Default Question about driver seat in F-sport

Is there a setting that moves the driver's seat back automatically when exiting the car? Thank you.

Only if you have the memory seats.

Nope, not on the F Sport. As zwkchong stated, it's because the "Easy Exit" feature is tied to the Memory seat function which is only available on non-F Sports.

This is one of the reasons I bought the luxury package over the f sport.

Good on you! We as F Sport guys also got shafted on the no tilt of side mirrors when you put the car in reverse AND no park assist. Someone needs to be kicked in the behind for not making these very basic options available on the F sport! Mind you, this 3rd class treatment is limited to the US. I had a 14 F sport overseas that had all these options.

I guess it depends. Lexus Europe has a ridiculous options policy. IS F Sport wouldn't come with ML until a lot of people complained. Now the ML is tied to the premium navigation system and the leather seats although the online configurator does not automatically include them. I call that an improvement though...
Still no heated steering wheel, no rear window sunblind, no 300/350 V6... and the new, larger display is not included in the standard 2017 configuration either. Afaik only Japan has all the options and engines available.

Which I find ironic, since Lexus as a brand was created for the US in the first place!

How hard would it be to add memory seats to an fsport? Assuming it would be mostly plug and play.

I'd be curious about this too. Shouldn't be any more to it than adding the buttons, possibly a module, and possibly having the car flashed for the option.
