Nice wipe i picked up a 2016 GS -F sport a few months ago CPO. so the only difference between the f-sport package and the luxury package
is the badging and the instrument cluster

Ride quality is worse. Tires are more expensive. Rims are more expensive to replace. There is just no up side to me.

thanks man
the arm rest in the back has those controls and shades on back doors. I think the intake sound is more prominent on the Fsport.

I can tell I little bit more with these tires being 40's now but barely. Even in sport+. I hear what your saying though, I was test driving LS's but didn't find one right for me.

There are some other nice features on the luxury trim as well, such as semi-analine leather, more adjustable seats, etc. F Sport has more aggressive AVS, bigger brakes (RWD), available rear wheel steering, etc. Both are great choices.

is it a fact that the AVS is more "aggressive" in the F sport? If yes, how so?

This video explains it (note the discussion of AVS starts at about 8:45, with the difference between luxury and F Sport around 10:00):

Boomin, have you noticed a "tick" from driver side vent area left of steering wheel? Almost like plastic tapping plastic? I hear it going over seams in the road mainly at highway speeds. I've had two dealers try to cure it but no luck yet. I bought mine new and this is my only complaint.
Thanks

hmm not yet, I keep an eye out for that but I did notice my arm rest make a bit more noise than the other GS before and I'm trying not to let my knee leaning on center console to hold my body weight making left turns or door when making right turns. My last GS was creaking all the time so I'm noticing I'm holding the steering wheel for dear life haha on this one.
