Default Thinking about ordering an F Sport

Hello all,

So I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on a new F Sport and since I want the ML package, I am forced to order.

I'm contemplating the Starfire Pearl on Black Interior. Options I'm considering getting are the ML, Blind Spot Monitoring and Auto-Starter. Would you all recommend anything else worthwhile getting?

Any input is greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!

Sounds like a great combo. If you checked out the color poll in this forum, you'll see that most F-Sport owners have Starfire Pearl, so it is a popular color and the car looks great in it. My only additional option recommendation would be HUD. I use it a lot more than the actual speedo to see how fast I'm going. It would be hard to live without from now on.

I, and many others on the forum, would highly recommend the F-Sport. It is one fantastic, well-rounded car.

Strange, it doesn't give me the option to add that on the website... What else does the HUD come with and how much is it?

When I built mine, there were two packages and I picked the most expensive. When I go in to build now, I don't see HUD listed as part of the package, but it is listed separately as an option for $900.

yeah... like dseag2 stated, the HUD is a good option. IMO the DRCC is good to have also if you go on long road trips. HUD displays your music tracks, volume, AC/HEAT info, RPM etc. i have every option except night vision couldn't get NV because of the DRCC. i've used all the toys and they all work very well with no problems so far. LKA is good on the highway and if you become distracted and begin to veer out of your lane you will feel the steering torque nudge you back into the center of the lane. if i'm correct you need the DRCC in order to get the LKA, i think it gives you the DAM also. DRCC, DAM and LKA is a bundle i think. don't quote me on the last one .

If you're ordering, you should add LDH (Lexus Dynamic Handling) which gets you DRS (Dynamic Rear Steering).

The reason that you can't configure it the way you like on the website is because Lexus changes the available options depending on the zip code that you put in.

why don't you go to the nearest Lexus dealer and read window stickers on the F-Sports... you'll be surprised at what you may find.
