My quick test drive comments
Finally got enough Free time to go drive both the Non F and F Sport
both cars, were equipped exactly the same
Blind spot
Intuitive park assist
NAV
Cold weather
drove the Non F Sport first
played with the Eco to Sport mode, I honestly didn't feel much difference,
car drove exactly like I thought a $56000 Lexus would, smooth, but not soft, comfortable seats
Drove the F sport and the real difference inside where the seats, they really are much better than the non F sport, the power side bolsters and extendable thigh supports are nice
The one thing I didn't like as much is how harsh the ride was, I was shocked, I've owned a 3 series with M sport, an S4 with 19's and they weren't as hard a ride, maybe hitting 40, I'm getting old but I almost don't know if I'll enjoy the ride especially on the crappy NY roads

Make sure that it has Michelin tires and that they weren't over inflated. I have a buddy that has a 2015 F Sport, and I'm surprised by how well it rides.
BTW, my LS rides incredibly
Its a big jump money wise from the GS though.

If you're not particularly interested in the exterior design, Luxury gs may just be what you want. It's unlikely that you will feel the handling difference some claim. Comes with S/S+. Seats are even more comfortable for both driver and passenger. I drove the 15 f sports with Dunlop for half of a day and also found it quite loud and noisy. Psi is set to 35 as stated on the door panel. Maybe Michellin will help.

Bear in mind that the 2015 Luxury models have the same 19" wheels as the F Sport.

I thought my FSport in Normal mode floats too much. Now I can't drive other than in Sport +. Damn CT suspension made my FSport feels too floaty!

Yeah they have a lighter color finish but they're the same wheels.
