Luxury Vs Premier/sport Difference In Trim

[Roger Bill]

Popped into Lexus, Hatfield and noticed the Premier and Sport IS3 grades have stitched leather (or fake leather?) pads on either side of the centre console but the Luxury doesn't have any pads. Just a minor point but one I hadn't previously noticed.

This is referred to as 'Integral knee pads for front centre console' on the spec sheet.

Thanks Colin, using that terminology I've now found it mentioned in the spec sheet as a feature of the F Sport but nothing re the Premier. The 3 or 4 Premier IS3s I've seen have these pads.

[ColinBarber]

It is shown as standard for both the F Sport and Premier on the Lexus.co.uk website, on the 250 and 300h - it appears the website actually has something correct :o

There are so many inconsistencies/errors/omissions in the brochure and website for the new IS - best thing to do, as you have done, is to actually go and see one in person.

[Roger Bill]

Thanks again Colin, you're right on both counts.

I don't have them on the Luxury spec. I'd prefer to have them, and wasn't aware whether I would or wouldn't, but I don't really mind.
