@rayaans...I agree. people should know what they are buying before they buy. I also think that people posting comments should also know what they are talking about before posting as well. I fully researched the car before buying, and was never aware of a different drive mode being available. After my few test drives I didn't think one was needed. Only after owning the car for 6 months did this nagging issue bother me. Still love the car. Wouldn't trade it in for anything else.

I have seen references to a hybrid F sport, but I don't have the hybrid version. May explain why you think all F sports have different drive modes.

The 91 octane requirement is only true on earlier model. My '13 uses 87 octane and I'm glad to not pay for the premium gas like my other Lexus.

Really?! That's interesting. I wasn't aware of any engine changes between 10-13.Good news for future owners I guess. (Just saw that the 2013 450h still requires Premium gas. 91 octane or higher.)
