The rear steering system does not working in any driving mode except sport+. Also the transmission shifts and engine power changes when you are in sport and sport+ modes. Shifts are quicker and in auto mode it will downshift by itself in a corner and hold that gear to accelerate out of the corner. There is a lot of performance features that you can access but you have to program them in. I have one of these cars. I have never seen a reveiwer talk about how you can program the rev indicator and adjust the rpm peak or change the tach needle color. You can set this so that at the rpm that you select the tach gauge face will flash red when it reaches that rpm. If you are a drag racer then you call it a shift light. The fun begins when you go into the settings and customize the car's features to your own taste. For me the best setting is manual shift mode, Sport+ on the drive mode selector, and turn off the trac-control by pushing and holding down the trac-control button for more then 10 sec. Then you will see how this car changes to a different car. If you drive it in eco or standard mode then you are driving a slightly better Camry with 2 doors. But is Sport and Sport+ the car starts to show it's stuff. Sport+ gives you a faster steering ratio if you have the variable ratio package, the rear steering system comes into play, the suspension is at it's max stiffness, and the programing on the engine tune and transmission changes. In closing I would like to say owning this car is a dream because when you go out for the night and just want a smooth lux touring car. It can be that car, and when you are in the mood for some fun it can be quickly changed to that. Owning a sports car you will always have a stiff ride everyday and every situation. What Lexus has done here is given you both and touring lux car and a sports car. 95% of the time we drive it as a daily driver we want comfort and not stiff and harsh. But 5% of that time we can have that sports car. The best of both worlds in one cars. There is more to this car then what most reveiwer can tell you. And you need to explore the setting and program the car to your taste. If you buy one get the f sport package, vari ratio steering, adaptive suspension, rear wheel steering package,and go and read the manual to understand and unlock the hidden features that this car has.
+sheilarb77 Is there info on this customization in the owners manual or a youtube you can point me to? I just purchased this car and so far I love it!!
+Eddie David Yes there is information in the owners manual. Also your Lexus dealer should be able to also help you. Don't be afraid of spending time in your car in your driveway just going through all the menus and seeing what is changeable. In the manual it will show you somethings. Like changing the rev indicator. Move gauge to the side to show the sub menu. Then using the hand side controls on the steering wheel move to setting icon and click the center button. Then scroll down to rev indicator, then click on it. Then scroll through and you will see rev. indicator yes or no. click on yes. Then the next will be changing the needle color, and the next one after that will be rpm setting. You can set it from 2,000 to 7,500 rpm. This will make the gauge flash red when you hit that rpm setting. There are other things to customize, light delay times, door lock functions, etc. It does look hard at first but after playing with the system for a few hours. You will see how to change things. I wish Lexus would make a video on all this stuff and put it on youtube.
John sierra hi john, i don't think that the 200t has the same features. My son has a is200t and his has a boost meter that you can get through the display menu. I am not sure if the rev indicator is on that 200t I know that the tach needle color is changeable on his 200t. I also know that on the rcf model with the v8 engine there is a g force meter in the display menu. I sorry but that's all I can tell you. But as I mentioned in my comments. Don't be afraid to sit down and go through all the menu and settings. I hope you enjoy your car..
+John sierra Hi John some info for you. If you want to gain a bit more out of your 200t. Then check your cars exhaust in the rear. If the pipe going into the mufflers is about 1 1/2" in diameter, Then a bolt on upgrade would be the F Sport exhaust from the RC350 or IS350 exhaust. This will bolt in with bigger pipes and less back pressure. Your turbo engine will boost faster and the trottle response will be sharper and more fun to drive. This exhaust is available on ebay for about $1200.oo. Just though you might want this info.. Take Care and enjoy your RC200T....
I really, really love your style of reviews. You're super thorough and go over pretty much everything about the car (without going crazy). I also love how you go over the engine layout and even going so far as to look at the steering linkage. Great work, man.
victor bozzo theres no difference on the mechanics of it. The only difference is how they work. In the prelude its operated more mechanically compared to sensors on the lexus.
