The one thing I found disappointing when I had my GS400 were the seat heaters. I could hardly tell that they were on and they only had one level. This is contrary to the seat heaters in the german cars which have several different levels of intensity. Are they effective in your IS300? Maybe they are less necessary simply because you're sitting on the section that isn't cold leather. A nice feature found in BMW's and Audis (S4 on up) are the Heated steering wheel. It's a nice feature on a brisk cold day.
Another nice feature is ventilated seats. My father has on his S500 sport. I thought it would be a gimmick, but it actually keeps you feeling refreshed. There are 10 miniature fans that ventilate your bottom and back. The same system is found on the Lexus LS430. It's a totally different principal from the climate controlled seats found in the Lincoln Navigator. One of my friends has a Navigator and the truck sucks (shhhh, don't tell him I said that), but the seats are neat and actually become cold as if you're sitting on a refrigerated seat. Technology these days...
