Default Another New IS Owner (350 F Sport)

After a long wait, I decided to pull the trigger on the new IS 350 F Sport. I am enjoying every second driving this car. So far I am missing some of the features which are only available to the luxury option:
1. Memory system (seat and mirror position)
2. Power steering wheel (I cannot find any IS 350 F sport with this around my area)
3. Parking sensors (park assist)
Other than that, I really have no complaints about my car.

Oh, one more thing, why can't they include a sunglasses holder and an extra 12V outlet!

Congrats.. Got the exact same combo two weeks ago. I'm surprised they didn't have power tilt telescope steering wheel option. I wish I had the parking sensors and the memory seats as well.

The fact that memory seats and parking distance control aren't even available as options on an F-Sport has been discussed on this forum - it makes NO sense whatsoever. Basically, it's not possible to get a "fully loaded" IS350.

If you opt for the luxury package, you get the memory seats, steering wheel, PDC, etc., but you miss out on the adaptive suspension that comes with the F-Sport. It's just not possible to have it all. Why does Lexus package the car like this? Odd.

Anyway, enjoy the new ride!

That makes more sense haha.

Yeah this white on red combo is the best of any car. Going to seal and wax the baby this weekend. Can't wait to see this white with proper wax on top.

Does ultra white have metal flake or pearl in it?
