2020 Lexus LC500 FULL REVIEW: The Greatest Car in the WORLD
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 13 ก.ย. 2020
- Yeah, I know @ThrottleHouse just reviewed this car (and did it better, if I'm being honest), but did they review it while being 6'6" and American? No, no they didn't, so here's a large American's review of the Lexus LC500, a car that deserves SO MUCH more credit than it gets for being absolutely amazing. Hope you enjoy the review. Let me know in the comments whose review you think was better... Or you could just leave a comment about who think was taller....

Already in my 3rd year of ownership and I concur with your review. Absolutely awesome grand tourer, inside and out.
Thank you so much! I'm eying one for sure after this review.
How’s the ride? Is it bumpy and harsh? Any creaks and rattle noises?
@@Gemini530 I'm sure a long term owner's perspective will be more valuable, but I can say that in the week I had it the car rode incredibly well in normal mode (even Sport isn't harsh, and I personally don't mind Sport+), and the structure feels absolutely rock solid. The interior quality is impeccable.
JAX ... Thanks. I watched some reviews that said that it does not handle road imperfections well, that’s why I wanted to know directly from an actual owner 👍🏻
Alexander A as a GT car, it certainly rides smoother than the Carrera 4S I owned before. The structure is rock solid without a single rattle or shake.
10 months now in my LC500 and I wholeheartedly agree with your opinion on this review. I've owned a lot of cars, this is an amazing vehicle. Impresses me more every day.
That's awesome! Glad to hear it. And thanks for watching!
congrats on your LC500!
Great review, honest for sure. And very entertaining on how you describe your experience with the 500. Your FAS review convinced me to look closer at this beast. So, I did at a Lexus dealer. Wo, vids and pictures don't do it justice. Seriously... Up close its breathtaking. Timeless, Art Nouveau curves that go on and on. The fit and trim is simply perfection. Then that nat asperated V8 sound on start up, and cranked was beyond spiritual, no joke. I traded in my Z Nismo which was in my blood, and I never thought I'd breakup with her.. lol New girl friend now and I'm never looking back... thanks again!
No problem! Glad you liked it. Enjoy the car. Now I just need to look into getting that sales commission... 😜
I agree, I’m trading in my beloved 2010 Vette in Velocity Yellow. I will probably have this car till the end putting only 2k on it a year. That’s okay it’s driveway jewelry 🏖️
Amazing review, it’s criminal that this only has 5k views!
Thank you so much! All off my music comes from Epidemic Sound. 👍🏻
Most beautiful Japanese vehicle in production at this point of time, no doubt.
I think you're right. Thanks for watching! 🙏🏻
Ok now that I have finished this vid (which is the first of yours I've been privileged to see) I totally get you and I am now a happy subscriber. Great stuffff!
I loved the review and the line “ See your doctor to see if Lexus V8 engine is right for you” 😂😂😂😂 . You love your nice blend of facts and entertainment. Probably the best reviews I've seen on this vehicle. This is a awesome vehicle. Look forward to the next video.
Thank you so much for the kind words! And thanks for watching. 👍🏻
Haha it's true, He is doing a great job
You're the coolest reviewer right now 😂 goodjob.. I will subscribe just because of this.. I'm not easily impress, so it is good that you did it.
Why thank you! And welcome!
I was all set to buy a 2020 used RCF - then I saw the prices of 2018 LC500's and they were really close. Now leaning very hard LC500. Thanks for the review - outstanding job!
Thanks! Completely agree. The RCF is fun, but the LC feels truly special.
Get the LC... there need to be some on the used market when I can finally afford one😂
This is the best review I’ve seen so far !! U are honest and at the same time appreciate this car as it is a awsome gt road car !! I know as I own a black on black with performance option .
Thanks so much! And thanks for watching 🙏🏻
you deserve way more views, the production quality is amazing. Keep up the great work!!
Thanks so much! And thanks for watching! 🙏🏻
You still have flip phone?
Other cars may have faster 0-60 times or greater handling. Some vehicles are roomier with more up to date tech and better creature comforts. Only the Lexus LC500 offers this level of refinement, comfort, performance, and RELIABILITY!!!!. Vehicles from Germany, Britain, or Italy are sexy but incredibly unreliable and stupidly expensive even for regular maintenance. This Lexus is definitely greater than the sum of its parts.
Absolutely right! Thanks so much for watching!
Thats why I like it, it’ll be reliable. It looks more expensive than it is, but you’re not getting crazily ripped off. You’re getting a reliable car!
You have that right !!!!
Just taken delivery of my LC500 Sport + in Tori red and absolutely love it, before buying I looked at the Porsche 911, Beamer 8 series and Merc S coupes but the weren’t individual enough for me.
Here in the UK there are are only 428 examples in the UK at the time of writing so get plenty of looks and loads of questions when I park up.
Great review
Thank you so much! Glad you're enjoying the car. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
The reviewer is an absolute legend, extremely entertaining. Great review! What a V8 beast.
I appreciate the vote of confidence! Thanks for watching! 🙏🏻
Well done...good honest review and fas. I need to buy a 500 now..!
Thanks! And thanks for watching! 🙏🏻
The quality on these videos just keeps going up!
Thanks! 🙏🏻
Great review man, also really nice cinematography!
I am a huge Lexus fan myself and my whole channel is for Lexus :D
Thanks so much! Means even more coming from such a Lexus fan 😉👍🏻
Great Review
Just hit a year with my 2021 LC500 ! I am amazed this is a Lexus ! Fast , luxurious and fun ! Blows away my 911’s and SL’s !
