Nice review. Thanks for posting corrado. I didn't know AWD is standard in Canada. Was there anything you think the review overlooked or that you disagreed with?

Honestly, this review is spot on. The small critique regarding the Remote Touch, slightly low rear bench and lack of rear seat heaters is fair and applicable to all RXs. He wasn't critical at all regarding the ride comfort and noticed and liked the improved handling. As he mentioned, it's no IS, but I can throw the RX F-Sport on the curves nearly as quick as my IS and the paddle shifters/8-speed auto add to the fun factor.

Yep, in Canada, as far back as I can recall (all Gens), RX only AWD in Canada.

Thanks for posting, actually looking into a F sport myself. Not to high jack your thread but would you know what kind of discount would be expected?

Thanks corrado. I thought you might have a few things to add being an early adopter of the F-Sport. But apparently the review covered the bases. And yes, rear heated seats would be nice. We can dream.

rwong, we have a pricing thread to at least give you an idea of what kind of discount to shoot for. It's pretty much been around 10%, give or take, over the years. Good luck in you search.
