I'm planning to pick up a 2022 IS350 F-Sport at the end of this month. As you can see from my signature, I've never owned an IS. Will I be disappointed with the size? I've always heard the back seat is a joke, but I've seen video reviews of this car and it seems fine. Also, do the F-Sport models come with rear sunshade? I don't see it mentioned on the "factory sticker". Thanks!
The rear sunshade is optional. If you want it, you'll need to confirm the car you're looking at has it. If you ask me, I find it a curious addition to a sport sedan like this.

Where is the beep coming from? Do you see any message on the dash or gauges?
I also have my own question...
When I was poking around in the engine bay, I happened to notice my brake fluid is more or less pale yellow-green in color. I looked at an older photo I took of the engine bay, and it seems to be a similar lemon-lime color. Does that seem like the normal brake fluid color? I think my GTI/GLI had clear brake fluid.

That's the price you pay for bolsters that hug you when taking corners. I set the auto seat movement to 'partial', that seems to help with getting out of the car without sitting on the bolsters too much. Mine are already creased after 3 years, but I use my car like a normal car, so it'd be strange if they didn't look used.

Any one use surface shield undercoating to protect from winter road nastiness?
This car is so nice underneath I’d like to fight off the corrosiveness as best I can. We have a salt brine and sand mix as well as mag chloride used here. Not car friendly. Even with easy access with my truck and my 80 to spray off its still eating them.

How much dirtier is the side of your car getting after flush fitments and any paint damage from rock chips etc. ?Current set would look better spaced out a little bit but I’m bit worried about peppering and the sides of the car getting worked by crap. Cars wrapped so the finish is a bit on the fragile side.

Awd PPE catless headers for IS350 2014 and below will not fit a rwd IS350 2014 due to clearance issues right?

Stupid car
Long story short but I parked my car for about 5 hours & when I got back in the navigation reset. The layout was different, my phone won't connect with Bluetooth & TPS sensors don't stay connected. When I set the layout on my screen it goes back to the old setup. Has this happened to anyone else or know a fix? Thanks.
