For "Auto-volume", which car offers auto-volume? just make it a habit of lowering the volume everytime you park your car. which is my habit 
If you unlock your car, and didnt open any doors, it will lock itself. a car shouldnt lock itself when you leave the car. dont think many cars do. Imagine, you leaving your car to pump gas and it locks. god dangit right?

computer, sensor, key fob, three things which would have made this happen if lexus wasn't so idiotic about the build.. small little details like this should have been focused on. you have all the components now just enter a programming code "if no sensor detected, in x seconds, lock door." boom baby done.

I don't think it's a big deal though, like come on guys, the folding mirror are a dead giveaway!
Maybe still in the honey moon period but I always look back at the car at least once when walking away =\

The lack of an auto lock “feature” is most likely a liability issue – surprised some autos do this as some posters have stated – if kids or people are in the car when it auto locks and can’t get out the manufacturer is liable if something terrible happens, if you lock the vehicle and this happens, you are liable – because YOU locked the vehicle. You may have heard of babies, young kids or elderly folks dying or getting hurt in vehicles left out in the heat or cold. It’s a shame but often times the litigious tendencies of the few trump the logical wants and needs of the masses.

Hi Rconmymind,
Did you ever find out what was causing the white noise, that shhhhhhh noise? I have the exact same problem on my 2016 IS and can't figure it out.

Anyone notice a "white noise" in the cabin of the vert? Like a shhhhh noise. I didn't want to make a new thread over it. Sitting there on a crisp cold morning I noticed it today. I pressed the fan to off. Didn't help. Hit the radio and made sure that was off too. Still there. I covered the vents thinking the engine noise is coming through there but that doesn't help. Acoustically in the entire cabin and omni directional. Also if you lean forward onto the steering wheel you'll definitely hear a higher pitch. It's certainly on my hit list to eliminate.
Thanks for reading.

I am getting 11.6mpg in my first 2 weeks of owning the 2016 is350awd f sport. Is that normal? (I've only driven city so far)
I haven't been too aggressive with car except a few times.

I found out what my noise from the vents was, turns out its the fan when ONLY set to window and feet area. I changed it to other settings and the swoosh noise was gone. Not sure what is causing it. gotta bring it back to the dealership when I have some time.

I don't think that's normal. I average about 23 mpg. In the city I'm getting 20 mpg on average. If I drive it harder I get around 17 mpg.

Remote start
First i have to say, this 2014 is 350 AWD, is the most fun vehicle I have ever driven. My only complaits are:- No remote start. This is unexeptable. How could Lexus not pick up on this? Hopefully an aftermarket remote start will show up eventually.
- There is a lot of road noise. It probably is due to the low profile tires. My Cadillac CTS was just as noisy.
- The navigation is not worth the extra money. I find it very low grade compared to most. Better off just buying a cheap Garmin and sticking it to you windshield.
Other than that, this car is awesome. Drives and handles great. It will be interesting to see how it handles a Canadian winter.

When I first got my car I was getting 12 litre per 100km but after about 1500 km or after my first month inspection I am getting 15 litres per 100km. Not sure what happened.

Most cars that don't have stops on the volume **** featured this. My 2010 Camaro had it. My 2005 350 Z had it. It's a great feature, and a legitimate complaint.
Um, no... the car detects the key. It knows when it's inside. My fiance's Jetta will lock the door in 30 seconds if it doesn't detect the key.
We have the technology for this stuff... it just seems to be an oversight.

'15 Fsport Awd here.
- Heated seats don't work as well
- Windshield seems to be of very low quality, easily cracks. I've talked to some other local owners and they all have experienced the same issue.
- slight vibration on idle.

That's weird. You are saying your car is consuming more gas as it gets older? Which mode do you drive the car in?

I just remembered it also started when I put on my Winters, so maybe the winter tires is causing me to lose 50km's.
