is 350 or is350 F kit
Hello it's me😂
After searching for the most reliable 4 door sports car i found the is350
So im planning to buy either an is350 or the is 350 F kit
Some people have told me that there is no difference except for the body kit and the sexy gauges . My concern is that is ther any difference in the handling ??

Luxury option isn't available on F-sport, so for example leather seats, memory seats plus other items aren't available on the F-sport version. I suggest you download the IS brochure to get the full picture.
On the other hand F-sport has stiffer suspension and so called adaptive-suspension. There was plenty of sportiness for me in the normal IS 350 when I test drove it (I test drove F-sport too) so I chose the IS 350 (plus the luxury option was very important to me), your mileage may vary. There are also some cosmetic differences and certain color schemes are reserved for F-sport only.
Be an informed customer - at least know what you are getting or what you could be getting. We had folks here who brought an IS home and didn't know the seats weren't leather nor the seats had memory and complained the dealer really didn't explain all the options..

The F-Sport comes with Nuluxe (fake leather), thats the only option you can get. It has a soft touch to it, and it would "probably" last longer than real leather. Also, has the more aggressive front bumper and F-sport rims.
F-Sport has very limited "luxury" options, but I'm okay with not having memory seats, telescoping steering wheels, heated steering, and some others. I'm only 22, and these options were meehh.

what problems?
mine has been fine since i got it and I dont even think twice about the fact that it really isn't leather. it feels just as nice IMO. I got complaints about the car, but the NuLuxe definitely isn't one of them! and at the end of the day, all my complaints are about non essential things (navigation system), this car is in general is awesome.

I felt Nuluxe at the dealer and it felt like "chemical" product. Plus it felt very thin. I didn't like neither the feel of it nor the smell (my wife was even more against it). Plus I appreciate how natural leather gains patina and weathered look.
