Really? So do you think a $145K car should have .. say memory seats? BMW I8 starts at this price and there are no memory seats, none are available.

Hello this is my first time using a forum but looking to test drive and purchase an IS 300 F Sport 2017 in few weeks. Was thinking Atomic Silver with red interior or Atomic Silver with black interior but need to see colors at the dealership. Does anyone have these color combos and have any regrets/suggestions. Also where can I find invoice price and how much should I expect to pay for a good deal, wouldn't get navigation/premium sound. I think the only extras I would get are weather mats and lug nuts. Last time I purchased a car was 17 years ago so I've been out of the game, any help would be appreciated, thanks

Why bother about invoice prices since many dealers get their cars below invoice? Go to truecar.com and this will give you an idea what a particular car is selling for in your area. I used this in my negotiation with the dealer.

IMO you can't go wrong with Silver//Red, however, please make sure you get ALL the features & options you're expecting. In my case missing are: Seat & Driving Position MEMORY Settings, Power Telescopic Steering Wheel Adjustment, Power Folding Side View Mirrors. THANKS!!

It amazes me how often F Sport owners will complain about missing features from their car! I wanted to buy an F Sport for the AVS, variable steering rate, and Sport + mode, but I hated the grill and loved the features that the Executive package (Canada) had (like real leather memory seats, and all the extra safety features), so I went with the package that had most of what I wanted.

I wanted the F-Sport for something similar to an "Ultimate Driving Machine". Thanks!!

For 2017, Lexus Safety + is standard on the IS. (BSM, PCS, LKA, RCTA, DRCC).

AND please make sure you first understand what car comes with what options, options often do not sell a la carte, if you are crazy about F-Sport many options may not be available to you so please - educate yourself first. If you bought F-Sport because this is what you really wanted - stop complaining that you didn't get memory seats or that this is somehow missing. It is getting tiresome.

My neighbor has an old BMW and the Side View Mirrors fold in every time he parks right beside me. The replacement cost + labor for ONE complete Side View Mirror assembly from Lexus approaches around ~$1000.

NO THANKS ~ we will CONTINUE. Why? Because it's ridiculous. Lexus is conducting an extreme disservice to committed, dedicated, LONG TERM customers, by behaving this way wrt IS models, based solely on Greed and Profit. Many exclusions, or inclusions, are not based on factors or reasoning involving Engineering or Technology, or combinations thereof.

No major problems. Only thing I found annoying was slight ticking noising when going over bad roads. AND THE PAINT IS SOFT AF. Get a clear bra, <-- regretted that I didn't in the first place.
FYI, you made the right choice going with the atomic silver. I have White/Blk, but it gets dirty so easily. If I were to do it over again, I would had went with atomic silver.
