I miss, I overshoot, I fail to move the cursor. It would be (and was) an absolute, 100% deal breaker for me. Without the touchscreen, I would not have bought this car. And after dealing with it as an owner, if they still had only the touchpad, on that basis alone I would not have bought this car. Just me, and I'm happy for those of you who've learned to deal with it since you had to, but off my limited experience thus far I wish they'd used the space for a change holder.

Lexus Escondido has best selection around here.
I added cheap 3" clip on d-rings to bottom of Trunk net. This allows for large bags between net and back wall and small bags in net.
Then I cut USB cover off ( I know I know) Now with short USB for music always inserted I can close cover.
Having a Panoramic camera I Had Dealer set back Window Screen to off. Will never auto lower in Reverse.
Lowered Tire Pressure to 30lb cold for best ride. I wanted 17" rims but dealer said not available on UL. He did give me $1500.00 off MSRP and $500.00 extra for trade-in so I'm good.
I will add 235/50/18 for higher sidewalls to improve ride when these are gone.
I plan for other small mods. Will update

So they circumvent a user-conceived solution by re-designing the lid, making it necessary to damage the part to get it to do what it should have done in the first place.
