I don't know if the f sport is worth the extra money. The RX is so heavy in general that there is nothing sporty about it. I really want to like it but I am having hard time. I wish it was a little lighter. I think you can do much better in that price range with another brand if you want something more exciting.

RX350 F sport is not a sporty crossover, it's all looks. If you want a sporty crossover, consider the Euros: X3,X4, Stelvio, F-pace, Q5 etc. They all will embarrass an f sport RX in driving dynamics, RX is slow and has enormous body roll when compared against the competition. The RX350 strength was never in driving dynamics, consider the f sport package as simply an appearance package despite the underpinnings. RX shines in driving comfort, that's where it outshines the competition.
The SO's new RX is 3 weeks old and i think it's a great car for commuting, just not disillusioned to think it's a good driver's car.

Driver's car is all a matter of preference. If you want sporty, it could mean track or off-road sportiness. The RX is a commuters car: comfortable and reliable. On a highway or road trip I'd take the RX over any of the Euros you listed. It's about using the right tool for the job.

Macan and F-Sport owner here. F Sport's suspension in S+ mode does a pretty good job of controlling body roll, even when taking corners aggressively. The lack of rear-bias (even with the weak rear electric motors powered during turns) is what kills it around corners.

1 main reason I would go with the RX over most euros is reliability. I understand that most other cars would provide a more thrilling driving experience but in terms of what repairs and longevity would look like 10 years from now, i would rather fix the RX over a X series BMW. I appreciate all the input though, just trying to get the best deal i could especially when spending close to 60K

I don't know if RXs are as reliable as people perceive them to be. My early built 2016 has had oil seepage, A/C gargling noises, jumpy transmission, and now is in the shop for clicking/rocking driver seat. These are not catastrophic issues, but issues nonetheless. What it wins over German counterparts are the costs in repairs. I like the RX, but will not buy early production 1st year model again.

How does it hold up against the weather up here in WA? iIm planning to head to the dealer in seattle if they are willing to match some pricing with portland. Thanks for the advice from earlier though, seems that portland was more willing to deal with pricing as you said but i like the model in seattle a bit better. i have yet to test drive and would like to know just an overall feel and what to look for or expect. thanks!

Would love some feedback to see if you would do this deal -
Dealer offering to buy my 2016 RX 350 with 20k miles and sell me a new 2018 RX 350 F. I'm looking to get it down to a $11700 drive out which would include $5000 dealer+mfg cash incentive built in. Obviously there can be some push/pull on the numbers but it's roughly a 15% discount off MSRP before rebates.
What I want to know is, would you pull the trigger on such a 'deal'? The main pros would be new car with 4 miles on the odometer, F sport upgrades including better looking grill. Biggest con for me is that my 2016 is a Japan build, and while I believe that the Canada plant is supposed to be just as good, I still trust the Japan build more.
Look forward to your feedback!
