Temp and Range for me equally.

I don't really like the layout of the Gears display, it looks too simple.

Current MPG for me, occasionally switch to Outside temp. Anyone find it strange that there is no current inside temp? I know the climate control is supposed to show what temp it is trying to normalize to, but there is no current inside temp - right?

Inside temps are for race cars.

For commuter cars there is no need for it.

i wish the display was like the new ES350, it can show the outside temp AND current mpg or others.

I don't have a choice. Since my winter wheels are on w/o tpms sensors I get to stare at the warning message all the time.

Why? ,,,,,,,,, Because your gear position doesn't always match your gear selection ,,,,,, kind of important to know if you like to "flipper" shift a lot!

One of the nice improvements over the IS300's steering wheel shift setup.

I didn't know I'd be spending almost 60 dollars a week on gas until I filled up the gas a couple of times .

So now I flip on the ECT snow mode as often as I can, and monitor my current MPG almost obsessively .
