See my 2014-2020 Lexus IS Video: th-cam.com/video/draX_c2DFrM/w-d-xo.html
I have an RC 350 F Sport. I Love the car. Rolling work of art. It's quiet, comfortable, has plenty of power, and, of course, Lexus quality and dependability. (Would like to have an LFA but my wife says no.)
Your wife can’t tell you what to do. your a man
Idk about plenty of power lol but has more then regular traffic . This car is more of a eye catcher I don't see it flying by at 200 mph
@@forzafestiva1 depends on your definition. “standard” car is about 180 hp. lexus rc definitely has plenty of power for about 95% of population
@@forzafestiva1Probably Because V-6' s Aren' t Made to Go 200 mph, LFA w) 10 cylinder will only do 203 mph
@edcain9492 my point is. Nowadays even regular traffic cars have enough power to accelerate quick. They're fast. Rc350 is by no means fast anymore. The only thing they will take is camry and regular cars. So no they are not fast
I own a 2020 RC350 F-Sport. No problems for now, 2 1/2 years. I get between 31-32 mpg on the highway, and there is more than enough acceleration for >99% of normal driving activities, driving 15, 000 miles a year. I have at times driven 4 hours without a break without any aches or pains and the seats are terrific. I bought the car for its excellent ride qualities and literally almost no maintenance beyond fluids. I have owned Lexus since 1995 when I started out with an SC400. Now in my mid 70's, I could not ask for a better daily driver. The vehicle is a great looking car even though it has been out for about 9 years, and given the recent design language evolving with other manufactures, this vehicle should look contemporary for another 10-15 years, IMO.
.
I own the 2015 RC. Now at 162k mileage. So far so good. Just make sure get good periodic maintenance and all will go well.
You're living my dream, sir!
I own a Red 2015 Fsport rwd RC350. I have owned 2013 and up ES/IS and a Fsport Gs350. All the cars are very similar. The GS had more comfortable seats than my RC. The RC's are very nice but not as soft. Alot of reviewers put the car down based on 0-60. I drive 100 miles a day on the interstate and it performs impressively. The faster you go the stronger the engine feels. So you definitely need to test it out and not be steered by the published times. Feels much faster
I agree feels much faster than what the numbers suggest and the engine sounds great
I'm looking at a'15 RC rwd fully loaded, I have been researching for awhile and want to say thanks for your concise rundown of the car. Always nice to make a informed purchase. Good health.
I just want to thank you for taking the time to create such a comprehensive review on the car. I am in the market for a 2016 RC 350 F sport, and your information has been so helpful in putting me at ease in my decision. I bought my first Lexus, a 2015 ES 350, a few months back. Having driven a 4 cylinder car all of my life, I just love the power of a V6 and the solid build quality of a Lexus. 300hp is more than enough power for a daily driver. I've watched your other videos, and your contents are first rate. I appreciate the amount of hard work you've put in and the valuable service you provide. Cheers!
Just got a '19 RC350 F-Sport AWD. Considered German brands and chose reliability and lower costs for maintenance and repairs. This car is way fast enough for me, the luxurious interior croons class and fun, plus it includes safety features I value, the exterior looks awesome, and I decided I deserve all this! Sweet!
Had the 22 RC 350 F Sport till 2 weeks ago on a lease, and it’s an amazing car. You don’t many of them here in CA.
Brought it into the dealer for an oil change as I planed on buying it after the lease was up. That’s how much I liked the car.
Then what did I see in the show room? The RCF.
Not the most financially prudent move, but turned in the lease, and drove out with the F.
She is a luxurious BEAST!
Really looking forward to the RCF video so I subscribed.
Thanks for an honest review. She is definitely not German (had a 2001 335i), and I love her more for not being so.
An AMAZING car and a head turner. Soo much fun to drive!
Congratulations on the RCF I'm jealous
I own a 2016 RC 200t F Sport. Honestly, the car is an excellent commuter for my 2-hour drive to work. My gas mileage is right where I need it to be. My last car was a 6-cylinder twin-turbo gas guzzler. I love my RC!
This is my first Lexus. I got one of the 200t that you said to ignore! I love this car. If the 350 is faster and I am sure it is I don't need it! I am a Toyota fan but I must say I never knew how nice a Lexus was until I drove one! Thanks for your video
Great review! I cannot wait to pick one up next year.
Same here. Just hope there will be availability.
Have the 2022 RC350 F-sport is sexy red. First time Lexus owner. The IS reminded me of Honda Accord. LOVE LOVE LOVE the RC. It's smooth, fast and no speeding ticket yet.
