2020 Lexus LC 500 Ownership review after one year of owning the LC 500. I have made multiple videos with my Lexus LC 500 as it continues to be one of my most favorite streetcars. See my 6-month owners review on my Lexus LC 500 here: • Lexus LC 500 Owner Rev...
I have also driven the 2021 Lexus LC 500 Convertible and many of the changes as well as other ownership items like the tires were covered in my previous LC 500 videos. I also did full reviews on my personal 2020 Lexus LC and the convertible version as well.

Out of all of your reviews to date, this one by FAR is my absolute favorite! 1. Maintenance - In addition to the oil changes every 6 months or 5000 miles, I also get the tires rebalanced. My ride stays silky smooth even when the treadwear gets low and it's time to change it out. 2. What Else Would You Get - I am right there with you! Build Quality/Cost of Ownership aside, Lexus is not the most superb vehicle on the road. However...it does everything really well and that speaks to me. It's like my condo here in the heart of Midtown Atlanta. No I'm not in the penthouse, but I'm in the building. #AmazingAdjacent ;-) 3. Cachet - You are absolutely right about the 0-60 times, many are more concerned about that then anything else, which is odd to me. How is driving a super fast car fun when you can only get through 2nd gear before the po-po is after you? I want to hear my engine sing through the gears, so a 'quick' car is more ideal than a 'fast' car. Secondly, I'd argue the Lexus brand cachet is pretty high. The nickname of the Toll Lane here is the 'Lexus Lane'; not BMW, Mercedes, Porsche, Audi, etc. Keep On, Keep'n On. :-)

After I pay off my rx 350 c/ pre-owned 2016; I will get this and give it to my son 17 years from now. This is a piece of functional art. Lexus has been the only company that inspires me to push myself to the next level in life. I would think most lexus owners feel a similar inspiration. It's not about glitz and glam other vehicles have. I feel Lexus hit a cord of tying their functionality with reserved power that higher concious driverers naturally get attracted to. It brings a level of inspiration to those who can see the wisdom of its design into the owners everyday life. Thanks for your discussion and allowing this to be a forum of Lexus inspiration.

Hey Kevin, About two weeks ago, I bought a 2021 LC convertible, largely based on your video reviews. Lexus should pay you a commission. I love this car for the same reasons you do. The interior is, as you say, bespoke. The naturally aspirated V8 will, I think, make the LC a future classic. The weight of the car gives it a very solid, grounded feeling. It’s just a delight to drive, and the sound is intoxicating. Please keep up the great reviews.

Just found your channel, love it subscribed. My wife and I just sold our business and I'm in a position to buy something nice. I was honestly this close to pulling the trigger on a new turbo s (275k) or the new Bentley GTC Speed (300k). I kept hearing about the LC, so I did a deep dive through KZfaq. Needless to say a month later I found an allocation near me for a 2021 convertible in infrared on caramel (113k), I can take possession in November and have happily put down the deposit. I couldn't be more thrilled and excited, saving 200k doesn't hurt either. The LC is an all-time work of art with a sound almost lost in modern times, I'm one of the lucky ones.

I love this review for the simple fact that you're so blunt and honest. No fluff. I myself have driven soo many cars and just trying to find what fits me as an automotive enthusiast. I've driven BMW's, Subaru's, Mopar's etc and now I finally have a GT-R. At this point in my life I'm looking at what makes sense from every aspect. The GT-R has superb performance but it lacks comfort and luxury. I guess I realized how much my taste is changing because while it grabs the attention of every fanboy I honestly prefer comfort and elegance. I miss the V8 sound of the challenger but that car lacks sophistication. I feel like the LC500 is the ultimate hidden gem where performance and luxury meet at a perfect median. Like you said, people who only care about status will overlook this car but a true auto enthusiast can see how this car is a perfect balance of luxury and performance. If I end up selling my R35 it would absolutely only be for an LC500. The more I look at these the more I'm tempted to switch over.

