Yes, the F Sport is NuLuxe only (in the US).

I have the non F Sport, where you get the choice between NuLuxe or leather, but have the NuLuxe in mine.

Do you have heated seats?

If so, do they work well or not so well?

Thanks.

I do have both heated and ventilated seats. Both functions work wonderfully. I have to turn down the heaters or I roast!

This leads me to believe something about the construction of the F Sport seats may make the warmers less effective, as it seems that most people with the sub-optimal heating have the F Sport seats, or at least that is my impression.

Do your NuLuxe seats have that "foam injection process"?

My understanding is they only use that process for the F Sport seats, so I do not believe it was used on my seats.

Default Wishful Options

For Me:
1: Supercharger even with the low max boost of 7 ish
2: Heated Steering Wheel
3: Rear Seat Heat
4: Ventilated seats
5: ML Head Unit for video
6: Power Folding Mirrors
7: European Road Hazard Safety kit with reflective triangles. The tie down straps are there in the trunk, where's the kit (US)
8: Custom Factory Car Cover
9: Two Person Memory (seats, mirrors, settings, driving habits)
10: Powered Tilt and Telescopic steering wheel.

Like mentioned before they should include Luxury package with F-Sport.
I still love every option I have on my Nebula Grey/Rijoa Red F-sport plus the sml personal touch add-ons that make her my baby.

I'm just still outraged that in 2014-16, we can't get memory seats on an IS350 F-Sport, but my mom's old 2007 Base model MDX has them. WTF?!
My wife and I both drive the IS and she's about 7 inches shorter than me so it's always annoying having to adjust the seats back and forth haha.

Yup. The 2014 Accord EX-L I just came from had two memory seat settings based on which key fob you are carrying. I was surprised when I paid almost 15K more for the IS350 and didn't get that option.


As for what more I want out of the IS:

Passenger side turn signal camera instead of the lane monitoring system.

Sunglasses holder

Charging pad for the cell phone

Storage area big enough for a cell phone that has easy access

Deeper/better cup holders

Memory seats

Manual transmission
