Not sure why some options on the IS are not available in some areas.
How do I go about seeing same on the Build Your Own site; what Zip Code should I put in? At least, I'd like to see how much these features are and whether or not they're available as stand alone options. There are ZERO cars with same in my area (New York)...

The $3 difference on a fill up is not worth the long term damage it will create by using 87.

What if trade it in every 3 years anyway? Or what if it's a lease? At that point you're putting 87 in and damaging someone else's car

The F-Sport does not come with dipping side mirrors. That being said, it's not an issue for me.

I have the curb side mirror adjusted so I can see down to the curb as well as the top of any vehicle that shows up in the mirror (the mirror is convex enough that you don't really need auto dipping). I can't see the rear wheel in relation to the curb but I can see the quarter panel in relation to the curb and my brain can easily figure out where the wheel is from there. If I have the presence of mind next time I'm at a curb, I'll snap a picture of the mirror.

Thank you my good man.

Just don't see why they needed to leave off such a useful feature on a 2014 luxury car!?

You need to enter your zip code to see what options are available to you to order.

Does anyone know how much they are?

Thanks again!
I think the Mark Levinson with Navigation is $3,225 and the rear sunshade is $200.

I don't have the paperwork in front of me, but I'm ordering both.

I really wanted to order the heated steering wheel but it can't be added to rear wheel drive orders like mine. It's only available to all wheel drive orders.

I agree. I would have paid good money for rain sensing wipers on the F-Sport, too.

I didn't see heated steering wheel option on AWD F Sport on Lexus.com for my area. It didn't even have power tilt which was available on RWD F Sport in my area. Some of these are just crazy and stupid. What rationale makes power tilt available in RWD but not in AWD in same area?

Wow, Lexus owners not wanting to pay an extra $3 a week on gas?

Why by an a 300hp car just to let put 87 on it so the ECU can then say, oh cheap gas, let's lower the HP and adjust the timing. And make it run like a IS250. LOL
