My first Lexus was a leased 2010 IS 350. Great car. Recently, I leased a new 2014 IS 350 F-Sport AWD. Even though the engine and transmission are the same on the new IS, the handling is much improved. It feels like an entirely new beast. The Sport+ mode is so much fun. The adjustable suspension makes all the difference. My preference would have been for the non-AWD version to get the 8 speed transmission, as I can only imagine that it takes the car to another level. If you like to drive, the F-Sport package is non-negotiable. I also agree with other comments here that the styling of the F-sport is better.
