You need to purchase the luxury package to add "memory seats".

Tilt down mirrors on reverse as well.

This is really the one thing I would've wished that they offered for F-Sports. It should've been standard or part of the F-Sport package.

I couldn't agree more! but there is hope, it is part of my F sport package in my 2013 GS 350
so is heated steering wheel and heated and cooled seats.

Memory is really nice if you have multiple family members driving your car. If you're the primary or only driver, you saved money.

That's a good point. I don't let anyone drive my car...not even valet

I'm the only driver but it's nice to have the seat move back when you turn off the car so it's easier to get out. And eventually someone will be sitting in my drivers seat, unless I never have to bring it into the dealer. There are some places that is valet only no matter what you say, and no they won't let you park it yourself due to liability to other cars.

It's sad that such a simple feature isn't available on all packages. My wife and I swap cars all the time, depending on who's picking up the kids. It's such a lame duck to think this is not available in a "Lexus". It's one of those decision made by dumb asses.

Cooled seats and memory features are what I wish my IS 350 F Sport had. Sad part is this is available on 3IS just not in US models. YesI can live without it but when you spend this type of money for a car these are the convenience features you expect to get with it.

I've noticed the sitting position of the 3IS is a lot lower than the 2IS. The cooling seats probably had to be sacrificed to let you sit this low in the F Sport. There easily another 1-2" of headroom now over the 2IS

No, since Europe and Asian versions of 3IS has cooled seats and memory feature.

Agreed. There should be certain features every Lexus - or luxury car for that matter - comes with. THIS IS ONE OF THEM. :|

Do you think a retrofit would ever be possible? I would definitely be interested if so.
