I was cleaning it and it got dark on me. So most of the pics are intr. Which is my favorite part!
Options:
Navigation- one of the best factory Navs I have ever used.
Mark Levinson 16 speaker pkg. Voices on this system sound amazing.
park assist
heated and cool vented seats
Traction settings
adjustable sport suspension
Sport, power or economy driving modes.
Voice recognition for NAV, Climate, phone and radio.
HEPA air cleaning system. Theres a special button for this in the AC controls. It purifies the cabin air for 3 minutes. Great if you have allergies.
The car also came with a clear bra and a paint protection film on the mirrors and A pillars. Previous owner also had an I simple Ipod cable installed. Nice bonus for me. I’m currently averaging 27.3 MPG not bad as I’m not exactly driving it in a modest fashion.
I love my 968 for what it is & don't hate it for what it isn't!

Hopefully the <acronym title='previous owner'>PO</acronym> already did the pinion bearing, belts, front engine seals, timing chain pads, and water pump. Wait! You probably never have to do those, ever!!!
Looks great. Cooled seats. What a dream.... I love the idea of the adjustable suspension. How good is it? Enjoy!

The adjustable suspension is a nice feature. When all of the go fast buttons are activated, it's much faster then you might think. On a windy road it stiffins up and corners flat and fast. So far, I'm really enjoying it.

I haven't purchased a new car since 2007. Some of this technology is impressive... until it malfunctions. not sure i'll use all of it but the head lamp feature is on and I like it. i rarely use CC
Rain sensing wipers (You set it to auto and never touch it again. it will start, speed up and stop according to how much water is blocking visability)
Pivoting head lamps (On left turns the Left lamp pivots with the wheel and vise versa with the right also pivots up and down. GAWD I hope this never sticks in a non-central position).
Active Cruise control monitors the speed of the car in front of you and alerts you to a discrepancy in speed. If you continue to close in, it will slow down to match his speed until you switch lanes. Then it will resume your set speed.
Reverse camera
DVD player The center screen also plays DVDs. You load them in the glove box.
Full maintenance grid The main screen stores all your service records and keeps track of your service appointment's and regular scheduled maintenance which it can program in the calendar which can sync to you phone -NUTZ!. You can scroll through an icon based chart showing Tires, brakes, transmission fluid, oil, plugs, belts, hoses, AC, etc. This may update itself as Lexus is using Lexus inform to communicate with its cars like onstar.
All intr lights are LED. When the doors open, a soft blue light illuminates the floor space -front and back. Sounds silly until you need something from the floor. My wife goes into her purse and comments "these lights are nice". You drop something on the floor and can see it. it's also non intrusive to the driver as it doesn't create a glare on the window as map lights do.
I love my 968 for what it is & don't hate it for what it isn't!

I'm wasn't hearing gear changes when needed so I don't think he was fully committed to the race. But it does show the thrust this car has when put into sport mode. At the bikes launch, it pulled ahead a few car lengths, but the Lex kept a good pace. And the Lex doenst change gears, Very smooth and quick pull past 100.
