I really miss my side mirrors pointing down when I put it in reverse.

I was going to say the same. The only car that I've driven (I didn't even own it) that had the side mirrors tilt downwards in reverse was a BMW and it's such a good idea. I wish more manufacturers did it. I also wish our drivers seats had position memory--or at least my 2013 ST3 doesn't. I don't have many other people drive my car but if someone does, they always move the seat and it pisses me off.

Auto dimming rear view mirror. Heated mirrors too, but that's an ST1 fail lol.

I have a Lexus IS with all the usual extras (tilt down/heated mirrors, memory seats, heated/ventilated seats, Homelink, etc.) Frankly I don't miss any of this stuff on the ST as I'm the only driver of the vehicle and I just don't need the additional luxuries. The ST is fun performance car, no sense larding it up with costly knick knacks.

Power and rwd. The ST doesn't have much of one and none of the other.

But I still have my old vehicle so I can take care of my need for power sliding. ~360/~430 to the wheels is fun

The ability to hold down the lock button on key fob and roll the windows down as far as I want and release it and they stop. I know its a feature that can be added to the car via a bunch of fooling around and flashing etc, I've read the thread in the Electronics forum but the fact that it doesn't come stock that way is annoying. Also I believe the way it works on our cars even after you've enabled it is that it just automatically rolls the windows all the way down which still isn't quite what I want, I liked being able to roll the windows down about halfway as I walked up to my car.

I've enabled mine, you can hold the unlock to roll them down and press the lock to stop them whenever you want. Or vice versa for going up.

I point my passenger side mirror down manually when I'm setting up to parallel park.

The first time I got in a car that did that I thought something was wrong. Then I leaned it was a "feature."

I feel like I'm the only one that can't stand that "feature." I use my mirrors when I back up..

My MINI had a sun visor over the driver's door that folded down to block the sun from the side without having to move the visor over the windshield to the side. I miss that.
