From GS to RX
hi all,
i currently have a 2015 GS350 and absolutely love it. My lease is almost up and I am considering getting an RX. However, I am a little concerned that the RX is not very athletic. Is the F sport version any better? Anyone who had a similar transition care to share their thoughts? I really like everything else about it.

RX - more comfort. GS - more fun. Your choice I sit in traffic all day so I'm happy in comfort but of course when I leave for open roads out of the city, I know that I can't enjoy a tight corner or very spirited driving.

I recently made the switch from my 2015 GS to a 2018 RX350L. As everyone mentioned it is apples and oranges. If you want an SUV with a sportier drive you will have to go with the competitors. I was considering Q7. It had a nice blend of comfort and handling. In the end I chose reliability over sportiness.

did you try the f sport trim? I test drove the regular trim and was a little underwhelmed. The NX seemed to be more enjoyable but I didn’t care for the interior. There are sporty SUVs so I don’t accept the sedan vs SUV comment that others tried to make. I’ve had a Nissan Murano 10 years ago and the ride was quite enjoyable at the time.

It’s too bad they are going to discontinue the GS after 2019.
Hope you find the right fit for you!
Happy hunting.

I haven't tried the F-Pace yet but the Macan S was a level above the SQ5 for sure.

It makes my RX feel terrible. Lots of understeer and obviously slow acceleration.
