Well, you have a lot of company. I, like everyone who is getting/got the AWD version of the IS350 cannot get this option.

not only do i have it on my soon to be delivered IS 350 RWD F-sport, but my 2013 GS 350 AWD F-Sport has it as well!
guess they just decided not to include it on the AWD IS models.

and i am very happy with it, even my wife can tell the difference between s and s+ modes

In Canada it comes with the F-Sport package by default, or at least it does in the F-Sport premium package which you'll want to get anyway.

I ordered it as well. Had been hearing some negative feedback from other members stating that the steering wheel would almost lock in position while driving at high speeds. Making it very difficult to maneuver the steering wheel. Would be interested to hear if this is a common experience.

Do you agree with the statement above about steering becoming hard to use at high speeds?

Isn't VRGS standard with the 2014 F-Sport?

I assume my car has it (2014 F-Sport RWD). Sport Plus. Regardless, the steering tightens at speed (noticeably). I think it helps handling.
