This would have made the IS 350 F Sport perfect (vs really good):

1. Rain-sensing wipers
2. Real leather seats
3. Memory seats
4. RC F LED Lights/Fascia
5. Michelin Pilot Super Sports (instead of crappy Turanzas)
6. Better/better positioned cup holder
7. Better nav system (instead of the fancied-up nav Toyota puts in all its cars)
8. 50+ horses AND at least 50 more ft. lbs torque

I was going to go there as well (they had 3 IS350 AWD F-Sports with the ML package) but my car died abruptly so I couldn't wait to them ship it to me.

Two things it definitely should have had:
- Memory feature (seats, mirrors, radio ect...)
- Ventilated seats

Nice to haves:
- HUD
- Power folding mirrors
- Tilt down mirrors
- Heated steering wheel

I also wish I could have had option to swap my factory tires for good winter tires like Michelin X-Ice Xi3s. Now I got to try and sell the factory summer tires on my own.

I couldn't really make the last minute trip to out to CO so I went local I bought from Lexus of Englewood without the ML package. I kind of hate myself right now

I have the damn wheel and tire warranty as well so even if I bought Michelin Pilots, they would give me Crapstones as replacements

Dealer did offer me $50 for each tire. I'm hoping I can do better on my own come spring. Otherwise I may throw these back on the factory rims and use it up over the summer.

Add remote start to the list for F-Sport

As JDR76 said, Nav+Traffic is free ...for life. I find the Nav to be quite good. Though if for some reason you really need Google directions the Bluetooth tethering will read out the directions from your phone through your car's speakers.


I think that I must be the only one who actually likes the car without the fog lights. I always hated how the housing of the fog lights didn't match the rest of the car. I think it gives it a more aggressive look without them. Some of the people I work with think I added a ground kit. Not to mention I just find it cheesy when I see people driving with their fog lights on. Now the vertical fog lights (or maybe they are really low to the ground DRLs) I see on some cars are unique enough to where I'd drive with those on.

The one thing I would want is a 4.0L NA engine. I love naturally aspirated engines, its why I love M3s.

Outside of that, eh not really pining for anything. Maybe remote start. Maybe bigger and better placed cup holders. Maybe a... supermodel.

theoryguy3

Supermodel is going to be tough, even tougher is which one would you want? I doubt they'd add a standard remote start as it wears down the alternator and Lexus won't put anything standard that would decrease reliability.

That being said the 8 speed A/T should be standard as well

I wish the head light washers were the pop-up variety instead of those chrome pieces sticking up from the bumper.

Since my car is a EU car, I do have most of the stuff folks wish for on their f-sport.
Rain sensing wipers, power folding mirrors, lane keep assist, heated steering wheel, fog lights and so on.

However I would trade most of these features for AWD. The RWD hybrid system is no fun and pretty useless in the winter time
At least norwegian winter. It has snowed about 20 cm today, making the total amount of snow here around 100cm. Almost got stuck when parking. Had to rock the car back and forth to get out after standing in the the parking space about 2 hours.

Awd is not avalible on the IS in europe.
