Last night I was on a winding, dark and wet highway in my is350. Usually on dark roads your supposed to dim the dash lights to make it easier to see the road ahead.
When I dimmed the dash lights all the way down, I realized that ALL lights in the cabin and dash shut off (with the exception of the "D" indicator and some climate LED's)!
Not only did this surprise me, but it made driving SOOO much easier. Most cars I've driven only allows you to dim all the lights.

Very cool feature!!

I like that in new years the auto window up slows down before completely closing, so there is no thump! this is very elegant and puts less strain on things (including a misplaced finger, which should auto down when pinched anyway).

Favorite is the electronic heating/cooling and adjustments of the seats. Didnt know it was so annoying to click in the seat adjustments in other cars and its not perfect. You can electronically adjust to the millimeter with the lexus seats. With manual seat adjustments, you can get close but not perfect.

I would have to say the vehicle stability control. We got had got on a bridge one time and the vehicle started to yaw. To top things off, there was an oncoming pickup truck as well. My wife was driving and I told her to steer. The car started to beep to let us know the VSC was kicking in and the car straighten up. At that point, the cost of the car justified itself.

I like many things. For a 2006 model it was ahead of its time with many features that are standard on new cars today:

--Direct fuel injection
--Electric power steering
--Back up cam
--Paddle shifters

And of course the 300 hp, sleek looks, and Toyota reliability!

Do all IS's have these features? I never noticed the side mirrors going downward when backing up, or headlights leveling.

Is it a upgrade option?

I love the 4.08 final drive ratio and the broad powerband of the 2GR-FSE as it makes the 2IS350 much faster than its stock horsepower would lead you to believe.

No, I believe the newer IS years have tilting mirrors (my 08 doesn't). The leveling headlights are only for Xenon (HID) headlights which is an upgrade option.

I think all IS have the side view mirror tilt. You probably have it turned off. When you adjust the mirror position, you have to press a button for the left or right side. If you leave this switch in the middle position, you cannot adjust either mirror and this middle position also turns the tilt function off. Position the switch for the left or right and the mirrors will tilt.
