I don't want a lot for Christmas. But all I want for Christmas is a Lexus RC F

Lexus is the best. You can talk about the interior, styling, blah, blah, that's preference, the performance on average isn't quite that of the German brands, but the reliability is the best in the industry and to me that matters, even if these aren't necessarily the kind of cars you buy once and then drive into the ground. In the future I will only buy Lexus/Toyota as long as their continue to lead the industry in reliability.

Great time to be alive. Great American, German, Italian, Japanese, and Korean cars! There's something for everyone!

Lexus obviously keeps the traditional automatic and the proven engine for the sake of reliability. The Germans cars are better off the lot, but they aren't going to be anywhere remotely close in terms of repair costs after 200k miles, where it's likely the Lexus won't need a single repair.

Lexus is still one of the best luxury brands in my opinion. Not only do they have good luxury features, but they're reliable compared to most other luxury car brands. Yeah the interiors may sometimes be overused at times, but reliability is one of the good selling points for any car I buy. I mean you do have Acura which also is reliable, but Lexus even more so. I hope Toyota keeps investing lots of money into the Lexus brand and keeps making good cars in the long run.

ANYTIME this guy reviews a Lexus I get nervous about watching the video. 1) " Interior reminds me of a Toyota " - Please enlighten us ! WHAT Toyota interior looks like this ? ( New Toyota interiors are pretty nice ) I would wish a Toyota interior looked like this 2) " A black sheep of the Family " " This is a Lexus are you kidding me " - So what are the ISF, GSF and LFA ? What is wrong with this guy? Stop calling this the black sheep when theres ISF and GSF running around on the street. 3) " A middle finger to all the Lexus hybrid drivers or ES and RX " - Are you serious? The ES, RX and Hybrid cars are excellent cars. Why would this Lexus be a middle finger to other Lexus cars? Its a Middle finger to other brands that think Lexus only makes Luxury soft cars. 4) " The LFA no one can afford " - So your gonna discredit the LFA because its expensive? Tons of rich people brought the LFA. Do you discredit Lambos, Ferrari's and porsche ? MOST people cant afford those either but because its a Lexus your writing it off instead of talking about how great the LFA was? The LFA beat all lambos and Ferraris at the time. 5) " All the Lexus in the past were fucking boring " - When did making super nice Luxury cars become a negative thing ? This guy is wrong. The SC300 with the Manual was fun car to drive. The IS300 5 speed manual which has a cult following is a great car to drive. The V8 GS300 1999 won Motor Trend sport sedan of the year and it was also the fastest automatic sedan on the road back them. The 2006 IS350 was the most powerful car in is class when it came out. It was faster then the V8 Audi sedan. It was also names the best Japanese Sport sedan. It clocked a 0-60 of 4.9 back in 2006 and was being called a rocket sport sedan. 6) " Toyota/Lexus tons of boring cars " - EVERY manufacture outside of exotic makes normal everyday cars. Even BMW makes certain boring models. When you drive outside how many normal boring cars do you see ? Those are what sale those cars are what makes companies their money.. the normal boring cars. Cars like this dont bring company a boat load of money. I can appreciate a Corolla, altima and boring Civic and I can appreciate the RCF and M4 just as much. Anyway. Love the RCF. Has the Looks sound and performance. Its a winner for sure. Also other reviews said the RCF has great handing... this is the first time i have seen someone call it numb.

I didn't like the RCF when it first came out, but it has grown on me and aged well. Like the new lights up front for 2019 too.

Give a Man a Lexus He'll never Walk for life Give a man a BMW.. He'll Walk for a lifetime. Reliability King ❤️ Lexus

Honestly, I think that this thing looks way more beastly than the C63

Lexus is killing it, man so sexy sound amazing, and it looks properly aggressive well done Lexus in making a legitimate M4 competitor.

I love that V8. Reliable and it sounds so good!!😍😍😍

I say it looks fine, I see nothing wrong with the body style of this car but the massive oversteer this have and how heavy this beast is

Lexus is my number one pick! I'll have a RCF January of 2019. This car will out last ALL its competitors! This is a amazing V8 exciting car!

