At the time of acquiring the vehicle, I was sold by Luxury interior. The wheels were the thing I felt a bit less than neutral. I was looking into getting a different set of wheels for sometime. But the wheels grew on me before I knew it. I didn't feel the need anymore.
Overtime I feel my GS looks a bit boring esp. after I spent some time with the new GX. The F Sports looks more attractive outside. But if I had gotten the F Sports from the beginning, I might have the same feeling the other way.
Either way, I think they are both nice cars for their class. 
Not sure whether it's placebo but I remember one member stated that his FS Sports+ felt better than Luxury's, as if they were tuned differently. Never driven an FS myself so I don't know. Maybe due to larger brake/wheel and possible tuning itself? BTW, did you know 2013 Luxury came with double pane front windows vs. single on 2013 F Sports?

Okay, so let me clarify, since SW13GS is responding to my post.
If I'm on the road driving, there is not one single way I can distinguish between Luxury and Premium. Both wheels look horrible, so that is not something that would give me any indication. Both are without rear spoilers and both are without the F-Sport emblem. Hence my statement that it's either F-Sport or not, in my world. Obviously if I walk up next to a GS in the parking lot and am able to see inside, I can figure it out, but driving 55mph down the road makes that tough to do.
mimoz07 - your car looks fantastic. I like that color a lot. Did you order the bumper pre-painted, or did you have a body shop color match it to the car?

I'm speaking for the RWD FSports.
