F-sport doesn't have auto sensing rain wipers

I think you need to look at Lexus.com specifically my build http://lexus.us/1MjngjG because I have them, check under PREMIUM Package

A better designed auto rain wiper shouldn't behavior like that.

I looked up on the dash and saw a little fan icon on a button next to the seat heater button and thought...hmm...is that what I think it is? 3 fan speeds...love it.

I'm basically with you on that. We have the auto wipers on our RX, and while they do impress me with how well they work, they feel a bit like a solution to a problem that doesn't exist. Kind of cool to see them work, but really quite pointless in my opinion. I'd add them as a no cost option, but doubt I'd pay extra for them.

Indicates "delete ventilated seats" under F-sport series 1 package.
Otherwise my wife would have selected F-sport series 2, instead of the Executive package.

my o6 lesud is50had anilene leather seats, hot/cold venting, auto rain headlights, illuminated sill standard, adaptive tirning headlights, v6, all that jazz...none of which the nx has. so they cheapened everything and made more expensive...might be my last lexus.

I had rain-sensing wipers on my 2008 IS250, and specifically wanted my NX to NOT have them. on my IS, they would operate slowly in pouring rain, yet operate rapidly in a mist. Sometimes they didn't sense rain at all. They were an aggravation. I'm so glad to have the manual intermittent wipers on my NX. I think I'm a better judge of how fast my wipers need to go than any system could be.

Call me spoiled, but I miss the auto wipers. I can live without them, but I like them and would prefer to have had them. I'm pretty sure Lexus can justify the packaging choices they make, but they often make no sense to me. I bought the NX rather than the IS I intended to buy, because the IS FSports were missing so many of the things I like. Memory seats and power steering wheel adjustments, for example. Why? That's just dumb! I would have paid for them, but I simply didn't have the option. At least with the NX I got everything else I wanted. Except ventilated seats, but the Lexus implementation of those is terrible anyway. They're borderline useless.