I own a 15 rcf white with red interior, i love it. The issue that they have is the fuel pumps which are covered with warranty. Besides that its very reliable and fun to drive.

That 5.0L N/A V8 sounds is like a food to your ears. i love it

Just started working for Lexus. Your reviews have provided me with some extra material to refer to. Thanks!

I'm glad Lexus still makes an NA V8, this and long-term reliability are the only things it has going for it

3:02 "looks like it's going to eat you" 😂😂😂😂😂 I'm dead

This dude always slams Toyota... its getting annyoing just stop

I’d take this over the Cadillac ATS-V and the BMW M4

If the RC F had a manual option, it would have been one of my favorites.

i wish i could have this beautiful car. I had to settle for the IS250. Keep talking bad about it so it can depreciate for me. I dream of owning an RCF. It's the most beautiful interior in my opinion

that car is going to literally eat me, i mean c'mon its not over styled at all. I WANT THAT CAR SO BAD

RCF stands for Really Cool & Fast

Your attention to detail is second to none

Lexus>Infiniti>Acura

The RC F is my favorite "F" model so far, but i also want an LFA, because, who wouldn't it's a freakin street formula one car!

I absolutely love my RC F

This is like the affordable budget LFA, lol. I've also heard this car shares a couple unimportant parts with the Toyota 86 so that's cool.

I personally think this car looks great, I've seen a couple of them on the road since they've gone sell and they look really good, shit, even the normal 350 F-Sport looks great, the problem is Americans are too goddamn conservative, and any car that dears to play outside the grounds of the norm gets ridiculed.

to me the design of lexus is superb. I like almost every model of lexus except the es which in my opinion looks too tame. The thing I like about lexus the most is ironically the grill area. Lexus could have easily copy and pasted a grill design from another car company, but they had the balls to create a different design unlike any other. Of course with such a radical design most will shy away from it but isn't that the reason for buying a luxury car? to have a automobile that is different from the rest?

The Camaro SS & Lexus RC-F ARE MY DREAM CARS

I absolutely love this channel. All I want for Christmas is a reply from Sofyan himself.

11:38 : yes, "consumers want apple carplay and Android auto"... Whatever, Lexus and Toyota figured out that those programms are huge safety risks in terms of private safety, and car system safety. The consumer want them, but they don't understand that a good hacker can track their every move and record their words with those two products. If they knew that, they would probably re-think this love.

18:13 - The 90 seconds following this point is exactly why you buy this car. It provokes a raw and visceral response from you, and you can't put that on a spec sheet. You really have to drive this car yourself to appreciate it.

What's up with this guy calling Lexus boring? Other brands have non performance vehicles. Why call out Lexus?

5.0! That engine is the reason I would get this car! Did you hear that shit???

I wonder what do people think about RC-F vs older IS-F design (interior & exterior) and performance?

Wondering why you've never reviewed the RC 350 F Sport? It seems to address a lot of the issues that you had with the ES 350 that you otherwise liked.

You do great informative videos but I rarely make it to the end there just so boring

“There are some things that are old, things that remind me of a toyota”. Shit I wish old Toyota’s had this interior!

I think this car is gorgeous and when I own mine it will be this same beautiful shade of blue with the red interior. It will be my “Spider-Man Coupe”. 🙏🏽👌🏾

definitely my next car I love lexus especially the rcf who dont want a v8 lol

Love my RCF. It turns heads and hauls ass in the corners.

There is remote start through the keyfob. It's connected through the Enform Remote subscription. You would press the lock button 3x, holding the last press until the car starts.

I love the way you review cars! From the cadence at which you speak to how you give your honest opinion on cars rather than just spewing out details robotically. Keep up the good work!

If you haven't driven an LS model Lexus, you haven't driven a Lexus. The LS line is long, mean and luxury. Not sporty looking, but very fast and very sleek.

Can't wait to see what the next generation is going to be like!!

I will take the RC F for long term ownership. This is a fun car with an NA V8 that you can actually drive places and have it last a long time. BMW, Audi, Merc, etc... are all going to cost a lot more money over long term ownership due to expensive maintenance. Also, get the red or whitish interior and it looks much newer and nicer. The black just looks boring.

