2016+ "value" in F Sport package?
For pre refresh years, I think there were a lot of "value" in the F sport package as it included a new front bumper, heated and ventilated seats, blind spot monitoring, etc. However, with 2016+ models, F sport only adds a difference grill (correct me if I am wrong -I think the bumper itself stays the same) and base GS 350s already come with a ton of safety features as well as the heated and ventilated seats.
So is the 2016+ f sport package still worth it at almost 5k extra?
I am in the market for a CPO 2015 f sport or a new 2016 base model. There is not much price difference between the two and the differences between base vs f sport has got me thinking....
What do you guys think?

Of course, there are differences in suspension for the f sport package models - but I am basically looking at "value" of an f sport for 2013-2015 vs 2016+ models.

So some of these features were available with premium package but now standard for base models - that makes the f sport a less bang for buck now, right?

I purchased mine CPO so the price premium was negligible. The that being said, I definitely consider the F Sport package worth it. My car also has rear steering and I love the way it handles.
The ML audio is worth it too.

I see your GS is a pre-refresh model. For those, I definitely think the F sport package was worth it. It came with a lot more extras than it does now.
