You, sir, are a master at your art. Now THAT'S what you call a car review. If I saw this review in the movie theater, I would have given it a standing ovation. From your camera angles, video quality, music selection, to your voice.. Everything is perfect. I will never buy the cars you review, but I will always watch your reviews. Thank you, Savagegeese.

Just got one too a 2016, same color as the video. Love it so far, gives you a good balance of luxury and sports car at a great price. And if infotainment is a big deal to you just get a kit that allows you to have apple CarPlay or android auto, probably around $800 and can still use the same interface.

Lexus does not make "Sport Cars", they make luxury performance vehicles, that's what makes them special. It won't be until ppl can understand that, that they'll be able to appreciate a lexus. Even if it has an F-Sport Badge, doesn't make it a Sport Car.

Late comment but here. What you said is true, however thats the problem. For example when you think about it, the lc, gsf, rcf are the same car. But the difference in the praise they get is laughable. Its because the lc competes in the luxury perfomance coupe class AS A LUXURY PERFOMANCE COUPE. The gsf competes in the luxury perfomance sedan class AS A LUXURY PERFOMANCE SEDAN. The RC/RCF competes in the sports car class......... as a luxury "grand tourer".

@@ronanthony5654 I have a 2016 Mini Cooper 3D Hatch in the Sport trim. It's only a 4 cylinder turbo charged engine, does not produce more than 189HP. But it's one damn fun little car to drive because of the way it rides and the way it manages to use its power in the right way. To me, it's not a sports car, there are other modified models like the JCW that are more sporty/performance. My S-Model is more of a Luxury Performance Vehicle because of the package I chose. It gives me HP, Torque, good ride, handling and a big smile...

The RC350 F sport is a phenomenal car! Espically the daily driving! About traction settings I was able to turn of the safety control and the pre-collision system control off by holding down the traction off button until the gauge says that the precolliision system is off. I think that doing that really let you feel true driving, however, the weight can be a disadvantage sometimes if you want to kick the rear end out and if you want a faster 0-60, however, this car was clearly made to be the best overall daily driver sport coupe! It's reliable, energetic, comfortable, safe, fun, and looks gorgeous!

@@eVerProductions1 Well it comes down to practicality vs performance at that point. The RC 350 is a better engineered car because it combines 3 different cars into one(the old IS coupe, the 3rd gen IS 350, and the GS) but if you use those rear seats a lot then I would say go with the IS but if you only want a daily driver with decent practicality then go with the RC. Also if you want to sell your car in the future then I recommend the RC because they have a higher value compared to the IS. Both cars are amazing but personally I would take the RC because I fell in love with how it drove the very first time I drove it and till today I have not been disappointed with how it drives and how it performs, the weight can be a disadvantage in a straight line but it makes up for it in how smooth and comfy the car is.

Eligio, I’d go for this car. It’s more luxurious than the TLX. I have the RC 300 F Sport. I couldn’t afford a 350 with the F Sport. But I test drove an IS 350 and it was a bit more responsive. Mine has been good so far. For the turbo, I drive it in manual mode using the actual stick shift (not the paddles) in order to get a quicker response. It holds its revs in sports mode and the handling is awesome (for me), especially coming from a Camry XSE to the RC 300 F Sport. The steering wheel also tightens in Sport+. I don’t feel like my car loses composure on aggressive turns (unlike my previous sedan). Also, you have five different drive modes: Eco, Normal, Sport, Sport+ and Custom. Mine is a 2019. It has very good voice control and Apple CarPlay. The mouse pad is a bit annoying if you try using it while driving. But it works well enough in setting things up before you take off. I use Apple CarPlay for my radio needs. That works well during driving. So set everything before taking off. If you need something, talk to the car. It’s got Alexa and Siri. Some other positives: The lighting in my car is sensory sensitive. You do not need to touch it. Just hover your hand near the lights and they turn on. I also love the layout of the cup holders vs the mousepad. Compared to the IS it’s a relief. The IS layout gets in the way since your hand has to go over the cups in order to get to the mouse. But different folks = different strokes. Test drive the TLX and this one. I just feel the Lexus is more luxurious.
@odugs
@odugs 4 жыл бұрын
Eligio C. Yes it does! But let me clarify that! The RC350 is more responsive than the RC300. The RC 350 is rated on the Lexus website as going 5.8s from 0-60. The RC 300 is 7.3s for the same measurement. When I test drove both, I definitely felt the difference but I was not measuring 0-60 in my test drive. I looked for what I consider, real world events. When I approach a ramp, I want to merge with confidence that I can accelerate reasonably well and merge without hoping that I do not get rear ended. I also test to see that if there is someone in front of me, I can immediately enter the fast lane, overtake and then get back in the slow lane. Finally, I want an initial take off speed. Sometimes, when you’re new to an area, you end up in the wrong lane. On a traffic light, if your car is up to it, you could hit the pedal and legally cross over, before others. Of course, after properly indicating. I want a vehicle that can do these things, confidently. The RC350 can, always. The RC300 can, sometimes. Because the RC300 has turbo lag. Manual mode helps to get more confident but that extra little second is there. I suggest trying out the cars of interest to you and envisioning daily driving with your most aggressive style. I’m okay with coming last against anyone trying to race me on the highway. It just means I don’t need to overtake them. I just need great handling and fine enough responsive power. The RC350 can deliver that. The RC300 I feel, handles slightly better than the 350 (but the 350 still felt agile) but lacks in immediate power requirements.