This is the first review I've seen of yours - I freaking love your overview of under the hood and drive train. Most reviews are "Sounds great. looks good. pretty comfy. Puts a smile on your face"
Great review. Detailed enough to help me understand the more technical details of the car and what I'm really paying for. No gushing about how good looking the car is but a really objective view of this product. I especially appreciated the comparison to the GS 350 which I am also considering. Buying one of these a year old could make a lot of sense since first year depreciation is a killer.
this guy is really good at reviewing. he gets very hands on. this is coming from a British guy who loves/loved Top Gear. i only came here as RC is only just being released in affordable form. RCF has been out for a while in England but its waaay too expensive lol. thanks Engineering Explained
It's so frustrating that most of the reviews I saw on this dissed it's performance which was so different that what I experienced actually driving it and might have convinced me not to buy it. Then I went back and looked at the video reviews again and saw that in every case where I could see they weren't in sport + mode and often were just leaving it in automatic. So they weren't using the sport performance settings of the car and then complaining that it isn't sporty enough. I've had mine for almost 4 years and almost always drive it in sport plus and always use the paddle shifters and it is a fantastic car. Yes it is heaver than would be ideal but it is a solid, planted heaviness, especially in my AWD version. Don't trust these reviews bashing it's performance. Drive one yourself in S+ and learn how to really use the paddles right and you will love it.
Don't mean to jump on the band wagon but I do completely agree with Eduardo M…..Great Job! I really enjoy all your videos and how realistic you are with all the reviews.
+Engineering Explained …I'm thinking about Rc 350 or the 370 Nismo, in your opinion which car is more for the money? I would test drive them myself but I'm currently living in Spain and thought I would ask for your opinion since you tested both.
dude your car review maybe the best I have ever watched, you researched about mostly everything about the car that enssencially is neccessary, very infomative and crap-cut and ear-grabbing straight forward, and no personal unrelated opinions like some other youtube car reviews, I find it very useful to watch before buying a car, please do some more of these on newly released how rides, good job well done beef!
you really did a great job filming this video and I really liked the first person thing. In my opinion this is the best one man work I've seen. Keep up the good work.
Best RC 350 F-Sport Review ever....Well done. However, IF You really did get 25.9mpg over a 50 mile run at 75/25 Highway/City with going through MT and AT Modes and getting into the throttle as much as you did I am amazed. Seriously... Excellent Fuel Economy... Thank You for a Job Well Done! JP
I saw one in Lexus dealer when I was going to change my car from ES350 to GS350 F Sport, RC 350 looks sharp and pretty. And some 10 mins later it's gone from showroom. xD
Great review. Would love to see it cornering from the outside though - could do a second run with GoPro on the side of the road and then just splice it into the middle of the footage to look like it was all in one drive. I know that would take a bit more when you don't have a crew, but it would give another perspective of the car in action.
I really enjoy your style of review. It is so obvious you know what you are talking about. No florid marketing jargon, and each vehicle is tested on a baseline. Well done. Now, if only you liked motorcycles and reviewed those!! :-)
I work in the auto industry and have driven pretty much every make and model of every manufacturer and I can say lexus has some of the most comfortable and stylish interiors. This creamy color scheme is not the best they have to offer
Very nice. Interesting to see Lexus has brought 4ws back recently. Not new for them though, they had the same in their 1991 Toyota Soarer UZZ32. 24 years ago!
Yes bmw is faster no argument there, but I would rather take v8 and lexus reliability then turbo engine, I'm not on a race track, nothing beats v8 sound. It's sad to see all the companies are switching to turbo engines even lexus put v6 turbo in their newest flagship..
You're getting some great cars to review! Thanks! Wish the performance and test drive were first, leaving the more fiddly trim and geeky stuff for those who want to hold on until the end :-)
You do a great job.Looking at V6 Accord 2016 2015 V6 Camry Accord looks better then 2015 but priced higher then the Camry . Camry looks good but the Accord looks sharper .
