An unnoticeably cool feature
 

Hello all-

New Lexus owner here - just bought a 2011 RX350 Smokey Grey Mica. I have had a great time getting to know all the features of the RX...definitely some great stuff!

I have to say, one of my favorites is one that many people likely don't know exists/happens. I noticed today that when you turn off the car, the remote touch joystick automatically re-centers itself within the control area. Totally unnecessary, but incredible attention to detail!

Just another way the RX is just as classy off as it is running. :)

Welcome to CL and congrats on your new ride. I'm sure you'll find many other great "little things" with your Lexus as time goes on. Enjoy!

Welcome. I also recently purchased an RX and when I first found out that they joystick recentered itself I was extremely impressed. You said it best, great attention to detail. :)

It recenters NOT to impress the owner but so the electronics know where it is when the car is restarted. It's not done for you.

Kill Joy!!!

It also re-centers itself when you start the car

ya that was the first thing i noticed on my 1 of 15 test drives. its nice.

15 test drives? WOW !

Talk about being informed and smart buyer:)

I for one never noticed and if never mentioned, probably never would have.

Now if it would just automatically center itself in a parking space when my wife drives.