The first sensical review I've seen of the RC350. I once owned an AWD, non F-sport, RC350. GREAT car! It's very underrated, quite fast, fold down rear seats give it some practicality, 21 mpg in mostly city driving, and the AWD is incredible in any wet driving conditions. The only downside is a lack of (waste of) interior space, enough cupholders etc. I miss mine!

Don't know if anyone said this already but I got this model a year ago and just realized the a/c needs to be on to some degree in order for there to be more air pressure and cool air going into the seat! No separate a/c unit which seems great from a reliability standpoint. Guess they assume you'll run the a/c when you need the seat cool but not always the case! Also had the power lumbar go out a month after the 60 mo warranty expired and lexus covered the part cost when i called to ask them for assistance. It was like $1000 wild

idk about the RC but on the IS there is an ac vent under the seat which can be directed into the seat ventilation which gives you proper ac seats. There’s a few posts about it on club lexus.

I think you pretty much nailed the review on this car though and appreciated the undercarriage info and coverage of things like the rear wheel steering and mention of the adaptive suspension that really do not get the attention they deserve or consider what they actually ad to the car. What I will say first and foremost is If people driving this car first experience S or S+ mode and then had to switch it to default in Eco Mode I think a lot of reviews and opinions about this car would be different. If you take it out of Eco mode and get a little aggressive with it you will quickly realize there is much more to this car than how comfortable the seat is and the straight line performance. I absolutely love my RC350F and most of what some people consider negatives about this car really just don't matter to a lot of people at the end of the day. One of the main complaints against the car seems to be that there is no manual option but if that is a make or break for you then you probably need to be looking at a more pure performance car anyways. I don't think there are many who can argue that a manual can be more fun and it is probably because it is much more engaging to drive. However, for the target consumer group the automatic being an 8 speed (6 in the AWD) makes way more sense especially with the luxury oriented crowd. If you actually spend some time with the car being aggressive in S+ or even better in manual shift mode in S+ it is pretty damn fun will blip the throttle to match RPMs on downshift. It will pretty much obey all your shift commands except trying to downshift all the way to first at speed or keep it at redline too long. I like that it will hold a gear and only shift at redline since there is no reason to hold it that high with 8 speeds. From the power curves I have seen it is still flat a few hundred RPM beyond factory red line so why not. Could it shift faster sure but even though I would love to track it when does that really matter that it is not as fast as a double clutch. Reliability and smoothness for most operators is what matters here but don't think it is slow. I find myself switching in and out of manual mode depending on if I want the engine braking or not since in manual it will blip the throttle when downshifting for you. I offer a couple of things in no particular order that were mentioned in the video. Plenty of power for almost all occasions. If not that can be fixed with a supercharger kit. Not enough noise for you, also another easy fix. Two easy things to fix that most moders or performance enthusiasts are going to do anyways. Why deter the luxury buyer by scaring them off with a snarling beast.... RCF, LC500 drool! Salesman wanted me to test the LC500 which I went to original go look at to size up. Interior amazing! Engine rev amazing, do you want to drive it, absolutely but no, it would ruin me and no RCF in the area. Manual shift with the shift knob is really awkward and you will find yourself reaching for the paddles to downshift if you drive something else without them. I never noticed the lower door light was different or not LED. Maybe it was an afterthought like having to put a little plastic piece on the rear fender well of the RCF so the tires don't legally stick out past the fender, who knows. The the interior lighting at night is actually almost a beautiful thing especially the first time you notice that subtle accent light on the door trim. It almost makes me want to get the lighted door sill kit and drive more at night which I have never really liked doing. It does seam amiss when again time was spent on other lights but is that really a negative? Meh.. Here is one that I for sure feel your pain and dismay with. The seats are not actually cooled, they are only ventilated which is why you think they are not working that well. The ventilated seats help but you don't really feel like they do much unless they are also cooled in the south. The plus side is the climate control can make it comfortable in the car relatively quickly even after the car has been backing in the sun on the asphalt and it is 100F outside. Using a good windshield screen really helps if you can't park in the shade. To me this was one of the comforts that is missing but probably not a whole lot of room to squeeze it in. I would take cooled seats over the heated seats if I had to choose but that is just what it is I suppose and probably one of my own real complaints. Waiting for the front seat to move forward is excruciatingly slow but they probably do it so you don't crush the person if they were in the front seat? Maybe, or it just wasn't as important because they really didn't prioritize the use of the back seat. A minor issue to most probably because if you are buying a coupe for the usefulness of the back seats you are probably looking at the wrong type of car anyways right? The back seats are perfectly functional but much like the front you have to make special effort to get in without hitting your head. Tested this with a tall friends couple that are both over 6'. He is 6'3" and was in the front with his tall wife comfortably behind him. Not squished once you get in there and actually pretty comfortable but again not something that is a priority in this car. They could have sped it up or given a faster manual operation since the rear seat is most likely used for cargo and it takes forever. Again don't buy a coupe with rear seats that are hard to get into or access if that is a priority for you. Not saying the reviewer was this way as it seams like he also really liked the car other than a couple of his ticks but I guess I am really just disappointed with how many people choose one or two little things to be knock this car for when armchair driving when you really can't compare the whole package apples to apples against much else in the price range. But then again I think it is a really amazing car also because I got mine fully loaded in mica blue withe 23k miles on it for a song. I do not think I would be "as" impressed if I paid new price for it but that just makes it even better. In the past 2 weeks I have seen 2 others in my area and the other colors looks so damn boring...lol too much time on this post... if you like the car enjoy, if not don't try to be an expert on it unless you have driven it.

