What feature do you love the most.

[PAISLEY1903]

Just experienced the use of the auto dim full beam lights last night which I loved on my trip from Paisley to Newton Stewart on that road..  Got me wondering what everyone else feels is the features you enjoy the most.  

The heated steering wheel I used once and really enjoyed it - probably because it was the first ever time had used a feature like that in car.

Compared to my 4.4 it is great to have one-shot windows (for all windows) with illuminated switches. A feature I use every day.

The grunt is handy but not something used everyday - so the windows win (can't believe I said that being a committed Apple user - detest Windoze!). 😂

Yeah used the auto dim for first time on Friday travelling from Islay to Paisley and thought it was very good.  Also like the self open and closing boot. What I find annoying is the rocker switch for door mirrors which is easy to move by mistake but that’s just a minor thing.

Most useful is the reversing camera, because I use it every day. Very few of the other toys get used so often, in fact some are a pain in the —-

Hi.....yep camera gets a plus from me, slide into my space every day in silence.

Like the self tuck in feature of those huge wing mirrors.

More likes, Auto. handbrake, one-shot windows, induction mat for mobile phone charging. 

Not techy but a nice touch, the cubby behind the rear view mirror for sun specs.

(Discovered on my previous RAV but only after 2 years)

No likes, loss of the storage hammock net behind the rear seat & memory on the powered drivers seat.

Used the auto dip once or twice, found it a bit of a faff and not as good as doing it myself so never used again. On a dark road at speed I want to know the moment I am going to lose highbeam, not at some moment the car decides so I can be ready.

For me it has to be lane keep and radar cruise together. Mine has done 55,000 from new so far and I would estimate at least half of that has been done with these tools on.  Also the LED headlights, once adjusted up from the dealers/Toyota's over zealous downward setting, are magnificent. The electric heater along the bottom of the windscreen is great as this is where you get most mist and it helps clear lower half of screen quickly.

I also love all the space under the boot floor, I have full spare, tow rope, jack, compressor, hiviz jacket, emergency water bottles, triangle, fire extinguisher, first aid, jump leads (no good on RAV, but to lend to someone in need), bit of tarpaulin (if you ever need to change wheel on dirty road side!), picnic blanket, a few other bits and still the boot floor sits flat to take all my work gear. 

Things I could do without, headlight auto dip (sorry!), self dipping rear view mirror, I automatically switch it off as it obscures too much inmho. The instrument cluster changing to tell me I adjusted something like the volume or temperature - I know! I am pressing the !Removed! button!

The memory seats come high on the list - I bought an Excel because it had memory seats. And it came with a heated steering wheel which I though would be a bit 'naf' until last winter and now I'd be reluctant to give it up. But THE thing that I appreciate most and use every single day is the Panoramic View Monitor (PVM) ... 🙂

Autodip - yes in principle very useful. But compared to my previous Kodiaq I'm a bit disappointed that it's not as effective and dimming quickly when there's oncoming traffic - I've been flashed a few times by people who've had my full beams in their face.
And the switch to activate/deactivate it - really unhelpful place to put it!

My favourite feature - Head up display - so useful being able to see your speed without having to take your eyes off the road. Would love that it would integrate the android auto directions (which are integrated into the speedo-display) in the same way that the built-in sat-navs directions are integrated.

My favourite feature is the way it handles corners.  Just doesn't roll.

Try harder 🤣🤣

There are lots of things that have already been mentioned that I can instantly agree with but for me and this about the PHEV is the smoothness and torque of the car in EV mode, it’s still good as an HEV, just a joy to drive.
