Default Torque steer question

Lease is almost up on my 14 GS350 FSport and I was thinking of getting a RX.

How bad is the torque steer in either the RX350 FSport AWD or RX450H FSport AWD?

The 100% biased toward the front under normal driving conditions kinda worries me. I hated driving my wife’s previous 2010 RX.

I have the RX350 F sport AWD and the torque steer in very minimal. In fact I have to be paying attention and punching it to even notice.

Go test drive one. I detect little if any torque steer. Only time I think I felt it was cornering hard while accelerating hard.

Do not think it is an issue.

I have the 4 wheel drive version and haven't noticed any torque steer...

i currently own a 14 IS350 F-sport as my daily and the weekend fam cruiser is RX350 awd. I do agree with the comment below about how the torque steer is very minimal if any. I test drove the normal rx350 and did notice it much more. Again i was driving my IS350 on my way to the test drive so it was a night and day comparison of the two. I test drove the awd after the fwd so i noticed the difference between the three vehicles.
