Funny how each person views a vehicle. He describes the " RX felt surprisingly nimble and agile" and that's on a non F sport. That is not how I would describe it. This is one of the things I find very disappointing and that's having an F sport...Maybe the regular ones handle better than an F sport. The body roll is excessive, the steering is vague and provides almost zero feedback. I could not agree that the ride is harsh on an F sport due to stiffer suspension and 20" tires. I didn't know that the regular RX had "meaty" tires and the sport "thin" tires. I thought they both had 235mm xx xx
The lack of padding in an F sport seat is to hold you in because between the body roll and flat seats you slide from side to side.
Don't get me wrong, I enjoy my RX and would recommend it as a vehicle to consider. It does many things very well and is reliable. It is "not a sports car wannabe" in any form, nor does it pretend to be. After 4 different RX's, I do find that the 4th gen one is the best yet.

I think if the writer had tested one of the many that have vibration, drone and hesitation issues the review would be very different.
It irritates me to no end when this car gets a positive review, COME TEST DRIVE MINE....

The "Regular" is a 450h. By default it is equipped like a 350 luxury package. So we cannot compare to the 350 premium package...
