Can anyone compare "regular" RX350 to F-sport?

The pursuit of F
After much dithering, I ORDERED the RX350 with sport suspension, without ever test-driving one.
When I first drove it home, both DH and I were not pleased - it rode a lot harder than I expected. (Both of us have had spinal surgery, so ride quality was also important). I called up my salesman, and inquired about things to soften the ride. We were told springs, shocks, and tires. Probably $1500-$2k worth of changes.
I decided to live with it, and see how I adapted. At two years, I replaced the OEM Dunlops. That made a significant difference.

No, I don't play soccer!
Don't forget F-Sport comes with VDIM too. That's a nice feature to have in the snow as I can attest. I wouldn't call the steering heavy as the guy did in the video. I'd say tighter and more precise. Suspension, well it's not for everyone. But there's less body roll in turns. And I think it's better on the crappy roads by me.

Subjective with regards to looks, but I do agree with you on this one.
I hear you on the toys aspect, I'd call them gimmicks more than anything else, but that is just my opinion. Smart gimmicks but gimmicks nonetheless. You feel better (or more sore depending on the quality of your back, lol) about getting the same level of perfomance sans toys.
