For me it was between the Premium and the Luxury. Never really considered the F Sport.

1. You get LED fog lights. These are very bright. Premium package gets halogens.

2. Bi-Xenon Hid Adaptive Front Lighting. These make your headlights turn and light up the area you are going. Bi-Led headlights if you get the GS450h Luxury.

3. Luxury package seat has all of the adjustments that the Fsport has but also has two adjustments that Fsport does not have. One allows you to adjust shoulder blade portion of the seat and the head rest can also be adjusted too. (Luxury has side bolster adjustments too)

4. Three memory seat position for BOTH driver and passenger seats.
Fsport can only remember the drivers seat.

5. Rear manual sun shades for passenger windows. The Fsports do not get these.

6. The luxury package also gets wood steering wheel. I personally prefer all leather steering wheel. The wood scratches too easily.

7. Rain sensing windshield wipers. Very useful feature.

8. Double pane front driver and passenger laminated window glass. This feature makes the car have no wind noise.
At first I though this came with cold weather package but my cousin has the fspot with cold weather package and his windows are not double pane. His car is louder than mines at highway speeds.

Worth mentioning is I own a 2014 GS350 luxury and my cousin owns a 2013 GS350 fsport and we swap rides all the time. He likes my car when driving far and going on vacation driving trips. And I like his car better when I am carving the mountain roads. My cousin told me he was very suprised how great the handling of my Luxury in Sport+ mode is compared to his fsport in sport+. I feel that his car gets the handling edge due to his rear steer. But to him he can hardly tell the two apart. We both take our cars to the track. And its only on the track that we feel the fsport handled better.

Also the Cabernet leather is only available In Fsport versions. So if you have to get an fsport might as well go for Cabernet.

Like what another member was saying. Get the luxury version and convert the front end to the fsport version. Get the led foglights and install it onto the fsport bumper, its truly plug and play because wire harness and hardware is already there.

Then buy a big brake kit and have it installed aftermarket brakes are way better than oems that squeak and squeal. Get aftermarket rims with staggard setup. Lower the car with Rsr downs.

Now you have every feature of the Luxury package plus the looks and handling of the fpsort. Everying installed on the fsport can but upgraded on the luxury version of the car but you CANNOT upgrade the fsport to have all the features of the Luxury package.

Some members of this forum has done exactly this.
