Default Features you wish your 2014 IS had

For me:

1) Standard fog lights on the F-Sport
2) Power folding mirror
3) Memory Seats
4) Heads-up display
5) Heated Steering Wheel on F-Sport
6) Real leather seats on F-Sport
7) Google Nav

Agreed with a few on your list: Power folding mirrors, memory seats, HUD, heated steering wheel

To add: ventilated seats, adaptive headlights, valet mode, lane keep assist

I would say Google map which offer real time traffic monitor! It is silly to have to pay for Traffic monitor services these days and ages.

HUD and adaptive lights would be nice.
What i really miss are red indicator-lights on the door edges when they're open, like most other cars have.

Your comment reminds me of another thing I wish were true for the 2014 3IS: routine availability of the ML sound system for the AWD 3IS F Sport in the Northeast. In my experience and to my knowledge currently, ML-AWD-F Sport in the 3IS must be special ordered, as that combo is usually not found in cars allocated to this region. Yet, the Pacific Northwest enjoys reliable allocation of vehicles outfitted this way!

Adjustable suspension. Air suspension will be an option on the soon to be released Mercedes W205 C Class and, I understand, will provide a number of switchable settings.

Let's make this easy:

A package that combines the Luxury and F Sport Packages.

No reason same shouldn't have been available, especially in the U.S.
