Default Any one else getting really bothered '14 fsports didn't come with ventilated seats

so i love my 3IS there is no doubt about that. but when the MY15 came out and they announced that fsports would get ventilated seats and a heated steering wheel along with the enform remote start, am i the only lexus owner who feels a little kicked to the curb by lexus? lol.

now that its getting warm out i keep wondering how convenient those ventilated seats would be at keeping my legs and rear end cool and comfortable lol. even the heated steering wheel option would've been great. got the fsport for the red interior and styling and i love it but...cmon lexus. i guess I'm even more pissed because i bought the car. you guys think its already wired and ready for these things? anyway thanks for reading, just another 3IS owner voicing their frustration lol

nope. doesn't bother me one bit. i had an extra year of enjoying the car, and that's more important to me than heated/ventilated seats

It doesn't bother me until the weather gets hot. It would be nice to have ventilated seatS, one of the features I miss from 2nd gen IS.

Ive used the ventilated seats a few times and your not really missing much. Its a 'the grass is greener on the other side' sort of thing. I dont have vgrs and i am so envious of those that do.

No, I knew when I bought my '14 that future models might have it. I also know now that I'm buying a '15 that the '16 will offer something new as well. If you wait for all of the features to be available you'll never buy a car.

Not having ventilated seats doesn't bother me, but not having a heated steering wheel really does.

Yes it disappointed me, especially considering my friend has them in his older IS250. Getting into a 90 deg. car with cooled seats provides some good relief. My next car will have them for sure.

Heated Seats - Must have
Ventilated Seats - Nice to have

What bothers me a lot is no memory seats/mirrors. Really? A $50,000 car without this option is ludicrous. It's hard to believe that the F sport option eliminates the availability of other options

Doesn't bother me but like Napa said no memory seats is a **** off. My last car a chrysler 300m that was 13 years old even had them. For me it's a pain cause I'm 6'3 and my wife is 5'4 so we always have to readjust everything after driving one another old car had 2 settings so we could have it all set the way we each like at a push of a button.
