You know f-sport is just lipstick package, the "sport" I guess is the adjustable suspension for whatever that's worth, oh and a digital speedometer.

F-sport is just like Audi S-line or BMW M-sport. It has nothing to do with engine power.

Sure, but it's frustrating how they omit features.

I can't get LED headlights, power tilt, memory, rain sensing wipers or cooled seats with an F-Sport. IMO, F-Sport shouldn't be separated - it should be one more package on top of the others, just like Audi and BMW are.

That's the point, people think it does... if it did I would have went F-Sport, I can find plenty other things to do with $4k.

That's because people don't do any research before spending over $40k on a car. That's plain stupid.

I have to agree, as you can see with the "I make $8/hr and have a 380 credit score can I buy an IS" threads and "I don't have ventilated seats or fog lights what gives" posts there's more than a few. I like the F-sport wheels though, they are sharp, I'd still be swapping them out for a non-staggered setup though.

I'd like for the 8 speed to automatically go into gears 6-7-8 while in Sport/Sport+ mode. That and another 30-50 lb/ft of torque!

Why would you even want that? Doesn't make sense to me unless you drive at 60mph + constantly.
