IS250 F-Sport in Sport mode
It's just the throttle response? Is steering or brakes enhanced or is it just me? I know the Is250 didn't get the suspension option like the IS350.

There are a few subtle changers:
1 - Revs stay higher
2 - Increased throttle response
3 - Steering becomes heavier
4 - Traction control is less intrusive
5 - Gear mapping is changed
The IS350 has the adaptive dampers which stiffen the car up but its not available on the IS250

The adaptive dampers definitely improve the handling. The IS350 drives like a BMW in Sport+. So fun in the canyon. IMO it was worth giving up a bit of the throttle response for the amazing handling.

I see you're in a different market. As far as I'm aware, Sport + mode is only available on the IS350 F-Sport in North America and Canada and only the IS300h in the UK gets it if its specified with the adaptive dampers.
