Default New F sport owner - thanks

Leased a GS F Sport last week. Starfire on Cabernet.



Already clocked 380 fantastic miles. I love the room in the cabin room (front seats), although the rears are a little tight. Don't think it'll be used much so that's not an issue.

ML audio is nice. On par if not better than HK alternatives. The mouse takes some getting used to but I think I'm getting the hang of it. I agree with some posters that the Nav could have been much better.

Rear view camera is good but I was surprised that the guiding lines doesn't curve when you turn. I was in a Toyota highlander and it impressed me.


The seats are awesome! I could drive forever in them. Look forward to a Vegas road trip!

Thank you all for helping make the decision a lot easier!

The color combo was what drew me initially to the GS350. Was considering a '14 E350 and A6 but ultimately, the interior of the GS sealed the deal.

Only concern was the thread about the 2014 GS improvements. Regardless, Im still happy with the decision.

The dealer I bought from had 2 loaded Starfire Pearls, one with Flaxem, the other in Cabernet.. it was a tough choice but I settled on Flaxen but it was a tough choice.

The White/Flaxen is a wonderful combination. The dealer made the choice easy since they did not have the White/Flaxen combo.

I was determined to have the White/Cab though and actually turned down a slightly better offer with another dealer to get this Combo.

I hope the Red leather holds up well over time.