Very glad to have found your reviews. So refreshing to hear a review from someone who knows wth their talking about. I have seen a dozen video reviews for this car and this is by far the best. I am going back and forth on if I want this cat (really want the RC F but it's too pricy) or the new Mustang GT, and while I am still split I am leaning more towards this after seeing both you reviews. Great job.

A good driving review. I'm tired of reviews that focus on the infotainment system over anything else. People should just get over it. It's not a sports car. It's a grand touring car. Quit trying to make it something it's not. It was never intended for drags with a Challenger. Sheez.

After watching several video reviews on his car, I can say hands down that this review was far and away the best. There was no cheesy commentary, I learned everything I needed to know about the car and the overall professionalism of the camera work was excellent. I would go so far as to say it was this video that convinced me to take the plunge. I even liked seeing the car in Cobalt Blue so much, that I now have a carbon copy of the car in the video sitting in my garage. The colour is so much better in real life and in the week and a half I've had the car, I have had a tonne of complimentary comments. This is my first Lexus after 2 Merc's and 4 BM's, and I am looking forward to a far more reliable run than I've had in any of the German's. My wife's had an RX350 for 4 years now, while it's not what I'd pick for myself, it has been brilliantly reliable and she absolutely loves it, and after 2 Merc's and 3 BM's of her own, there is no going back. For me the RC350 F Sport is the first Lexus I had been willing to for myself and your video convinced me it was the right decision. It might be over $80k with all the kit here in Australia, but it is so worth it! Lexus cut this guy a cheque! Keep up the good work. Luke - Australia

+Emma hug Read Amazing feedback thanks a bunch, glad you enjoyed the video and it somewhat helped your decision. It's interesting to see your logic and previous ownership experience. I will be curious to see how you like it over time and if you have any issues. It does look great in person, the blue and red are just unique. We have a close out RC200t video coming next week where we recap, and while the 4 banger is not my choice the 350 and RCF are just really good cars, one of the few that was enjoyable most every drive. Enjoy it and thanks again.

Hey man, love the reviews (and the dry humour you bring to them). Question about the Lexus RC, which you seem to have given a lot of attention. I've been cross shopping with the C coupe, 2 series, etc (the usual suspects), and I just found this car to feel heavy, and not necessarily in a good way. I like the relatively stiff steering in sport+, but when I got back in my current BMW I just was amazed at how much lighter and more nimble the BMW felt. So I guess my question is - what am I missing about this car??? I can appreciate the looks and the luxury, but as a dynamic drivers car, it feels lacking.

I was looking into getting this car but the AWD model (i live in canada where it snows a lot). How does the AWD model compare to the RWD model? I know its heavier and slower (0-60 apparently takes 6 seconds in the AWD). Also, the AWD model has a 6 speed transmission as compared the an 8 speed in the RWD. Are they two different cars or do they handle similarly? Lastly I thought the Fsport Package had LED Headlights and Fog light delete? This one seems to have both the regular headlights and the fog lights?? (source lexus.com build and price and i went to see this car in person at the dealer and they told me no it doesn't get fog lights with the Fsport package) thx!
