F sport seats
Just got my 2016 f-sport series 3 in atomic silver with rioja red interior today and loving it so far. However, one complaint I have is the bolstering around the thigh areas of the f-sport seats. It can be quite difficult to get in and out of the car. Also, in the process of doing so, I feel like I apply a lot of pressure on these bolsters and i can already see creasing. Anyone else have the same issue? Otherwise, they're incredibly comfortable when driving.

I think when just sitting and driving, the left bolster is more noticeable because of the position of the left foot rest. It's father out to the side than the brake/acceleration pedals.
It was one reason I didn't consider the F-Sport.

I wonder if you could "mold" it to your liking, like they do with my snowboarding boots. Maybe you can take a blow-dryer, heat up that portion of the seat, and then sit on it for about 15 minutes while it cools into your personal shape. (...just a thought!)

For me, I've been one of those folks who found the bolsters stiff but after a few weeks, it softened a little. Now 11 months into ownership and I don't really noticed them (a good thing) BUT with temps getting colder I'm starting to notice them a tad in my thighs again...
In short, your idea is worth a try.

Uhh...I wouldn't recommend turning the headrest around...it wasn't designed that way, so it could be potentially dangerous to do that. The headrests were designed to absorb impact and reduce injury from rear-end collisions, and getting it "out of the way" increases spaces between head and seat which causes more severe whiplash injuries.
Tall people you have a good point.

The NX has "puddle lamps". Not only do they have puddle lamps for the driver and front passenger, but for occupants at all four doors. The door handles—in addition to the built-in courtesy lights to help grip the handle—also have specific LEDs that shine downward to the ground below each of the handles.��
...and yes, they do turn on when approaching the car (no touching required).

Do you have to set something for the lights to turn on when you approach the car? I have never noticed this mine turning on as I approach only when I touch the handle.

I'll credit the Alex on Autos video for this, the detail impressed him and, me, too. I could not find a post on it here.
Inside the frame of the rear hatch on each side are two flat, very small lights (LED I presume) which continue the arc of the tail and reverse lights in the gap between the body and the tailgate. As a result, from the rear the Lexus swoosh appears unbroken.
A detail I don't believe I've seen elsewhere, and never noticed on my prior Lexus models..

Here's something I found out recently. Being new to HD radio, I discovered that I am able to "rewind" to listen to the audio again. The other day I was listening to the news and something was said that I didn't quite hear correctly. I pressed the "rewind" button and played it back. There is a button to go back to live audio. I don't know how far back it goes (the buffer size), but this feature is very cool.