Have a 2019 RC350F-Sport AWD. Love it. Get soo many comments on how good it looks. I bought it because it just looks great, and Lexus has great reliability and cost of ownership. Wish I had the 2wd but I don't live in the south so wanted to be able to drive in the snow if need be. I would definitely buy again.
I just purchased a 2023 RC 350, and I LOVE it! My favorite lil touch is starting my car from Alexa
I have an RC300h Premier, same spec as the car in the footage. It's brisk but not amazingly fast, but I do average 50mpg on my daily commute. I bought it purely for comfort, economy, reliability and of course the fantastic looks..... and this car really turns heads! My only issue is with the parking brake shoes rattling when I hit a rut in the road, but that will be sorted under the Lexus warranty. Overall, very happy with it. 🙂
I owned 1998 supra, sc430, camaro and challenger challenger when I was younger, than E-class coupe on a side with NX300 as a family car, now am extremely happy with my 2019 RC300 it has the needed power for a daily drive, luxury look and seating feels, fuel economic and low maintenance needed..
Nice review of this very desirable sports coupe. Probably one of the best looking and most underrated cars out there. Lexus quality and reliability are hard to beat. I think the years to shoot for are 2020+ esp with the update to infotainment system. The RC 300 F Sport is the one I would pick for performance balance and fuel economy. Plus, it keeps the already premium price down just a little bit lol 😅
Great review. Great car. One correction. 2018 was first Black line and Apple car play. Have one and enjoy every time I drive it.
That’s nuts I was just looking into this car yesterday and you upload today. Thanks for your reviews brother I knew nothing about cars before but I’ve learned by reading a lot and watching a ton of your lexus\toyota videos
Glad the videos were helpful to you my friend!
Same here. Was looking at cars just yesterday. AI at work.
I like it, thanks Kevin 😀
Thanks for dropping in my friend!
I still have my 2016 RC 350 F Sport (rwd) I LOVE driving this car.. I commute 30k miles/year and just don't want to give up my RC, not even interested in trading it off or selling it. My interest was piqued when I drove my wifes IS 350 F Sport a few years ago.. I soon purchased my RC after that drive. Thanks for the video.
I purchased an RC350 F-Sport -RWD (Caviar) Black Edition in 2018. I get so many compliments. Because it was a mid-2018 edition, it has some 2019 editions such as Apple Car Play. Suspension was a little soft for me, so I lowered it slightly on RS-R Down Springs, added 20 inch Vossen HF-5 wheels, and added the Lexus F-Sport Performance exhaust and diffuser. It handles so much better (for my taste) and sounds great too. Five years later, It still feels special to drive.
I have the 2018 blackline edition rwd. In atomic silver with orange calipers looks amazing. Installed invidia q300 mufflers to give it some sound.
I bought mine in 2016. 350 AWD Lux package with Mark Levinson. Love this car as a daily driver. Test drove the 4 series, Audi A5 but this was the one for me.
I'm putting my order in next week.....Is the Mark Levinson system worth it? I have a 800w subwoofer in my g37 and love it, so curious if I should add the Levinson system or go aftermarket.
@@beckamcmillan3984 I love Mark Levison sound system. I had to had it and I am glad I did. You can hear guitar cords to that depth.
I love mine no major issues. I have a 2015,rc 350 f sprt RWD new. I just now replaced the alternator 2024. Most expensive ive paid for are tires.😊❤. Wouldn't change my choice!
Honestly considering getting one. The only gripe that I have with it, is the 6 second 0-60 on the 350 variant. Feel like it looks quicker than it is, and it honestly should be slightly quicker from factory. Not a huge deal breaker at all, just something I've always thought about when it comes to this coupe model. It's a really good looking car. Especially in person, they stand out so much. Obsidian Black with the Rioja red interior would be my go to specification. Thing is I still have my LS430, but as much as I love the old girl, I want some more modern nowadays. The triple beam LED headlights, all the new flashy tech, I want it.
I think if you get a chance to test drive one, you will be able to appreciate it more, feels quicker than the numbers suggest but also sounds great when revving it out
I’m still waiting for depreciation to settle in, this is gonna be what the d was at back in the mid to late 2010s
Not everyday you drag it. The point is the reliability and the craftsmenship is top notch. I wish i can afford the LC500. That is a dream collection to have.
Sc430 with that V8 must be so nice tho
Sharp looking car, Cheers Mr Lexus.
Does look nice for sure! As always, thank you for the support!
Which is one to get for my daily drive? Is350 fsport or rc350 non f( rc350 fsport is not available in our country) i'll also buy a miata as my second car. Thanks!
