I recently bought an IS 350 F-Sport and thought I'd join the club! I know I didn't get a great deal on it but thought it was pretty fair. Let me know what you guys think! Also, do you think it would have been worth to spend an extra thousand or two for the Vented/cool seats and the heated steering wheel in the 15' model?

I also got a 2014 in December, but with the heated steering wheel. I definitely wanted heated seats but have been disappointed at how weak they are, but have found the heated steering wheel to be far more useful than I thought it'd be. Used it all the time when it was cold out. The BSM has also been very useful, from pulling out of parking stalls to changing lanes on the road. Apparently the cooled seats aren't all that big a deal, according to the testimonials of some.

Thanks, I just bought the car a few days ago so I'm just thinking what I might have missed out on. I live in the midwest so the winters can suck at times, but I guess I have dealt with not having heated steering my whole life. Just thought if it was a game changer for some of you guys.

Don't stress on the seats or steering wheel. Due to the Nuluxe material both seat options are fairly lackluster (the vented seats especially are barely noticeable), and the heated steering wheel is warm at best and only at the 3 and 9 o'clock points

Congrats! The heated steering wheel/vented seats were my only concerns. I didn't think about them too much until I bought the car and then I suddenly thought I may have missed something nice (always want more you know?).

Thanks! As more days pass, I appreciate what I have. It's one of those moments when you first buy a car, should I have gotten this color, this option, etc. Do I want to be stuck with this for 10 years plus? So far, definite yes!

Hate to keep hijacking your thread but totally feel the same way. Definitely happy with my purchase.

Haha so true. I got my 250 without even testing the 350. Regret right away. But stick with it because it gets me from point a to b. I paid 24k last year before tax @@
