I like the handling, especially in sport+ mode. steering tightened up, better throttle response, better acceleration, more rumble in exhaust.
I really like the sport seats, they hug you better. And heated steering wheel is really nice for winter, I have it on my 04 bmw, very nice to have on very cold days.
on a side note, only the perforated part of the steering wheel is heated on the 4rx, not the whole thing, which kinda sucks.

Nice ps, but I like the darker look better, its sportier and goes with the color of the body.

First, congratulations for the new car.

I have a question: Is Fsport louder than normal trim?

I like the exterior of F sport and AVS, however, I want a quiet car.
Can the rumble of exhaust be turned off?

Thanks

Amen. Doesn't it look great with that photoshopped lighter color? Gonna cost me $1000 to paint them.

i didnt test drive the regular rx but its still a quiet ride on the f sport compared to my fathers 2010 rx. i believe the f sport is in eco mode everytime u start the car. if u want sportier feel, then u can set it to sport+ mode.

The car starts in either normal or Eco mode for fuel ratings reasons.

I like the darker rims. Gives the F-sport a sportier and edgier look, while helping with hiding brake dust.

Hey Kang, hows the ride quality compared to the 2010? (going over bumps, and road imperfections? Any noises?
