Best way to find out is to test drive it. Some may find it just right, others may find it too harsh.

But, yes it's certainly stiffer than the normal RX.

Are you saying the F is even harsher than the regular 3rd gen? It must ride like a buckboard!

Ah, the Goldilocks Conjecture.

I remember test driving a new Infiniti FX with the 20" wheel package when I was looking before deciding on a new RX330. If the F Sport rides anything like that they have gone too far. Was way too firm and harsh.

Yes, I'm comparing the ride between a 2010 RX450h (my brothers), and a friends 2013 F-Sport.

IMHO, they went too far, the suspension is way too stiff. I love the look of the F-Sport but I don't think I could live with the suspension. I would have been happy if they just added the cosmetic stuff on the regular RX and thew a F-Sport badge on it. LOL
