Thanks Now at least I have a reason for the difference

Thanks Lexus could have told me this You are right, it does shift quicker Can I get the limiter changed to "one" rather than "four" then it should work as a "normal" manual in auto mode

Thanks I understand that the gear indicated on the dash on my car is a gear limiter however on the new 2015 IS250 it shows what gear you are in and you have to manually go up a gear in the new car whereas with mine it will automatically go up the gears until it hits the gear limiter All other cars I have driven are like the new 2015 IS250

I have a 2012 IS250C auto but drive it in the manual mode On my last service I drove the new 2015 IS250 in the manual mode and when you come to a stop it goes back to first automatically (like all other cars I have driven with the manual option with an auto) My car goes back to first when I come to a stop however the indicator on the dash says 4th gear and the car will go up to 4th without my shifting gears by itself I have asked Lexus in the last 2 services to change the "mapping" of the transmission so the "manual mode" is the same as the current IS250 however they say it is not possible Are they right Is there anything I can do
