Got one late last year and love it. Nice choice and like others have said, you won’t see many about at all.
Few things i didn’t realise until i was told.
1. When the gear shift is in auto and you down shift for paddle use, hold the right paddle and it returns to auto mode.
2. Reversing camera has 2 modes. Parallel parking and reverse parking like in car parks.
3. You can’t automatically transfer contacts from a phone to the system.
4. The most up to date nav disc allows you to use the nav while driving, the 2008 disc does not.
5. There is a button under the accelerator pedal that when depressed shifts down an additional gear so you can go even faster!
6. The trip for tank mileage automatically resets when you open the fuel cap.
7. There is no tyre pressure display, i thought there was.
You on the lexus OC?

Cheers for the info!
I knew about the accelerator button, but not most of the other points.
Lexus OC? Guessing owners club? - is it worth joining?
I joined clublexus.com, which seems good but very US centric.

There seem to have been a recent influx of active ISF owners on the forum. We had a blue water meet and 4 ISF's attended. There was randomly a fifth in the same car park! So considering there are very few in the country, that was quite cool.
A number of us are undertaking some mods as well which is fairly hard in the UK so maybe useful if you want to go down that route.
I am on the club lexus one as well but as you say it is all about what you can get and do in the USA. Some useful info though.

Of course if you strip all this electrical crap out of the car (lighten it), it would unleash the cars full potential and give it some decent performance.2. Reversing camera has 2 modes. Parallel parking and reverse parking like in car parks.

But I guess as a daily driver, its a lovely thing, just not raw enough for a weekend toy.
Sorry to rant, but the gadgets (motors mainly) numb the potential performance. Im bitter as I loved the M5 until I test drove it, 500hp and slower than a 340hp Scooby.
