I found out that there is a little LED light under the center of the rearview mirror. You can see it clearly at night time, or put your finger underneath the rearview mirror and you can see it. It's not very bright, but I found it when I was adjusting my ornament hanging off the mirror!

My wife hates my driving--I bought my first luxury sports car before I met her and, well, I drive it like its built to be driven. A 2003 Acura CL S. With the 2015 GS 350 F-Sport, I can switch it to Economy mode when she is in the car. To me, it's sluggish. For her, it's perfect. So, "wife mode" it is.

I like the fact that I can adjust the default music sound settings (bass, treble, fader, etc.) based on source. That is, my settings are different for XM than for USB. My son likes to connect his iPod via the 3.5mm jack, that too has it's own sound settings (gotta be thumpin).

I don't know if it's the real reason, but I've long assumed it was painted a hideous color to motivate people to get it off their car as quickly as possible, rather than drive around with it for longer than they should.
Or Toyota/Lexus just had a lot of yellow paint sitting around...

After owning a IS350 for four years, it took me a month to discover that the NAV in the 2016 GS has a 3D mode... Complete with 3D buildings in certain locations!
I saw in the manual there was an option to adjust your view in this mode, but had no idea how to turn it on...

Not a hidden feature but awesome nonetheless:
Driving down the street when all of a sudden got this big splash of water on my windshield, (sprinkler I think) before I could even blink the automatic windshield wipers came on and in one fell swoosh eliminated said threat right from my vision...F yea

Agree with all the above, but I'll add in my pleasant surprises
One thing I dont see that I LOVE is getting into the car by just grabbing the door handles without needing to unlock it first! I set it up to unlock all doors too at the same time, allowing everyone to hop right in easily. Couldn't believe the dealer didn't even show me this!
Also just one touch to start the engine without even needing to hold down the button.. This car is so effortless to own and use!
The auto sensing windshield wipers work better than I could have imagined adjusting themselves based on amount of rain and speed of the car.
The Fuel Guide is great, listing out nearby gas stations and current prices, and you can click to navigate to your favorite brand (or cheapest price if so inclined).
Oh yeah, and the nifty grocery bag holder in the trunk, that one snuck up on me too!
The more I think about this car, the more little things really add up on this fine machine!!

Stumbled upon the one touch start engine by accident just a few days ago but you have just confirmed that it wasn't a fluke as I initially thought... Thank you! 😜

I I had the dealer find my wheel lock key in this same place... Had Lexus.com send new manual as well... Must check to see if manual is there now that you mention it... 👌

I think its awesome how you walk past the car with the key in your pocket and the puddle lights glow. It like she is calling you to drive her!! You figure I would be used to it by now since the GS is our 3rd Lexus but it still makes me smile when I walk past the GS in the garage and they light up, sorry girl, not now I have to go to work!!
