Default Is Lexus enform worth the re-up?

Well my free year subscription is up and had a salesperson call me this morning for a re-up. I heard it had a bunch of goodies that go with it like a theft locator? What do you guys think.

I'm a guy that went from a 2004 STi with no stereo to an ISF out of the blue. All I wanted was V8, RWD and reliability. Do you think I've read the manual?!

You simply cannot fathom what I'm willing to put up with.

Lexus Enform wasn't available for the 2008-09 models. From 2010+ owners that I've met with, they did say it's one of those luxuries that they really didn't utilize. But it's better to have it with the free updates than not at all, I think.

The destination assist on the Lexus Enform is definitely useful but not worth paying the yearly fee. I used it to get them to send the location directly to the GPS if i'm feeling lazy to enter it manually.

Yes I've used it a few times but only the first time I used it was useful, the other times the destination assist peple where just hassle like if I know where it is why would I need GPS . Just took like 10 min for them to figure it out

I had the car for 3 months now, and I doubt I will renew it (if I even own the car until next year), Lexus needs to start doing something about their rattly interior and less about worthless features that nobody uses. I deleted all this Enform messages and can care less about them.

I read the manual 3 to 4 times since I spend a lot of times in planes/airports, and honestly after a while you just pick up stuff by using features and pressing buttons.

I agree Lexus kinda disappointing compared to other like Audi has some killer useful things love where u can take your sim out and put it in your car to get Wifi and Internet for your gps.
But I love the isf so I really don't care that's not one of the things that I was considering all tho would have been nice .
