What do you NOT like about your IS500?
#437
From what I understood the physical dimensions and the engineering involved would have been the issue. They were not going to spend too much on that on an end of life platform. It would have been nice to have but I'm ok with the 8 speed in this car. Part of me feels the 10 speed would have turned this car into an $85k GS F price point if they did it. $85k was too much for the GS F kind of like $100k is too much for an RC F Track Edition. It won't sell much at all.

For me, the #1 thing has to bee the annoying cabin temp adjuster sliders… really? Not intuitive at all. What’s wrong with a plain round **** Lexus? These are impossible to adjust without taking your eyes off the road.

I don't mind climate control. The red and and blue arrows are also buttons for minor adjustments.

that camera is basically for people that can't tell where the front of their car is when parking, you know those people that don't stop close to the stop line at a traffic light or the car in front of them and leaves like a mile of space in front them, that's what that camera is for which means it turns on when you are at slow slow speed.

AFAIK there are two different functions.
1) One function turns on the cameras any time you're slowing to a stop. I have this disabled in the car's settings.
2) Another function turns on the cameras only when you get close enough to something to trigger the parking alerts/beeps. Not sure if you can disable that - I find it useful (or, at least, not annoying) so I've never tried to kill it.

Ok I may catch some backlash for this because these "complaints" are VERY petty. Overall I see it as a positive that I have to go this far to find something to complain about. Here goes..
1. The front camera always turning on when I'm close to ANYTHING and sounding the alarm. (This complaint is common among this site)
2. I actually DON'T like the heated or cooled seats memory and returning to the same setting as when I turned the car off. (Often I'm getting to work when it's cold and it's hot when I leave and I forget to see the heated seats are still on from earlier)
3. The radio turning off when the engine is turned off. My other vehicle's radios stay on till you open the door.
4. I haven't used remote start yet but I've read that the engine stops when you open the door after remote start. This seems counter productive.
These are the things I've found thus far.. I've only had the 500 for a couple months and haven't driven it much. There may even be a way to adjust these complaints in the car's settings that I've not discovered yet.
All in all though, I really do love this car!! When I drive the IS500, listening to my playlist on that Mark Levinson, it's my therapy !!!
