I'd go for a 2015 F Sport over 2014 just because the 2015 don't seem to have a battery drain issue like some 2014s. The vented seats is nice. Generally speaking, 2015 has more standard options so you don't have to get a high as a level to have things like blind spot detection.Good luck OP

I'd go for the 2015 model just because a lot of issues have been fixed from MY14 (nav slowness, battery drain, etc)
You also get ventilated seats in the 2015 model
You wont' regret paying a bit more for it!

+1 for ventilated seats. I'll never buy another car without them. Go for the '15.

That's up to you as you would probably save a little buying used, but since you're looking at 2014/2015 I'm guessing the difference won't be that much if the mileage is low. The only thing I'll say is research automax atlanta. I was interested in a vehicle there, but their reviews don't seem that great. Namely they sell vehicles "as-is."
Funny you mentioned Automax Atlanta. I am looking at a IS350 f-sport from there I plan to purchase in a few weeks. Do your research; check auto history; thoroughly test drive and inspect. If any doubt and u really want the car, let a mechanic see it.
