Ride quality: F-Sport vs Luxury
I know the F-Sport's variable suspension can be firmed up in Sport mode, but I'm still not decided between F-Sport & Luxury.
Is there any noticeable difference in ride quality (firmness, feeling every bump, etc) between the F-Sport in normal mode and the Luxury in normal mode?
Ideally I'd like to be able to compare them myself, but I've not been able to yet.

This is one of those questions that's rather useless to ask. It's very subjective and in the end, if you're really debating between the two, you're going to drive both of them yourself and decide what YOU like.

I've driven both the Luxury and the F Sport back to back.
The 3IS F Sport is only slightly more firmly suspended than the Luxury model in Normal Mode.
Personally, I prefer a soft ride - so normally, I avoid the F Sport.
However, the 3IS F Sport in Normal Mode is so supple riding, that I purchased the F Sport for my wife!
Theoretically, if the 3IS F Sport was more firmly suspended in Normal Mode like the 4GS F Sport, then I would have purchased the 3IS Luxury model, and added the F Sport grill...

but what i was made to understand is that at low speeds, its still harder than the Luxury trim (normal suspension).
i've driven both, and i find that the F sport still rides superb.