+Boss Arch Personally I went with the Accord. Nothing wrong with the Camry. Camry does have a smoother downshift while on the Accord you will definitely notice it. Eventually you'll get the hang of the downshift on the Accord and learn to predict it. I just noticed you said you were thinking about the 2016 Accord, if I were you I would stick with 2015. There isn't any major power train change. Though you might want to wait for the 2017 accord =] If the Spirior concept goes through it should be rather interesting.
MihRonoh I picked out the Camry the price was better .I was going to just get a 4 but really thought he 4 2016 Accord was boring the Camry had it beat but drove both v6 Camry Accord , I was able to swing a better deal with the Camry very happy. WHITE , ONE . TNX.
I would choose this car for a daily only. Exterior and interior deserve an 8.5/10 It’s Definitely not meant to race, stock for stock it can’t even beat a sti from roll or dig. If anything it’s probably just as fast as a HR 350z only. If you want fast, your just gonna have to go with the RCF, because that’s in a different league.
Are the shifts not faster in Sport/Sport +? I test drove an IS F Sport recently, which I assume is similar, and it seemed to shift really slow in normal mode, but I know I have seen videos (say, Winding Road's test of the IS 350 F Sport) where the car appears to be shifting quite fast.
So surprising that even the rwd version compared to awd GS is still the same speed and not much difference in weight. At least come out with couple F-sport manuals for the enthusiast out there. This car had so much potential. Love the design and interior, but needs a manual (or at least appropriate paddle shifting, where it doesn't toggle through gears and is slow to shift. It's hard to sacrifice the room you have in the GS for the look of this RC. Great review!
Try and get a review of a 2015 mustang 5.0. I sat in one at the philly car show and it was one of the most comfortable things I've ever sat in, i swear i could've drove cross country in the thing.
I am in the market for a new, used or leased vehicle and have narrowed my preferences to the Lexus RC and BMW 4 series. I love the aesthetics of Lexus, but almost every review I see gives the BMW 4 series higher marks for driveability. I like the 2-door/coupe body, need safety, quality, warranty, maintenance packages and fuel efficiency. Is there a particular year and model that you prefer for both manufacturers that you could recommend so I can do more research and test drive prior to making my purchasing decision?
Great looks. Decent performance. I have a 2013 GS and like it, but wondered if it would be better to have an RC. This review made me feel better about my car as it seems the differences are minimal plus I think my interior is nicer than this car. Also, I drove a '15 GS and it had the 8-speed instead of the 6-speed like mine, and I really didn't like the way the 8-speed drove. Weird feeling and kind of slushy unless you go sport plus.
Acura has a much better interior room than any other of the lexus. I think the interior of the RC 350F needs to be redesigned and needs to be a little bit longer in dimensions. That's just my suggestion.
Nice review, but I think your reviews lack true dynamic handling testing. It would be nice if you could test vehicles on/over their limit, but this would require access to a track or something similar. Your comments about the RC350 F-sport are strikingly similar to reviews of the RC-F, the main thing is it being simply too heavy. With the RC-F and GS-F just launched we are at least 5-6 years away from a new platform from Lexus. I hope to see lighter and turbocharged cars from them then! I currently own a IS200 Sport with 6 speed manual box and LSD, if Lexus could make a modern and light equivalent of that car I would be delighted. Here in Europe we are cursed compared to the US of A: we only get the 2.5L V6 and the inline 4 hybrid. The 3.5L V6 is not sould in Europe.. So my next car is most likely going to be a BMW I think.. I think it might also be nice to do a video about Variable Gear Ratio Steering! I am interested how it works.
That interior is gorgeous. Lexus makes the most luxurious and reliable cars.
It's hideous and the interior looks like it fell out of a 1980's parts bin.
