned out to be using the voice recognition to set destinations while out of town. Was a huge help. I guess my 2010 GS probably could have done this but I never used the voice recognition as much. The 4GS seems to be much more effective at least. What are your favorite electronic features?

First off congrats on the starfire/Cabernet combo. Best looking combination IMHO. My favorite electronic feature is the ambient lighting. My first test drive was in the day, a week later I went down to order mine and test drove again for the fun of it and it was dark already. When I started the car the lights started to slowly come on and the analog clock lit up, I had to do a double take and make sure I didn't get into an LS F-Sport by mistake.

Thanks! I didn't even know about the light under the side trim until you mentioned it...finally saw it tonight. Very cool touch.

So wish list of items that I don't have: ML #1, DRS #2, HUD #3, and Radar Cruise #4.

Lol thats what I was trying to do but I"m gonna wait a couple years and get that the next time except for DRS as we can't get it here. The problem is they are only special order items, so the wait is longer.
