I can agree the 8 speed transmission has not been perfected yet. I honestly hated it at first but got used to it. Sport mode eliminates most of these issues.
Also agree that the standard RX is not fun to drive at all, just comfortable!
What you are wrong about is the F sport. It most definitely has personality and handles better then the standard RX and is fun to drive for a crossover. It’s not going to handle like a BMW of course, but compared to the standard RX it looks and handles WAY better! Not a sports car of course but it is sporty if you compare it to the standard RX. it drives like a different car from the f sport wheels and AVS suspension. If you push it around corners and do the same on a base model you will feel the difference. I had a GS and the standard RX was too much like a boat and boring for me. The f sport satisfies comfort and performance for me! Go take a nice long test drive in each, don’t let personal opinions steer your decision.

I bought a 2019 350RX 2 weeks ago. Fully optioned with Luxury package. Everything about the car is good, except that it has the drone&vibration issues. I'm not very happy about this. I'm going to have the dealer apply the TSB, but I'm not hopeful. I test drove it extensively and didn't see any problems until about 200 miles later. Be careful and good luck!

Wow, you are really having issues with drone? Do you have the F sport package? I have not yet had the opportunity to go and test drive as work has been extremely busy. Curious to hear if they do anything for you and get the drone and vibration taken care of.

The dealer has ordered the center exhaust replacement. They'll swap it in when it arrives. I'll keep you guys updated. I was told that it's only a mitigation. I don't have high hopes after reading the Drone&Vibration thread. I hope it doesn't get worse.