Lol the hate
way better than the shitty german competitors
I'm not gonna lie, german cars look way better but, after owning one for a while lexus reliability is very tempting.
moritsuna Last time I check it was Lexus were having a bunch of reliability issues: www.consumeraffairs.com/automotive/lexus.html

Engineering Explained How does the 4WS compare to the 4WS of the old Honda Preludes??? ;-)
victor bozzo theres no difference on the mechanics of it. The only difference is how they work. In the prelude its operated more mechanically compared to sensors on the lexus.
When he revealed the spare tire and said "a nice yellow you might just want to buy 4 of these" I lost it 😂😂

One of the best reviews of a vehicle, esp inside the wheel well
my top fav car reviewer keep your amazing work up , your review really make me feel like am driving the car
thanks bro hands down covered all and everything in full detail, never let up my guy, great review
Great review. You have an unique, and invaluable, approach of showing the technical parts (e.g., suspension) of the car during the review.
you really did a great job filming this video and I really liked the first person thing. In my opinion this is the best one man work I've seen. Keep up the good work.
Thanks, really appreciate the kind words!
Thank you so much.. You naild it and reviewed it for what I need. Respect.
nice review man! I like it when u add the technical stuff to ur reviews, coz m an engineer. This is what other guys miss out on. Keep it up...

Getting better and better at these reviews Jason, well done :-) Keep it up
I really enjoy your style of review. It is so obvious you know what you are talking about. No florid marketing jargon, and each vehicle is tested on a baseline. Well done. Now, if only you liked motorcycles and reviewed those!! :-)
Shannon Parker Ha! I'd kill myself on a bike. It is fact. Glad you enjoyed the review!
It's surprising how similar the performance and driving experience is to the GS. However, it's much, much prettier than the 4 door GS.
Dude I thought you looked familiar, I've seen you around Oregon. Dig your videos. Keep it up man:)
I work in the auto industry and have driven pretty much every make and model of every manufacturer and I can say lexus has some of the most comfortable and stylish interiors. This creamy color scheme is not the best they have to offer
Watching this in 2024, its literally still the same car except the infotainment screen. 100% the same. That's crazy
Another great review.
The Audi S4 you tested seems like a far better choice for enthusiasts (S5 if want a coupe).
i would buy both audi and the lexus.
Love your review ... Detailed tecnical explanation great
Great job on the review!
Bought one. Great car, but I started to miss the V8 I had in the ISF. Solution: traded in on a '16 RCF ;)
From mobile I like how the thumbnail goes straight into the video
Very nice. Interesting to see Lexus has brought 4ws back recently. Not new for them though, they had the same in their 1991 Toyota Soarer UZZ32. 24 years ago!
Needs a manual and a diet. 3700 lbs is WAY to much for a 300 hp V6. good review.
Nerdygamer000 Well said
Show us the car you built.
yea Man U right also 3000$ Nissan Altima 3.5 also 300hp
ueg1974 I have a 3.5 Altima coupe 6mt.... I can’t bring myself to pay 40-50 grand for something slightly slower! :-(
I still can't get over how car manufacturers' naming conventions means we have to specify "two-door coupe" now.
Cars become the only surround sound system in a person's house.
Yes bmw is faster no argument there, but I would rather take v8 and lexus reliability then turbo engine, I'm not on a race track, nothing beats v8 sound. It's sad to see all the companies are switching to turbo engines even lexus put v6 turbo in their newest flagship..
what is the point of increasing the compression ratio if it still produces the same hp and torque as the one in GS350? can you pls explain. Thanks
You're getting some great cars to review! Thanks! Wish the performance and test drive were first, leaving the more fiddly trim and geeky stuff for those who want to hold on until the end :-)

Great review, it was funny to watch you squeeze into those rear seats.
Thanks for the detailed illustration
I've watched a few of these videos because I'm in the market and I've actually concluded that this car is a good comparison with the Jaguar F-Type
Still watching in 2021.... the road to Bremerton tho 😍😍

I think you are.
Your the only one
Yeah, the only one
He sounds more like Ross from Friends
Damn. I'm sold. Especially after reading sheilarb77 customization notes!!
