Default 2019 F-Sport 2 week review

I've been driving my 2019 F-Sport for a little over two weeks. 648 miles. Nebula grey pearl with Circuit red interior.

So far I'm liking it, big fan of the F-Sport look. Really nice fit and finish. It's much more practical and useful than my G37 was. Especially with 2 kids. It's not quite as fun to drive though....

I'm really enjoying the Sport+ driving mode. To me it's a big difference between normal mode and Sport+ with AVS. The suspension is noticeably more firm along with the steering. Big difference in throttle response as well. Then when I put it back in Normal mode it's nice and smooth.

Another feature I like is the adaptable cruise during my commute. Works great at all speeds and keeps a reasonable distance.

Engine- Good acceleration improved with Sport+ and it's pretty quiet compared to the G37. Thankfully it has the engine noise dial. The RDX I test drove did not and it was loud. 6 speed vs 7 in the G37 but I honestly don't notice it.

Seats- I like how they hug you although it took a couple days to figure out the best settings. It's a more upright position vs the G37. My only complaint would be that my left leg rests on the side bolster when putting my food on the dead pedal. A thigh extension would be perfect. The heat level is good. Not hot enough to try the cooled seats yet.

Infotainment- Not a huge fan of the remote touch but I've gotten comfortable with it. I do like the screen and the ability to split it with map and music. I wish it wouldn't override the music screen with exits. The nav works great IMO. Traffic is good and the 3 shortcuts on the main screen is a nice touch. Overall there is a ton of stuff to dig into. Then you have the mini display above the steering wheel. Lots of information, a little overwhelming and still discovering things.

Safety- BSM is great, rear cross traffic has come in handy a few times at my kid's school drop off. Parking assist is also helpful for parking in the garage.

Heated wheel- better than nothing but it could be better. The heated area is small and heat is uneven.

MPG- Not great at 20mpg but I assume it will get better with a few more miles on the odometer.

Space- Good amount for what I need. Our other vehicle is a larger suv. I removed the privacy cover right away.

Kick sensor for hatch- works great although the hatch motor is a little noisy.

Remote start via app- No issues although I hate that the engine shuts down when I open the door. Dumb.

I can't think of anything else, great vehicle so far.

Have you thought about getting the mod that allows the Nav to be accessed while driving? You can also watch movies and other things as well.

Not really interested plus it’s a lease so no mods allowed...
