Default Microfiber seats 2013 IS250 F-Sport

I'm a woman considering upgrading to a F-sport 2013 from a sport package 2009. My concern is the microfiber insert seat design. I like everything on the F-sport except the seats. I like having ventilation and I personally do not like the look of the microfiber and the extra support sticking out on the shoulder area. I could understand the extra support on the ISF car, but a 250 just doesnt warrant that amount of support in my opinion.
Do any women have the F-Sport package seats and if so do you feel comfortable in the seats? I'm 5'4'' and have a short torso so I'm concerned the seats will feel like big fluffy dorm room furniture on longer drives. Thank you for the input ladies.

You like the look and the feel? I'm really attached to my 09 but want to take advantage of a little upgrade now because the incentives are amazing with the new body style coming out next month. Very nice car and wheels look great.

I'm a 6' 3" male. I have the F-Sport package. The seats really come in handy when you have the extra power, but even when you don't, the extra support helps while making sharp turns. Plus, the F-Sport suspension makes a big difference on handing. Coming from the Luxury package suspension on my previous 2006 IS 350. The seats are just as comfortable, if not more comfortable.

I'm male, but also 5'4" ... My friend has an F-Sport which I've ridden in ... and IMO, those F-Sport seats are perfect!

The seats hug you and are VERY supportive - definitely don't feel like big dorm room furniture!!

That's the point of the seats to hug you. Even though you won't have power it's better to have a supportive seat in my opinion

Give the car and the interior a chance; you might end up liking it after a while. I agree with you though, I love my vented leather seats!
