You got this dead on Spagolli94.

Fun fact: The modern day "memory seats" were first introduced in a production vehicle by Cadillac in 1981 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_seat).

It's such a common feature that cars which are less than 1/2 the price of the Lexus IS have it STANDARD. You shouldn't have to give up on the F-Sport, just because you want something basic like memory seats. Buyers "EXPECT" this feature as being standard, not "WANT" it - big difference there.

Lexus is a premium luxury brand and it's sad that after 33 years of memory seats being available, they have still not learned how small things such as non including these as standard (forcing people to choose between F-Sport & Luxury Package) frustrate most owners.

It's reasons such as these that gave up on from looking to purchase a vehicle in the "entry level" IS line & have moved onto the GS line even though I don't need the extra room.

COULD NOT HAVE SAID IT BETTER MYSELF.

Probably should've gone with the GS. :|

Was expecting better fuel economy in the IS; not the case.
