Downgrading from GS 350 F Sport to RW 350 AWD or F Sport
In March of 2019, I plan on trading my 2014 GS 350 F Sport for a 2017 RX AWD or F Sport. The GS is a great vehicle. I am getting older and don’t need a vehicle like a GS. Which vehicle does everyone recommend?

I wouldn't say you're downgrading. Some say the F Sport is not as comfortable for long trips. Ddepending on your needs I'd go F Sport. We went 450h lux, but we have to occasionally travel long distances with elderly parents aboard.

Awful to downgrade to an RX. Test the seat comfort in the FSport trim.

I would recommend the hybrid RX with either the Luxury Pkg or the sporty F-Sport. I went from a 2013 RX 450h to a 2016 RX350 Luxury Pkg and the 8 speed transmission is flawed. Lexus issued one TSB thus far but it did not correct the problem entirely. Test drove the 2018 RX350 and it was no better. One has to drive in Sport mode all the time to even get an acceptable shift.
