Are memory seats for the driver side standard on the 2015 Q50s?

I gave a call to my local dealership to ask about this and the sales associate has not gotten back to me yet. So I figured I'd ask on here.

I really don't want to buy the package with the Direct Adaptive Steering System just to get memory seats.

If they are not standard, do any of you believe that they will eventually be standard or offered individually in the coming model years (2016/2017)?

BTW, how do you guys like your cars so far? Any complaints or annoying little quirks about the car?

I am looking to get the S variant.

I wish mine had the memory seats, but I can live without it since it takes about 10 seconds to re-adjust if my wife drives the car.

I don't have the Sport model, as I have the premium and I don't have any complaints on the way it drives. Personally, I like the front end grill of the premium, but I would have liked my fog light trim to have been blacked out as on the sport trim

They are still in the deluxe touring package. They will eventually be dropped down into the premium package I am sure, but we will not know until this time next year for the 2016's.

two things I miss on my pure premium trim - memory seats and sonars...but I will survive!

1) They are not standard on the car. They are part of the Deluxe Touring package on a gasser and Deluxe Tech package on a Hybrid.

2) At some point, I'd bet that memory seats and parking sensors become part of the car at the Premium level (not necessarily on a base model). When that will be is anyone's guess. '16? '17? '18?

3) In the opinions of most of the people on this forum who have DAS, you're making a mistake if you're avoiding the Deluxe touring package because you don't "want" this feature. You read a bunch of reviews of pre-production cars with software that has been significantly updated since the car was released. Read the CNET review from April of this year. They got it right. Don't listen to a bunch of moronic reviewers. Go drive the car and see for yourself.

+1 on DAS as well, it is indeed the feature I love the most. After driving mine, when I drive one from the dealer without DAS. Gotta say, I missed it a lot.

Unfortunately not standard, as you can tell from the prior posts. Definitely a feature I miss; it was standard on my Acura TL and is probably only one of my gripes with my Q50S, The other is the non-standard "tilt" side view mirrors when car is put into reverse (that's also a feature included in the deluxe package) - need to be real careful when parallel parking not to scuff the rims on curb (S model tires are real low profile). Just tell the valets not to touch the seat settings under penalty of death. I picked up my S at the end of October and have been loving it ever since - Just have the Navi package. Went for the S primarily because of the seats, as I commute about 60 miles each way for work. Seats are really nice. Don't miss my Acura and glad I passed on the TLX. Good luck.

Thanks everyone for the input. I was/am avoiding the DAS due to a lot of negative reviews of it. But I have yet to experience it in person. But what exactly does it do differently then the regular steering system of other cars (sorry, not a big car person whatsoever).

Is it safe? I've heard quite a bit of stories of dissatisfied/angry Q50 owners with DAS that wish they never would've got it. I would do a search on the forum regarding this but for some reason the search function doesn't work on my laptop.

DAS works well and that's coming from a guy who's car was in 6 times until Infiniti fixed the SW months ago. Since then... No issues and if you look on this forum people complaining about crazy DAS stuff seems to have gone away..
I'm a fan.. Get the tech stuff if your budget lets you. It works really well.
