I have a 14 F Sport and I find it quiet running 80 MPH on the highway. In fact the car is very quiet at cruising speeds and becomes much more throaty when you hit the throttle. Love the ride.

Was wind noise an issue with the 13s?

BTW, I have nebula pearl with a cab interior, power folding mirrors, and blind spot monitor. No power trunk.

Just got back from my road trip to Phoenix. The car is still very quiet running 80+ MPH. I listed for wind noise and none was noticeable.

Do you know if you have dual-planed windows?

not saying this applies to you, but a lot of members said they didn't hear wind noise on their '13 GS's either, even though it's a known problem. I guess it's in the 'ear' of the beholder. but who knows if they made a change to the '14, it's very possible.

BTW i only hear wind noise when i ride front passenger, comes from right around the b-pillar area. i don't hear it when i'm driving the car.

Absolutely no wind noise from my 2013, driving or riding.

The one-touch power trunk feature on the 2014 GS is a stand-alone option (to the tune of $400 as listed from Lexus).

Back to the OP, congrats on the purchase of your '14 F-Sport! I agree that the ultra white color certainly pops out a little more than starfire pearl

Thanks for reporting back on the wind noise. Glad to hear the '14 aren't having this issue, strange.
I have dual pane windows and I guess the wind noise sometimes bothers me but sometimes it doesn't. I recall a windy day at 70+mph and I definitely hear wind noise. Other than that its still pretty quite.
