Default 2018 and 2019 F Sport Comparison

Sorry if this has already been discussed/posted: Is there a comparison and/or a list of features in the 2019?

Trying to decide betw. a used 2018 vs. buying a new 2019

2019 gets apple car play, amazon alexia and Lexus safety system gets updated to version 2.0 (not sure what they actually changed here tho).

Other than that I am not aware of any other changes

Thanks! So nothing in seating/color (not a fan of the red seats, prefer maroon or brown), wheel options?

For my money I'd go for a 2019. As tempting as the discounts are on leftover 2018's, Carplay would help me manage the Lexus infotainment better.... just my 2 cents though.

it really depends on the discount... if it’s a 15k discount, I would prob go for the 2018. Carplay just aren’t worth 15k to me.

If there are 18's left just better to get the discounts on the 18's, as the 19's have no real good discounts. Anyways all us 18" owners are crossing are fingers in the hope they just give in and send an update for it.

I know there's prob multiple posts on this but how are you 2018/2019 FSport owners liking the car (esp compared to the prev. ver if you owned one like me).

You can be honest now, it's not personal, no hurt feelings
