Makes me wonder how many people have got to experience a 350 F-Sport RWD.... maybe I'm just an easy person to please, but it hits all the buttons for me. Only thing I wish it had was more lower end, but I knew that beforehand. Its everything I expected, wanted, and more.
I drove an FSport 200t as a loaner one time, and I might ruffle some feathers, but it did not feel anywhere near the same as my 350 FSport.. Obvious difference in power, but a big difference in suspension feel as well.

I guess I'm a total outlier here, because in my search I test drive 2 RWD 350 F-sports in addition to AWD ones. I honestly didn't feel much of a difference. I was expecting to feel a big difference, which was why I was holding out for a RWD one (they are much harder to find in my area). After driving two RWD ones, I felt I wasn't robbing myself of anything by getting an AWD one. I love my AWD, I can stomp the gas when its raining and the car just goes. No slipping at all. I'm wondering how it will do in the snow this winter.

I haven't gotten to drive or ride in a 300 AWD though.

Most likely is the AVS. I drove a friend's 2015 350 F Sport RWD (when I was visiting the US), and the only difference I noticed was that you could get the back end to slide out. Strangely even with the 8 spd (vs my 6 spd), I felt that my 2018 350 F Sport AWD was a little more punchy. Doubt it's the extra 5 hp lol. Could be just that mine is brand new and his has about 70k miles. I don't know.

Another thing that makes me feel better I picked the AWD is the heated steering wheel option. Just a complete blunder by Lexus to exclude heated steering wheel from RWD models on the F-Sport.