NEW OWNER 2023, APRIL 20, 2023. LOVE IT. IT'S A BEAUTY.
Can you fit 22 inch wheels on this back being staggered
Always cool to see an RC out in public, kind of rare
Yea coupes don’t sell well. And the very similar but equally good looking IS sedan can be had for way less money, like $10K-$17K less
@@MeynMotorGroup Yeah, I've noticed. I've had my eye on one of these for years, but the pricing and the slow trans have always given me pause.
@@darrell9616 yea after pandemic these cars don’t make sense to buy anymore. It was a good buy at $25k pre pandemic
@@MeynMotorGroup I haven't looked at one post pandemic, but that doesn't surprise me. I decided to lease a new A5 instead of buying a used RC back when I was looking previously because the pricing didn't make sense to me. I ended up buying out the lease because it was worth a much more than the buyout.
Exactly there were some great deals going on with A4 and A5 leases glad you took advantage of them. I remember A5 convertibles had a ton of equity as well. Sadly most will never learn the ins and outs of leasing to take advantage of such deals, I’m glad you did my friend.
Love em
Thanks for the video. I have been looking for this type of video. Your title says “2015-2013”. Should it be “2015-2023” instead?
Fixed my friend
I own a 2017 RC350 F sport. Just bought 2 months ago. Absolutely love it. I wanted performance yet luxury I can daily drive. The Stereo was a selling point as well. The only car I would want more is an LC 500. Im the past owner of a 91 Nissan 300 ZX. I wanted something comparable. This is much better in every way.
Do you have the Mark Leviston stereo? I have it in my GX and it is fantastic. I wonder about the non-ML stereo.
I’m hoping for a 2024/2025 redesign with the new hybrid tech
i want a 2015+ lexus rc with the lsd option but it’s so hard to find info about that
I rented an RC300 with the 4cyl on Turo last year for a few days. Build quality, beautiful interior, understated, I fell in love. I'd love to drive the legendary 6cyl.
IMO I'd have trouble buying one because a similar price could buy a sportier german car, and also the infotainment is just awful.
I'm on the fence here but I do respect the car quite highly due to its daily drivability and reliability!
Yea tha’s the problem with this, you can lease an Audi S5 that would run circles around this while riding better and going faster. Of course, most people still don’t understand what leasing is and refuse to learn.
lease an german, buy a japanese
I have a 2020 rc 300 f sport rwd
Wow, the RC 350 is truly a stunning car! Its elegant silhouette and sporty lines definitely turn heads. However, I'm currently facing a dilemma: should I go for the Audi TTS or prioritize reliability?
The Audi TTS is also an exceptional car, with a modern design and impressive performance. Its luxurious interior and technological features provide a premium driving experience. However, I can't help but wonder if its reliability meets my long-term expectations.
On the other hand, reliability is a crucial criterion for me when buying a car. I appreciate the peace of mind that comes with a reliable vehicle, knowing that I can count on it without worrying about costly breakdowns or recurring issues.
Feel free to share your opinion and give me advice if you have owned either of these cars. I'm open to any additional information that could help me make my final decision. Thank you all
If you own an RC you are in rare company. Fewer than 54,000 sold in the US to date.
the rc 350 fsport is a nice car
I have a 2015 RC 350 RWD F sport with 50k miles. Best car I have ever purchased won’t be selling for at least 10 years
Thanks for sharing! I just bought one a couple of days ago with 37K miles. She is a 2015, RWD in mica blue. I am excited! Great to hear you want to keep it for years to come!
@@apoozeo1715yeah man, car is overall amazing it does everything well in all categories. Only con is the interior storage, it’s really tight but I don’t mind
@@apoozeo1715what did you pay?
@@StunnaDroppedYou34.5k after tax listing was $32,000 42k miles
@@Mr_Banker222that’s a good deal, I’m looking at a blue 2021 with black and yellow interior 19k miles for $41,000
Had a 2015 rc350 awd fsport Silver with red interior. Owned it for a month before a 93 year old man in a 2011 ford edge tboned me at 40 mph. I walked away and so did my passenger. When comparing weights of the two cars it’s surprising there’s only a few hundred pound’s difference between a coupe and a suv
Replaced it with a 2017 rc350 awd fsport silver with black interior. I really wasn’t a fan of the red interior in my first one. It looked like the car was trying to be something it isn’t
sorry about your accident...did the 93 year old man survive?
