For all you happy 350 owners... sorry if this has been discussed before but I haven't found it on the board. My ES is on order and I don't recall from my test drive.

Does the ES350 have illuminated door sills?
Does the steering wheel move out of your way when you shut the car off?

Scott-

I'm not sure about the door sills, but there is a light that turns on in the foot well whenever the doors are opened.

And yes, the steering wheel moves up and in ... away from the driver whenever the car is turned off. When it's turned back on , the wheel telescopes and tilts back to its memory position set by the driver.

Thanks Tony. I was just wondering about the sill, I know on the RX350 it illuminates, not a big deal though.

The bottoms of the rearview mirrors have lamps built in that illuminate the ground when you approach the car, if you have the key sensor in your pocket. They call these lamps, "puddle lights". Another nice touch.

No lights on the door sills like the RX350.

What about the use of LED lighting? Where can LED lighting be found? Interior? Door handles? Puddle lamps? I saw one the other day I think that had LED lighting on the license plate area.

I know at least the overhead interior lights for the driver and passenger are LED.