Good review all of good information its here nice job
Great review. I'm buying this car at the end of this month.
Did u get the car? I am actually in the market for one and wanted to know how was your experience with the RC.
@@kelvinfelicianodid u get the car? I’m buying one tomorrow

Yes. Rc350 is best for daily sports. Im too old for v8 sports. Burns too much gas. I can take this car on a road trip. Love mine!

I think it’s a good starting car for anyone that’s coming from a ford or Honda
What is the advantage of using aluminum for the upper and lower control arm? Love watching your videos! Definitely learn a lot from them!
Brian Mitchell Weighs less, and also decreases unsprung weight (in this case, weight only partially supported by the suspension).
After this review, all my desire to buy has disappeared.
Great Review Man.
stunning car and great review
Looks like the same suspension on my 1978 Pinto and 1993 Ford Thunderbird.
That color is amazong
Gorgeous car!!
amazing review. you are awesome
That's what you call a review - I really it, thanks!
Great video thanks for the info
I own this car and you taught me things I didn’t know lol. Love driving it fast and being able to do a u-turn wherever.
Great review!
Nice review bro!
Is a 2015 Lexus RC 350 a reliable car to buy in 2019? i know German used luxury cars come at a high repair/maintenance cost
Of course! Its lexus.
Beautiful! Just wish for 60 more hp
Try and get a review of a 2015 mustang 5.0. I sat in one at the philly car show and it was one of the most comfortable things I've ever sat in, i swear i could've drove cross country in the thing.
Would love to, there just hasn't been one in Portland.
I am in the market for a new, used or leased vehicle and have narrowed my preferences to the Lexus RC and BMW 4 series. I love the aesthetics of Lexus, but almost every review I see gives the BMW 4 series higher marks for driveability. I like the 2-door/coupe body, need safety, quality, warranty, maintenance packages and fuel efficiency. Is there a particular year and model that you prefer for both manufacturers that you could recommend so I can do more research and test drive prior to making my purchasing decision?
can you review the Toyota 86
Sorry, no.
@@billiebobbienorton2556 no one asked u fuckboy
Billie Bob Norton III Lol put 10k into a brz/86 and it’ll crush the Lexus in everything but comfort.
I love your videos.
Great looks. Decent performance. I have a 2013 GS and like it, but wondered if it would be better to have an RC. This review made me feel better about my car as it seems the differences are minimal plus I think my interior is nicer than this car.
Also, I drove a '15 GS and it had the 8-speed instead of the 6-speed like mine, and I really didn't like the way the 8-speed drove. Weird feeling and kind of slushy unless you go sport plus.
That’s the vista house cruise!!!
the air induction's actually a resonator to cancel out the noise I believe
Acura has a much better interior room than any other of the lexus. I think the interior of the RC 350F needs to be redesigned and needs to be a little bit longer in dimensions. That's just my suggestion.
Love your review. hope you can review evo x too
Nice, review. I thought that looked familiar, Historic Columbia River Highway, fun road.
That'd be awesome if you did some videos of Oregon, I lived there for a couple years and miss it...
Nice review, but I think your reviews lack true dynamic handling testing. It would be nice if you could test vehicles on/over their limit, but this would require access to a track or something similar.
Your comments about the RC350 F-sport are strikingly similar to reviews of the RC-F, the main thing is it being simply too heavy. With the RC-F and GS-F just launched we are at least 5-6 years away from a new platform from Lexus. I hope to see lighter and turbocharged cars from them then! I currently own a IS200 Sport with 6 speed manual box and LSD, if Lexus could make a modern and light equivalent of that car I would be delighted. Here in Europe we are cursed compared to the US of A: we only get the 2.5L V6 and the inline 4 hybrid. The 3.5L V6 is not sould in Europe.. So my next car is most likely going to be a BMW I think..
I think it might also be nice to do a video about Variable Gear Ratio Steering! I am interested how it works.