Great review. Full of realistic information. I can understand needing brakes at 30K if a car is driven hard, but rotors too? What about the people that buy it for comfort and style and seldom drive hard. I've had heavy cars in the past and they haven't gone through brakes at 30K. Non synthetic oil in a fine engine like this? That's crazy, even just from the fact when you turn off the engine the non synthetic begins to bake onto the internal engine parts, whereas synthetic doesn't. Non synthetic oil makes no sense to me in the time we're living in for anything other than an old junkie vehicle being driven into the ground.

@@MeynMotorGroup I see. It will get its value back up at some point like the LFA to a degree. Well the LC is the perfect car to me and Lexus nailed it. I completely understand how you feel about why people say 911 is better but they do not understand that Lexus LC was not designed as a sports car to drive on track but a sports car on the main road. 911 will be quicker, yes but on the road, 911 car has to respect speed limit, and will still be stuck in traffic like any other car. The Lexus has definitely put a lot of thoughts to these things. If someone wants to be a Lexus racing car, then GSF, RCF, ISF,, LFA would be adequate for this type of driving. As you know, I own the GS450h and I love my car and I am coming to the end of my 3 year lease, and I can buy the balloon and own it, or I can trade my car and go with another Lexus and you will be surprised but I am thinking ES300h as a replacement. I know it won't have the same amount of power but driving in London, I get stuck in traffic like any other cars, driving on the motorway it is 70mph speed limit, so why getting a faster car? Sometimes, I am thinking deeply (Am I getting old now??). If I had looked at ES300h specs a few years ago and see that the maximum speed is 118mph, I would have thought, well it has not got a powerful engine. But, now I am getting it. Lexus built this car for the main road not to speed. So the level of comfort is very much like LS. It is quite amazing and the look of this new ES is getting into me more and more... So I might get this one before Dec this year or I might go for RX450h... Hard choice!! Would I go elsewhere than Lexus? Well I can tell you now - NO!! I am definitely want another Lexus... My car has allowed me to appreciate Lexus truly for what it is and why they are truly special. It took me 2 1/2 years to come to this conclusion... Never late than never.

You described that so well! 911 is a faster car but in the real world it will be limited to the speed limit and sitting in traffic and the LC is just better in that environment while still having more than enough sports car DNA/Capabilities for the street. The sensations are what make the LC great and make you feel alive like that motor and interior. Yea RX450h is cool but I think if you want maximum efficiency the ES 300h would be more fuel efficient with real world MPG closer to 40 mpg vs 30ish mpg in the RX450h. RX will def be more practical tho but up to you my friend!

What do you think of the patent for a twin turbo V8 from Lexus? Going in the LSF, LCF, & maybe a new ISF?

@MeynMotorGroup 3 жыл бұрын

Yea we've been hearing about this for a while some days they say they've stopped production and a couple days later they say they will be producing a TT V8 car. I'll believe it when I see it but I've heard they will try and make their own dedicated sports car platform and not use the GAL platform the LC is on since it's too heavy for what they want to do. I think it's cool if they come out with it, will make a lot of spec sheet people happy thus improving Lexus image but to me turbo cars can never sound as good as their naturally aspirated counterparts but we will see what Lexus does

Yup my 2018 Lexus LS 500 had squeaky breaks and it was embarrassing, so embarrassing that I sold the car just because of it, for me driving up to a nice restaurant to park Valet and as your pulling up everyone is staring at you but you don't know if its because of your nice car or the breaks, I couldn't take it anymore, beautiful tho!

Finally!!! Commentary in a car review that's really honest. I agree whole heartedly with just getting what you like. If you're out for status and clout, then you're missing the point of driving any car or riding any bike. The same hold true for any customizing or modifying that you choose to do to your car, truck , or bike. Do what you like because it suits you and your own style. If other people like it that's cool, but it really doesn't matter because it's built for you not them.
