Features You Will Never Use

For me, I think I'll never find a use for the rear sun visor. It's cool how you can press the button and it goes up and down...but what is it really used for?

What other features do you find useless?

Same here.

I smoke once in a while, but never in my IS.

Can't let ash get in my perforated seats.

If only the in-panel box that replaces the ashtray wasn't so expensive

I agree about the rear sun visor, especially after I got my tints in. However, I find it handy when some fool in one of those lifted trucks comes behinds me with headlamps glaring straight into my rear view mirror. I don't use the second cupholder in the armrest (seriously, this car has the worst cupholder placements ever) nor do I use Trac Off or the DVD function of the ML system (a pity, really, but I'm usually driving by myself; I could see myself using it with passengers during a roadtrip or something)

I actually find voice command to be quite handy when I'm on the freeway and don't want to use the extra hand and eyes to type everything out.

I use the power sunshade everytime I park in the sun, and sometimes when driving.

i've never really justified the use of the interior cabin filter on the A/C controls.. i understand why it's there, i just dont know if it makes much of a difference.. do you guys leave it on all the time?
