Why would you pay 2020 GS?

I've had my 2015 for a couple years and am getting an itch again. My dealer offered me a fantastic trade-in on a 12k/mile a year lease of a 2020 Caviar/Rioja F-Sport (AWD) OR a 2020 Caviar/Rioja RC 350 F-Sport (AWD) Both are completely equipped so I am debating which one to get with around $9K in discounts on each. My wife just picked up a 2020 Mazda 3 AWD Premium so that takes care of passenger and cargo needs in case I choose the RC but I really like the GS in the color combo I mentioned. Decisions, decisions.
I got my '15 CPO'd and it is still in great condition but I am seeing the 2020 GS being a car I might want to keep for a while (as in buy out the lease) and the RC being a lease-only. I think I am tired of going through cars every two years.

We have like multiple dealers in our area so prices are better but color and options are not always the best. Also, our vehicles in CA are mostly RWD.

For a lease at $9K down, it's not a good deal. My local dealer quoted me $1K down before.

I had a blue 2017 GSF and I bought it used. It was a good looking car, but it handled like a truck and in heavy traffic, the transmission felt sluggish and hesitant. It had adequate power and sounded great. Also, the electronics were difficult to use and really somewhat outdated. In summary, it was just a real disappointment. Pretty car, but not a great performer.

Yeah. It was a good deal overall. Last of the GS year and the dealer is ready to clear floor space. Mine was still under plastic and straight off the truck when I first saw it. Picked it up with a whole 30 miles on the clock. Assuming that was post production test, receipt by dealer test (which mine does), my test drive, and gas fill before delivery