I have been eyeing this car for a long time, mainly the look and reliability. The auto trans was the weak spot to me. Some autos feel fast. this one I hear doesnt do as well as other auto's but still learning about the aftermarket options. Tunes and boost supposedly wake this car up. I rather add boost to this reliable coupe than buy a german coupe with boost and headaches. That was my dream, my goal. Supercharged RC350 with tune. considered the 4 cylinder boost but worried about its limits.
The transmission has to be put into sport mode for it to react well, in normal mode it feels lethargic and that was by design. If you’re just buying new then leasing a German car would be the better bet
Go buy BMW and ready your pocket after 30k mileage. I rather own something that don't give me headache and breaks my bank.
Probably the safest car I ever drove!
I wish they'd drop like 10k in price. Been watching since 2020 and they havent budged much.
So the sad thing is, after the pandemic these things shot up in price and never gone down since so these cars make no sense to buy now. Better off just getting a new IS 350 with a 10% discount and 2k lease bonus
I'm waiting for the 2018 ls to drop to 30k🥲 just a few more years
Love your vids but you’re always saying the 8 speed in the non F cars is the same. Internals are waaaaay beefed up on F cars and they have more clutches per gear for higher torque capacity. The transmissions are night and day difference. They also have tons of performance features the non F 8 speeds don’t have. F car = AA80E non F= AA81E.
So I’m actually not saying anything, I’m just reading off of the official Lexus press release verbatim
I still like the rc 350 fsport
Thx. Does RC include power folding mirrors?
No
Bummer. thx. thats a necessary feature for me.
@sethm10
I'd like that feature also.
They do fold in just not power. The only power thing with the mirrors is they adjust down when you reverse. The car is still a great car. I have to plans on getting rid of mine anytime soon.
@@sethm10lazy
@@StunnaDroppedYou when you have a small garage and the car is too wide to lean over the passenger side to manually fold in the mirror and then the one day you forget and completely dmg the mirror. Then yes, it’s a necessary feature.
Yo bro good morning 😎🤝👍🏾👍🏾
Morning bro always appreciate you 👍

I miss mine! I shouldn't watch this! It was an impulse buy that I don't regret. Literally emailed Lexus. Went in after work and bought a 2015 Lexus RC 350 F-Sport AWD in atomic silver. This is going to sound stupid, but the Lexus LFA Tachometer sold me. How many of us middle class people are going to be able to afford a Lexus LFA? Damn I miss my car! Looking to buy a RC-F Fuji Speedway Edition or since I do live in the upper midwest state (where it snows a lot), I might just go for another atomic silver. I just really love the styling that's why I chose the F-Sport. Better grill, 19 in rims, slightly better performance. A lot of people will not take a second look at these this car, but it's different. Uniquely Lexus! Did I mentioned that I miss my car. If i get a Lexus LFA, I will still miss my RC 350 F-Sport. Alright I'm done.
Thanks!
@@MeynMotorGroup Your Lexus reviews are awesome! Comprehensive and you cover all the models. I just bought one a couple of days ago with 37K miles from a single owner. She is a 2015, RWD F Sport in mica blue. I am excited abd waiting for it to be delivered!
i think you put 2013 instead of 2023 on descriptions 😅
Fixed
I wonder how much longer they will keep the LC500 alive. Looks like the 24 MY is getting a tacked-on touch screen 🤮.
When I first saw this one a few years ago, I wanted it. Then, I saw the LC.....and that was all she wrote. Might as well spend the extra 60K and get the LC, imo 🤣
LC is def where it is at it’s on another planet compared to the RC, GS, and IS cars
WHAT I find interesting is why Lexus cancelled the RC in Europe in 2020 but kept it going in the US for 3 years.
👊🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Nice looking, boring dynamics, should have offered a standard, had an is 350, never gotalong with it, just a Boring coupe.
Too expensive for what it was.
Im about to be used to own a Q50 of the same year. The 3.7 is Very Strong. But there's nothing like the Feel of the RC350. Personally bore it out to 3.7 stroker
Like driving a coffin very solid but 0 road feel, you drive the car as much as suggest where you’d like it to go
Have you driven a good car then? If so I would really be interested in knowing what it is my friend
Why wasn't this used for the "New" Supra 🤔
My goodness Toyota ...
Not really sharp enough
@@MeynMotorGroup
"Not sharp enough" as in the body, or the chassis/unibody wasn't up to task?
Lexus UK killed this off in 2020 the sales figures were terrible. I guess its because its a frankenstein chassis with a poor transmission
coupes never sell well especially today
The 8f trans is amazing, not sure why you think it’s so poor? Obviously I’d rather have a zf8 but it’s jap not euro.
