Agree. I came from a non-F-Sport CT as well and the ride is smoother and quieter on the IS F-Sport. Bumps are soaked up a little better too despite the 40 and 35-series tires and firmer F-Sport suspension. Part of this improvement I feel is attributable to the much longer (8 inch more) wheelbase on the IS.

Also If you order the IS without memory seats, you also loose the ability to tilt the mirrors in reverse.
Agree on the footrest.
Unfortunately, The tilt-down mirrors tied to the memory seats combo is how Lexus packages this and is the same across the CT, IS, and ES. GS and up have this as standard. It's so convenient on the current and past RX's I've had (all had Memory Seats) so you see and don't hit the curb.

I feel yours and many others' pain. You need to petition for this color. Wednesday has something setup on Facebook.

Nothing to do with the car, but I found in the glove box 2 Lexus F key gloves. Did everyone get a pair of these? Had my car for two weeks and I just found them hiding. lol.

I wish I knew they came with the car, otherwise I wouldn't have bought a pair. Guess it wouldn't hurt to have an extra set.

Saw the f-sport and the luxury beside eachother today. Never noticed that the luxury has different fog lights than the f-sport.

No matter what Source I choose mine doesn't look like this. It always just has a random sampling of FM and AM station. Did you actually go through and add 36 SiriusXM stations to your favorites?

By the way, if anybody knows on this screen how to go from channel 2 to channel 3 without going through a stack of menus I'd appreciate it. Right now the different channel/tuning buttons will only change favorites, not channels. The only other option is to bring up the full channel list, and then choose All from the Type, and then finally go up one station. Which is obviously silly.

Yes, you add them along with HD -- then you got it made.

When I receive an incoming call, I don't like the picture of the cellphone that Lexus chose on the navigation screen. It definitely isn't a smartphone. It looks like a Rumor or a phone from the early 2000s lol

When I took delivery both keys were in the key gloves. My key never leaves my handbag, so to me it doesn't matter how it looks. Also helps protect/preserve the key "just in case".

The UK has this "Cool Box" accessory option. It is something I would definitely buy if available in the U.S.: http://www.lexus.co.uk/car-models/is...x#/Accessories
