Yes, it's like that. The GS makes most cars look bad.

Love the edgy F-sport styling that makes other cars on the road look boring. The intake sound is awesome. The overall feel, grip, and balance of the car always puts a smile on my face. The beautiful interior, especially in flaxen or Cabernet, puts others (German cars) to shame. Comfy seats at the end of a long day.

The screen has completely spoiled me. I cannot see myself owning a car with anything smaller. It just doesn't feel right. I guess the next logical upgrade is to the Model S.

I've been really surprised how good Starfire Pearl makes the car look under a streetlamp at night. It glows and sparkles even more than it does in the sun. Looks even better if it's been rained on.

That's what she said.

18 way seats
Heated steering wheel
Auto Parking Brakes
Folding Mirrors
Power trunk
One touch open close windows (yes, I know been around a while but still love the convenience)
BSM
Backup Camera with fold down mirrors
Never in need of more power.
Damn, everything about the car. The WHOLE package.

Just wish it had bird-eye's view

For me I just feel connected with it. Auto adjust to fit, snug up the side bolsters and go. The handling and confidence the car instills brings on the grin.

This is so true. Just took a road trip and my F Sport made me happy

Esp. when you need to split the screen to display other information. Model S is nice but I'd settle for an LS.

We've had our first temps in the 30's here. I really enjoyed how the seat heaters warmed up fast, and them seamlessly transitioned down as the car's engine warmed up and the HVAC took over. A very nice setup.

I've taken 3 round trips from Central Florida to NOLA. What always put a smile on my face, was when I got out of the car at rest stops and at the end of the 10 hour road trip, I wasn't achy, stiff or tired. Very comfortable, I also liked getting back on the Hwy from the rest stops, but that always was followed with a sharp pain to my right shoulder and whine in my right ear.

It was single digits temps with negative windchills last night in Chicago. Not to mention a decent snow storm up north. Heated seats, steering wheel and AWD put a smile on my face last night.

Definatly, a panty dropper! But with a wife as opposed to a girlfriend it can be quite expensive because you might have another mouth to feed in 9 months. Lol.
