I agree completely. I was dead set on not 'wasting' my money on navigation in any new car, but now that I have it I'm never buying another that that doesn't have it. Speed limits, traffic reports, route guidance and especially the accuracy are FAR better than my phone's GPS + Google Maps.

This sounds so contradictory to what you ended up buying... how did it suit you well but practically was missing over 50% of what you wanted? 
Agree with other poster that you should get rid of your unhappy car now... if you are unhappy with a car should just trade it in or sell it!!
My analogy to these situations of buyers remorse is like having a 1 night stand with an ugly chic, getting married overnight in Vegas cuz you were drunk off your a**, and waking up the next morning saying WTF?! No use in keeping something that doesn't make you happy, right?
If you don't like it, get out now!!! hahah LOL

I know it sounds ridiculous right? At the time I saw the rims grille and lfa inspired gauges and those are what sucked me in I forgot I wanted a more luxurious care..I'm an idiot and it's killing me!!!! That car is nice but the multimedia system in a non nav is junk !!!! I dunno man :;(

Anyone out there purchase a new is250 f-sport? I did with no navigation and I fully regret it.. After 2 weeks of using the multimedia interface I'm over it...in over having the cup holders in my way while I'm trying to use the crappy **** to go back to a song that was playing already to see what the next 5 songs are on my play list.
I regret getting an is in general as I'm 6'1 250 and barely fit in the damn bucket seats. I should've stuck with my guy and either got luxury is250 or just stayed with a bigger car (GS 250) I came from a chrysler 300 hemi which regardless is nice but I'm just over the is250 already...
Lfa inspired gauges are boring after 2 hours of hitting the menu button on the steering wheel.. I'm over the small console as well..
Kk enough venting I can keep going on and on but I hope the people who are trying to decide on an is luxury vs is f-sport pick luxury and I hope the people who are trying to decide on a GS 250 vs is250 will make the right decision because you don't want to be like me and sit in a 40,000 car that you really don't even enjoy :/
By the way did I mention the speakers sound awful as well? ;( sorry yall not trying to hate on the is250 it's a beautiful car...just not meant for everybody that's all!

2014 IS f sport vs 2013 GS f sport
In January of this year, I traded my 08 IS 350 in on a new GS 350 f sport. I loved the IS , except for the hard ride. I like a good handling and sporty car. I am use to a small car and unfortunately the GS has become a very big car and the handling has suffered, as it has a lot of oversteer on tight corners. The electronics and smooth ride are great , but the car is sluggish on performance and handling. As a result, I have ordered a 2014 IS 350 f sport, which is supposed to arrive sometime in December of this year. I test drove the new f sports, IS 250 and 350 and I agree,
the IS 250 is severely lacking in performance and the car was not enjoyable to drive. For those of you that are looking for a big luxury car, then a new GS would be a good fit. The new GS is as big as some of the older LS cars. sportpop
