Last week I got a 2wd RX as a loaner and drove it for 2 days (tested about 300+ miles). All i can say is i'm glad i spent the extra $$ for the f-sport. Why? F-Sport definitely handles a lot better on the ramp, more stable on the freeway, stiff steering wheel, and the car just takes off without feeling the lag. Also, the extra my infant, now 7 month, love the stiffer ride because it helps him sleep right away in the car compared to the loaner.

I was going to ask you what tint code and noticed you've updated your post. The picture looks like you have 20% film more than 30% film.

Picked up a loaded 2014 black F Sport 2 weeks ago. So far I am very impressed with the handling and features of this vehicle. Coming from a BMW X5, I can say that the ride of the RX is no where near as stiff or as bone jarring as the bimmer. It is also much more comfortable to drive in terms of the seats. My favorite features are the HUD and navigation system which is more advanced than I thought. It also seems to be very well put together, a testament to the Canadian plant where it was built.

Congrats BlackBerry. Always nice to hear how Lexus satisfies over the competition. Ditto to what Anita said about the pics

I guess the angle I took the picture makes the tint look darker than real. I did feel a bit too dark when I first had it. Now after half a year, I am used to it. It definitely makes the car cooler.

Sweet!!! And congrats again from the 3IS post to here as well! It's a great duo indeed.

It's easy to miss the "requirements" of this thread as it gets lost in past pages/posts. Here it is, if you can post - would be great as the "stats" get tallied up every few months. Thanks!

As the F-Sport is a model in its own right, who among us own an F-Sport and what are its features?

1) 3.5L or Hybrid
2) Exterior Color
3) Major features/options
4) Any modifications done
5) Gender and Age Group (M/F, 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, etc)

In addition to the objective points above, feel free to share any other points or experiences with your F-Sport.

Default 2014 RX F-Sport

Hello All,
Picked up last night my new 2014 Silver F-Sport. I had before that the 2011 450H.
I also have a 2013 GS 350. Been a long time Lexus owner, and prior to that Mercedes, Infiniti, Toyota, Nissan, etc...

Car is leased and was able to get out of my 2011 RX 450h about 8 months early
Since it is my wife's car, have not driven it too much until the weekend. So far the looks are amazing, just wish they added more HP to the truck.

The bow we could not keep, but my wife loves blue so I made sure when we showed up it at least had the blue bow on it

Just got her. My wife is very excited since it is a car she has always wanted. Well RX, not Fsport. The Fsport is just the cherry on top.

1) 2014 3.5L Fsport
2) Ultra White
3) Just the usual, I don't think there was a choice; e.g. navi, BSM, park assist, etc.
4) Not really, just the Lexus all weather floor mats
5) Early 30s for me, but for my wife she has no age :P

Sorry for the crappy picture. Great car.
