I love the dual personalities this car has. It's designed like a comic book super hero. From mild mannered, quiet and unknowing to a muscle bound no bull***** super hero the second duty calls.

If I soften up the dampers and drive easy it get's almost as quite as a hybird at times and has that Lexus luxury feel. Then when you put it in sport mode, drop a few gears and hit the gas it turns in to the Hulk.

I just tried it. You have to have the gear position indicator toggled up. Which makes sense because you don't need 2 indicators of your gears

here you go... now that empty spot where the rear tail fog light is now filled and used as a regular light.

I did this for my wife's is350 as well...

You can outside of North America. The attorneys have made sure our version is lame.

I had the easy exit on my G's and found it a great option.
The Great things. The power and reliability are the top of my list.
For your mirrors, make sure that the switch (to select either the right or left for positioning) is NOT in the middle/neutral position. I believe you have to have it on either the left or right in order for this function/feature to work. As for the touch feature on your doors keep an eye on the thread below, sounds like your not alone...

I'm like most of you, there are so many features that I love its almost hard to pick just one. Think that's one of the biggest reasons I/we love ours cars so much, bc they give us so many reasons too :-) That being said, all the lighting (on approach, in the footwell, armrest/cupholder, overhead, adaptive headlights, etc.), the memory seat/steering/mirror feature, the dual stage intake, putting the windows down via the FOB, the overall sick level of handling & performance these cars deliver... to name a few right - haha. I just noticed a few days ago the handle on the inside of the trunk which I'm assuming is there to assist you with closing without having to touch the paint (shrugs).?.?.?.? Either way I love using it now.


I didn't know about the trick to hold the up paddle to reengage auto-mode either. Think I'm gonna have to go "run a few errands" real quick to see this in action haha.

Just tested out the manual-to-auto change by holding the up paddle... pretty cool. I've honestly only ever forced a downshift while in auto once and it was on accident because admittedly I thought I was in manual haha and thought the only way to get it back to auto was to put it in manual and then back to auto real quick or wait til I came to a stop (which for those of you that didn't know will also re-engage full auto mode. Anyway, good to know and something else to add to the list :-)
