Default your favorite little 'feature'

having had the car almost a year now, i just wanted to see what 1 or 2 little things people really appreciate about their F....

for me its that the windows roll ALL the way down in the back and the fact that it takes 5w-30 oil, which you can grab pretty much anywhere oil is sold. love it!

If u r talking about things that came from the factory...other than the all the performance items that have been well documented, I would have to say one of my favorite things is the "F" that comes up in the dash when you put it in manual mode:

I love having the ability to leave my keys in my pocket and just touching the door handle to unlock the car and use the push button start. I also like how the side mirrors fold down when you put it in reverse.

The fact that I have owned 2 of these cars and not once did they ever have to go into shop for repair. Still have nightmares about my wife's Audi A4 she used to have

For me, it's gotta be the memory seats, steering wheel and Mirrors. I first had them on my Lexus SC300 5MT Coupe. My next G35 Coupe didn't have them, and I really missed 'em. As I recall, my SC also rolled the seat back when the ignition was turned off as well as raising the wheel. But, of me, it's a must have.

Oh, fig I mention I also luv the power

Mirror tilt in reverse, steering wheel and mirrors included in memory seat, passenger memory seat, moving steering wheel on entrance and exit, auto dimming mirrors, holding up shift paddle in auto mode after selecting a lower gear (making it manual) to return it from manual to auto, adaptive cruise control...

I could go on.

1) The steering wheel automatically moves out of the way and back into regular position when turning off car
2) Mirror tilt
3) parking sensors help me park in my garage & tight spaces
4) Puddle lights light up when you get in proximity of car
5) touch to unlock feature still impresses people to this day.....esp the ladies
6) Courtesy lights by your feet are a great addition to the luxury

I like the touchscreen but my major gripe is the navigation feature itself......it SUCKS!

1. I like the dual stage intake. I am addicted to the sound and find myself constantly accelerating to get past 3600 rpm just to hear it.

2. I also dig the F that pops up on the dash in manual mode.

3. I love the stance it has ( even stock )

Other than performance there is nothing the ISF has that can surpass the features of my LS460 ( other than the nav) I had before this, so I pretty much all about the performance when I drool over the car.

i also love this feature, and bluetooth audio has to be a favorite feature for me. ALSO how comfortable this car is and the great gas it gets on road trips.

I love all of the mirrors, how the car lights up upon approach, the adaptive front headlights, the small light shining on the center console at night, and the quad tips
