Oh and I really like the RC but it's even slower and I wasn't wow'ed at the options compared to the IS. Also a damn good looking car though.

Ha, I know not even worth fussing over after the slow down between 2IS and 3IS. 8 spd AT most to blame I guess, which is a great trans anyways.

Default IS F Sport seats

Are the seats any different in an IS200t F sport and an IS350 F sport?? I’m asking because I’m looking into some seat covers for my 200t f sport but they only have some for the 350 but they claim that they should fit perfectly fine..

I would love to be 100% certain but I am not although my understanding is that the F sports seats are the same....The difference is between F Sport and non F Sport....

I am sure others with more knowledge tan me will chime in very soon This site is amazing for people willing to help others...

F sport:
appearance (mostly grill) which looks way better
gauge cluster looks amazing
red / bucket seats
steering wheel perforated
has sport + setting which has adjustable dampers

transmission differences non F sport & F sport = same
AWD 6 speed vs RWD 8 speed (apparently ppl say rwd shifts faster)

i have a non F sport, im ok with it.. there weren't that many options for F sports when i was purchasing that were in good condition but i would recommend it over for sure

IS = sporty driving, better handling than RC (IMO), RC is more of a GT car (comfort cruising, not sport).. i think if i were to upgrade, i'd get the RC and throw some lowering springs on it, hopefully that would help it out

They are the same. As wthrman2 stated, the F Sport models get different seats, but regardless of the engine/drivetrain selected (whether it's 200t/300, 300 AWD, 350, or 350 AWD), you would get the same F Sport seats.
