I TOTALLY DISAGREE WITH ALL THESE REVIEWERS WHO CONSTANTLY SHIT ON THE LEXUS TRACK PAD or MOUSE. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT !!!!!! Seriously, most of these reviewers spend what, a few hours, maybe a couple of days, actually inside, driving these cars and they don't truly get the time to "get used to some features" of the cars they review, including Lexus's RCF or LC track pad or mouse. I own an RCF and the first few days it took me awhile to get used to the track pad, but now that I have, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE It and think it's brilliant. It's perfectly located, having your fingers fall, or sit, naturally right at the track pad. Change the movement settings to low to start out with and get used to it. I want no part of a "touch screen" where I have to move my arm every time to reach forward to it and they always have "fingerprints" and "smudges" all over them. They look hideous and dirty, especially if the display is turned off and at start up. I'm saddened to see Lexus go away from the track pad. I think it's great !!!!
I actually don't mind how you guys reviewed the car so thank you. This car is NOT for everyone, and it is a soft GT with a lot of power not a true performance car like Porsche or AMG GT or a C8, but it is also not unreliable as those cars. As a previous 911 owner, what this car gives you is a pleasant drive experience and a peace of mind, which you won't get with the German cars.
I have the coupe and it is by far the best car I’ve ever driven. I ditched the fake exhaust tips for a new Lexon rear diffuser with custom double barrel carbon fiber tips. Totally transforms the rear. The car is built like a tank and even after four years has zero rattles or squeaks or mechanical problems.
It's good to hear about the long-term reliability of the LC 500, especially given the car's competition. Unfortunately, that is not really something we can talk about in the review of "new" car but, Lexus certainly has an great reputation.
As a former Z enthusiast (3 variants), I just purchased the LC500 2024 edition as my new Z. Some months ago, I had purchased a 2017 Mazda MX-5 RF as my next Z and found it to be an excellent sports/luxury car blend that is very enjoyable to own and drive. The MX-5 is in the 5 generation and is well refined and very well engineered/evolved. I can recommend the MX-5 as the best sports car for the price point ($30-40K) new. I had in years past, previously reviewed and liked the LC500 but was annoyed by the electronics in the platform. And to my surprise, Lexus Corporate listened to the market and updated the infotainment for 2024. So the Miata is now going to find a new home and the LC500 has earned a spot in the garage. Having owned and driven many vehicles over my baby boomer life, the LC500 is the penultimate Lexus blend of GT/LS art/engineering and is actually priced well, with respect to the competition. I appreciate your review and agree with many of your comments. Stay safe and happy driving!
@@tomhui87 Absolutely love it!! Best sports car that I have ever driven or owned. It is a gentleman's sports car, refined, elegant and powerful. You wont be disappointed. Even at 3 times the price of the Miata, worth it!!
FYI it’s a 5 litre engine with ported and direct injection and will last forever as I own one 😂, stereo is 1200 watts too, look inside the exhaust surrounds and there are 4 pipes 😂
It's a 5 litre V8. The "fake" exhaust tips hide quad pipes inside, so in a way they undersell it. And you criticized the handling without the sport pack with rear steer?
We have to review the car that we were given which, unfortunately, did not have the rear steer option so, we cannot speak to how that would change the overall driving experience and handling of the car.
@@mikegray8029 .01 % of owners would ever drive these hard enough to utilise lsd and rear steer It's not a sports car or even performance car Think Aston Martin not Supra 👍
first of all, you guys should not even be doing reviews on cars that you know, nothing about second of all, it's a 5 L to correct you Not 4.7.. And there is exhaust tips . Not fake tips, you must have Eye issues.
I have a23 LC500 Convertible. Spectacular inside and out. Impeccable interior just reeks of quality workmanship. Styling is just breathtaking. Very powerful at least for me. This car is a winner baby. 🏖️
Did you guys push the shifter across into manual or just pull the paddles? If you don't move the shifter into full manual the ecu will override your paddle shifts.....
I believe since the '23 model year as that is when the infotainment system was refreshed/redesigned for the LC lineup in general. Also, Lexus officially started supporting wireless Carplay and Android Auto since late 2022 - support.lexus.com/s/article/Apple-CarPlay-10846
You need to do better research. It’s a 5.0 V8 & not a 4.7 as you mentioned. The front vents are there to cool the brakes, the carbon fiber roof is part of the performance package. Probably the worst LC review on TH-cam.
Lol. Yea i noticed all these bc i have the car5 and have the performance package .and i believe all of the performance package DOES have the rear steer . Lol so yea they seemed to not be a fan . They were maybe over objective if that’s is a possible thing . Lol
I'm glad that I found you! You compare the competition, understand the automaker's philosophy, and have good advice. If you added the packages and owner's review, you could only be the #1 car channel!
You want something more involving. But for the money, what GT car is more involving AND looks and sounds as good? A 911, which is more expensive is a sports car - it’s not a GT. The 850 - the engine may have torque, but nowhere near the character of the LC’s and the 850 feels much less nimble than the LC500. Have you driven all these cars? You mention the RCF as more hardcore. I’ve owned an RCF (and currently own an LC). The RCF is not more hardcore and in all fairness is much less sharp than an LC500 that has rear wheel steering. As for steering feel - once again, what car in this segment gives oodles of steering feel? In fact, what modern car gives steering feel full stop. Fair to say, I think this is a poor review. Suggest some more homework needed. C-
poor sub title. 1. FABULOUS ENGINE SOUNDS. One can put a nice exhaust on anything. Love my flat sixes but V8s sound better 1k-3k, Lexus 5.0 at 3.6k+ is very satisfying. 2. artful choice of lines and materials that are well put together. Real headline more like Emotive Coupe. I drive a 911 manual, Boxster PDK and a Lexus GSF that has the same V8 and magical RWD per torque vector diff (clutches) vs bs brake based. LC has extra intake and sound beats all.

Did you compare it to the corvette? What cars did you compare it to?

Wow I recently reserved a 2024 MX-5 RF and then decided instead to spend 2.5X more to get a 2024 LC. How do you like yours?

I was going to say the same. I can’t imagine not having the Torsten Differential and rear steer.
@@mikegray8029 .01 % of owners would ever drive these hard enough to utilise lsd and rear steer
It's not a sports car or even performance car
Think Aston Martin not Supra 👍
@@ArtVandelayOfficial I have one with the performance package. I use both daily. Think Texas backroads.
Cool handle by the way, T-Bone.

We put it into manual mode and then used the paddle shifters as that is the best way to control the gears fully
If you base the "quality" of a car on numbers/figures alone; you're missing the point of this car.
do you have apple car play in the coupé or only in the cabrio?
It’s the same infotainment system across both so there’s wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay
@@theoverrunofficial since wich model year?

CarPlay was since 2019 and I think android was 2020
Great video, I love the LC. I have a hybrid version myself

2:97 "125 watt Mark Levinson system" LOL My Sony walkman has more watts than that !
ps always funny seeing a review video of the lc in a LHD vehicle.

l'un d'entre vous m'a convaincu, je vend ma bmw et j'achète la lc 500. (one of you convinced me, I'm selling my BMW and buying the LC 500)
Verdict ? 😊
@@faouziajr1416 j'ai racheté une bmw😳
Ahh - the new updates 4.7 litre 🙈
Shit track pad? Fake exhaust tips? 🤔 not at all
I know where that parking garage is 😉
