Does AWD Luxury have better ride comfort than F-Sport if both are on 20" rims?
Does AWD Luxury have better ride comfort than F-Sport if both are on the same 20" rims and stock suspension, or is the ride comfort only better on the Luxury because it has smaller rims than the F-Sport?

They say the F-sport has "F-sport tuned suspension" whatever that means. IMO and with relatively low miles in both RWD Lux & RWD F-sport, I find the ride about the same. Any change in the ride quality I would attribute to the lower profile tires of the F-sport.
The optional LDH on the F-sport & adaptive variable steering ratios does make the car feel different with steering, but not the ride.

Truth be told if I get out of an F-Sport and into a Lux I don't notice much of a difference anyhow.

Thanks. I'll probably go for a luxury since I want the most ride comfort with 20s as I can get. I suppose the less stiff suspension of the luxury will help with that.

This may be different for the 2015 and 2016, but for the 2013 and 2014 you can find threads on this topic.
I would say the tires would make the biggest difference for handling and ride, otherwise the versions are too close to tell the difference.

If you're not crazy about the additional performance aspects or styling of the F-sport, I recommend the Luxury. It's a great package and the seats are superb. Also your passenger will enjoy the same comfort as the driver.
I've driven them both back-to-back and don't really notice a ride difference, and that's the 18" of luxury with 45-series tires and 19" with 40-series on the F-sport.
If you really want a smooth ride above all else, ES and LS cater to that.

Tire sidewall and rim size what makes the ride comfortable and harsh. Simple as that. Specially since all the GS's are made on the same chassis and engine (not talking abt the GSF).
