Snow mode automatically cancels when you shut off the engine. You can't put it in snow mode without pushing the switch every time.

Wow, i know its OT, but I tried SNOW mode on my 250 yesterday (was bored while sitting in traffic) and wow does that make the IS feel like its a '87 AT corolla!!!
SNOW must stand for Slow NOW mode!

Snow mode can be dangerous if your not used to it, dont try to dart in an out of traffic, you could get rear ended.
As for the OP, if you switch it PWR mode, does it still feel slower? If the pwr mode feels slower than the 'first' car then it may not be a simple ECU reset. If it feels the same, then its the ECU.
Lets say snow =1, reset/new = 3 and pwr =5, my car is 2 right now and i like it this way.

r u kidding me. the driver can't deff tell a difference in power? so if you drove a 250 and a 350 u would know the difference? well thats what it feels like. and yes i have driven all of them! its very easy to feel the difference between a 5 second 0 to 60 and a 6 second 0 to 60.

you should've just stuck with adding an aftermarket navigation.. trade from a new IS to a used just because you wanted navigation??
was it the price that made you buy it w/o navigation in the first place?
