When we bought our 2GS, the original seller admitted to slipping on ice and having the entire rear quarter panel redone after he hit a pole - that car was perfect even without a certification so sometimes the risk is minimal especially in this case with the certification warranty.

Lots of great info and opinions on this thread. I've actually managed to pick up a few relevant pieces of info that I seemed to have missed during my own research. Here are some examples.

• FSport AWD - same size tires all around / no staggered
• FSport AWD - No larger brakes upfront / same brakes as any other GS
• FSport AWD - No rear steering
• FSport - Cost of Ownership is on par with regular GS

There is still the higher initial purchase cost. But overall, I believe the contents of this thread had just about addressed and cleared all my major concerns in regards to getting an FSport.

You could always buy the same sized wheels front and back for a RWD F sport but that will still cost money.