Car looks great and will still look modern 20 years from now, great review. .."Yeshua (Jesus Christ) is the way"

Such a beautiful car!

2023 that interrior has not been upgraded what a shame its the one thing stopping me from getting this car

AMAZING LOOKING CAR

Bought a 2015 rc f in Dec I adore her no regrets I’m keeping it 4ever so gorgeous and fun

I test drove a Lexus RC 350 awhile back and it was fine, I thought it was a pretty nice vehicle. I would still probably go for a German car but I think anyone buying this would be pretty satisfied with it. The exaggerated looks actually work for this car. The upcoming LC 500 is gorgeous though and that should put Lexus back in the game for sure.

Since when did a modern NA V8 become a dinosaur of an engine? Literally the best kind of engine a car can have...

That V8... Yeah buddy

Everyone trashes Lexus for some reason. They make good reliable cars, that look good. Everyone bashes their appearances, but they will last longer than most other cars on the road. And no one ever brings that up in video reviews. You just talk about design and how it drives. Not how reliable it will be. And that's what consumers will mainly want instead of it looking perfect and having the perfect materials. People want a car that will last them a long time, and Lexus provides that with most of their cars. And don't compare everything to other cars, just brings down peoples views in an otherwise great vehicle to own.

13:59 the seats actually detect if they hit anything and will stop and move forward about a half an inch or so.

So he acts like it's first time he's heard that exhaust note but then says he's taken it on the track to drive. I'm beginning to question the authenticity of these reactions.

love your shows

This is a better option than an M4 if you want to actually drive it and not have it being fixed at the dealer half the time.

i would suggest using a polarizer for your camera for filming cars in the day it would get rid of alot of the reflections that distract the watcher from the subject

What's with the Christmas music lol unfitting with such an aggressive car lol

Where are all the Lexus fan at

Someone should make a compilation video of Sofyan being impressed by test driving sweet cars.

Sofyan, Lexus could've brought back the IS-F for it to compete with the BMW M3, Audi S4, and the Mercedes Benz C63 AMG.

RC-F is not a bad car (very good car imo) but the fact you can buy 2 new Camaro SS's for the price of one RC-F (using prices on cars.com) speaks to how amazing the Camaro SS is in terms of value. The Camaro SS is also faster so that's another bonus lol.

Does this model not have the automatic adjustable seats?

@ 2:13 - Seriously people thought this car was ugly!? What do they find pretty? the obnoxious RX, the hideous LX, the atrocious UX? C'mon people, this was one of Lexus's best designs. I get it, the predator grille IS NOT for everyone, but this was, by far, their best implementation of it unlike their SUV's!

LC500 will probably be even better

I don't care about competition, for $83k canadian and performance pack included I would buy this. Just because it's a lexus and you can have fun with it without breaking it and sending it to the shop.

I'm still looking for the song shazam wont pick it up properly

Overall your review is very good, but I do have a few points of constructive criticism if you don't mind: 1. The RC F does come with a heated steering wheel, but it is included in the "All-weather Package." Your test vehicle clearly did not have that package, so it would be wrong to flat out say that the RC F does not have it while the RC 350 does. 2. Like another commenter stated, you use terms like "feels like a Toyota" and refer to the car as a "hodge-podge" or "Frankenstein" of car parts, which should be avoided. If it feels like a Toyota to you, please give more detail explaining why and what could/should be improved. You just state that it does, but that's it--without any explanation at all. And when people talk about the RC F being a "hodge-podge" or "Frankenstein", they make it seem as if random parts were slapped together and the individual parts can easily be seen or differentiated, implying that the car is "ugly" in visual or performance aspects. It is quite clear that the chassis is put together very well. The lines flow beautifully and the handling of the car is excellent. It is definitely not the best-handling car out there, but it also isn't coming apart at the seams simply because the chassis is derived from different cars in the Lexus lineup. You also refer to the RC F as a "hodge-podge" in your video review of the GS F, but can you honestly say that the RC F chassis isn't as sturdy as that of the GS F? If you can't, then you should not continue to refer to the RC F as a "hodge-podge" of car parts, as it is in bad taste. 3. Your review is first I have seen that has actually complained that the trunk space is too small! Compared to other 2-door coupes, the RC F trunk is massive and very practical! But yes, if you compare it to the trunks of 4-door sedans, it will be smaller. In the future, it would be wise to compare 2-door coupes to other 2-door coupes and 4-door sedans to other 4-door sedans when it comes to criticizing potential flaws. Again, your review overall is very good. I have owned the car for almost 10 months now, and I agree with your criticisms in areas where Lexus can improve. Keep up the good work, and I hope you consider some of my suggestions to improve your future video reviews!

