Any real reason to choose a 2015 IS350 instead of 2014 IS350?

Guidelines in the backup camera is pretty useful.
And the center console in the 2014 is a glossy black, which can get really scratched up easily. The 2015 has a matte finish, easier to keep clean and scratch free.
Also, +1 on all other comments. Go with 2015.. unless the deal your're getting on a 2014 is GREAAAT.

Don't let the battery issue deter you from a 2014. I've had my 2014 for 40 months, still using original battery. Some people had navigation freezes (myself included), but I believe most of those were remedied with updates.
Ventilated seats, center console and dynamic reverse lines seem to be the biggest differences.

There really is no deal breaker between 14 and 15. I would get 15 just because it is newer. But if there is a huge price difference, I would stick with 14.
Try to look for a vehicle manufactured later in the year, I bought my 14 towards the later in the year and I have Zero problems.

Heated Steering Wheel
And for those of us in the colder climates, the '15 has a heated steering wheel. This, along with the ventilated seats, wasn't offered on the '14.
And some have said the heated seats on the '15 are more effective. On the '14, they are barely warm enough to feel through denim, and it takes fifteen minutes just to get any noticeable warmth.

Or is "F sport" just "assumed" around here?

Again, not an "F sport".

I have 14 IS350, never have the issue with the battery. NAV used to flickering here and there but problem solved once firmware updated. I will give a plus for ventilated seats on 15+ model year. Other than that, it's the same.