The only real downside is the chassis hybrid construction. A dedicated chassis is arguably the only reason why it weighs about the same as the RX350. On a comfort biased coupe it wouldn't be a big problem, but on a small sport coupe directly aimed at a M4 or C63, yes it is a big problem.

When I retire in five years end of 2026 this might be my go too or a 2021/22 Toyota supra 3.0 premium ! Gonna be fun comparing them ! The fact the the Toyota is basically a BMW is a major factor with dependability. So far everything I’ve seen on KZfaq saying that’s not a problem

Hey sofyan, I really enjoy your review videos, when do you think you would get your hands on a Dodge Durango?

This, Is. My. Dream. Car.

If the car was lighter it would be alot faster than it is, but man this car is sexy as hell and has preety good performace, but i would not get the interior in that color. But keep up the good work redline, i love watching yall's videos.

I wish lexus offered it with a 6 speed manual, I’d buy one.

18:23 when Sofyan lets off the throttle and the engine sounds mean in a way.

Nice Review Bro

This guy talks about how Lexus is different from 'one chassis' german manufacturers, yet still complains. A VW Vento is the same as the Audi A3 underneath. Skoda Superb shares the same skeleton with the Audi A6. Lexus stands out by manufacturing every component of their cars just particularly for Lexus and they dont share it with Toyota. Toyota LC & the Lexus LX look alike but if you cant tell the difference you are ignorant. No one should be buying the Cayenne instead of the Touareg in that case. From Dougs review on the LC500 I found out that most of the screws even on that Lexus has 'lexus' engraved on them. MIND = BLOWN

Can you tell us the next couple of cars you're getting to test? Also big fan of this channel!!

Nothing to hate here. I love it too.

I really don't agree with the interior is boring and all previous lexus cars are boring.People complained before that Lexus design was too subdued.Now that Lexus has gone all out with a radical look people are complaining again.And the interior reminds you of a Toyota? Which Toyota has an interior like this dafuq?.Seriously please be more original in your reviews instead of just jumping on the bandwagon with the Lexus hate.Its an amazing car with an aggressive design.Nothing wrong in being different.

Da lights of da RC are squinting so hard that if the M3, Ats, or C63 were to go inside the lights, they'd be squishded. I am an LFA fanboy, but I lo ve this car.

Strengths: Still looks good, ages well, sounds amazing, well-built Weaknesses: Overweight, not a great performer or a great value in this class Verdict: A Lexus for Middle America. If you don't care about 0-60 times and skidpads, this is your ride.

Regarding the camera that's placed by the passenger side A pillar; is it mounted on a gimbal?

Awesome Review

Ok, youtube bans use of copyright music, but... Isnt there better free use music for youtubers?

He punches it has he pulls out with 470 plus HP and didn't expect the tire to break loose.

Tip: Use a scooter to take a video going around the car. The fast jittering and the unsteady motion makes that particular portion of the video very amateur. And slow down, it's not a roller coaster. It's much easier on the eyes to do one slow 360 walk around, than 5 tornadoes around the object. It's also why rotating floors at car shows take their time, not spin like a laundry spin cycle.

My friend has one of these, I rode in it, it's so fasssst

Getting a lil motion sickness with you recording with the camera in hand, would be cool if you can mount the camera or keep it stationary or pan slowly.

It's the Lexus version of a Mustang GT at double the price :)

please stop pretending you'd know this car was 3 different cars if someone didn't tell you that...

do you have anymore retro reviews lined up. I love the Miata one, would love to see a celicia GTS(saw the gt version review) and Integra

A boring luxury brand? No more boring than Mercedes or Audi. The comparisons between Lexus and Toyota are rather tedious. Audi's are just VW's. This Lexus is an amazing car.