Truly excellent car. Glad you like it, and thanks for watching! 🙏🏻
Love your review of the LC, one of the best with the ones of Savagegeese. Great photo, sound, music, editing, and humor. You have a very nice deep voice. I subscribed.
Thank you! Glad you liked it, and thanks for watching 🙏🏻
I loved it! Humorous and informative.
Why thank you! And thanks for watching! 🙏🏻
Amazing trial!
Thanks for the detail and beautiful screen
Thank you!
Great review! love the LC
Thank you! 🙏🏻
Great review!
Had one for over a year. Head tuner with great sounding naturally aspirated V8. I had all to chrome deleted and is stealth mode looking. Not the fastest car but for the legal road limits, it' enough.
Thanks so much! I like the stealth idea. Thanks for watching! 🙏🏻
Very high quality video, thanks man. I'm in Atlanta too btw
Thanks! I appreciate it. And thanks for watching 🙏🏻
I have to and I did subscribe to this channel, like a couple of reviews already watched from this channel and it’s just amazing, great content and very informative; keep the great job👍
Thank you so much! And welcome to the channel 🙏🏻
Great review. Very entertaining and accurate. Love my LC500
Thank you!
Great review of the Lexus LC500!! Thanks!! I agree with you 100% about how great this car is. I just picked up a 2021 convertible, and it’s absolutely fabulous. It has seriously unique and stunning looks, and is a very rare car on the road. I financed it, and plan on keeping it and enjoying it for many many years. In a short time, we won’t be able to walk into a dealership and buy a car like this with an engine like this. This type of car, and definitely this type of engine, will be obsolete, in the next few years.
Thank you so much! I agree that the LC is a very special car, one that I think will only continue to be appreciated as time passes. Thanks so much for watching! 🙏🏻
The LC, fully loaded, is my dream car. Who knows, maybe after I’ve owned the upcoming IS500 for awhile, I’ll upgrade to it. Great review!
Thank you! Got the vert right now for testing, so that review will be coming soon. I'm also really excited about that IS500.... 😈
Rear seats ‘medieval torture device’ 😂😂 love the humour right through this review! So well done! 👏👏
Thanks so much!
👏👏👏 great review I need a LC500 in my life
Thanks! Me, too!
First, the humor game is strong. Solid review and spot on. Be well and keep the dream alive.
💥💯💥
Thanks so much! And thanks for watching 🙏🏻
The best luxury GT Coupe for under 200K. The joy of owning a luxury V8 just unparalleled experience that there are few alternatives out there( V10, V12). Lexus design and attention to details bring the LC500 up to another level among luxury Coupes. This vehicle could only appreciate in value over time in the future when natural aspirated engine V8s become extinct.
All good points! It's certainly a special car. Thanks for watching!
Ha Ha "Under 200K". Snapperhead
yes JAX is back!
Where did I go....? 🤔
Loved the review astonishing job. The Lexus LC 500 is directed towards a more mature audience someone who appreciates art and pays close attention to details the ambiance the ultimate luxury sweet spot in between conservative and goddy. I've been a believer in the Lexus vision since I was a kid it all started with the Lexus SC400 which I believe the LC 500 is in modern day Reincarnation of. My dream is to own one of these. Some people don't understand the sacrifice of speed and stats for feeling and connection.
Well said! Thanks so much for watching! 🙏🏻
Sc400 was an absolute monster and german car destroyer.
yes it was it was one of my favorite cars Sleek lines futuristic Innovative design I would still purchase one to this day for my collection if I had one LOL
I like how you are reviewing this car.
Thanks!
Love the yellow 😍. I'll get the last year that is produced -used & keep it! They might be future classics (20) years from...
I absolutely think it will, and I really like your plan. Might have to copy it... 😜
Nice video dude
Thank you! And thanks for watching!
People who buy this car know this is not a 911 or AMG GT, nor will it break down or cost that much in high maintenance. This car is in its own class. It is faster than 90% of cars on the road, but that NA V8 is something else. Great honest review and thank you.
Thanks for watching!
Great review! I just test drove a 2018 model with 35k miles. It felt like a brand new car.
Don’t doubt it. They’re incredibly well built. Hope you’re able to pick one up, and thanks for watching 🙏🏻
My fav review ever, period, false stop! I just bought one 🥇
Awesome, congrats!
Great review and great video!! What is the best colour for this car: red or white? Thank you
Both are nice, but I think it would look pretty great in white
Great review, I agree somewhat with the infotainment system, its not really that bad, but understand you don't really have the car long enough to explore everything in great detail, you have a option of bringing up a menu on the right hand side of the map, climate controls, radio station etc, i leave the climate controls there, this means it only one click to easily put on heated/cooled seats, and the heated steering wheel, alternatively just use the concierge system and you don't need to touch anything, it does it all automatically for you.
That's a great point! I generally think the idea behind Toyota/Lexus and Acura's infotainment systems is good, but the tactile interface needs to get closer to iPhone levels; however, this LC seemed to have a slightly better trackpad calibration than the last few Lexus vehicles I've driven (or maybe I'm just getting more used to it, as you said). Thanks for the info, though! It's helpful to hear from owners who have lived with the vehicles. And thanks for watching! 🙏🏻
The
If Mr. Smith from The Matrix was a car reviewer. Great video, well done.
Is that you, Mr Anderson...?
18:02 You're forgetting about the back seat. You can toss quite a few bags in there in addition to the tiny trunk.
19:19 Oh, my good man. We differ here, as I DO think this car is "achingly beautiful", so much so that I kept telling my wife "it's too pretty for me to buy and own". She said I was nuts to think that way. Meanwhile, I continue to think it is one of the most beautiful cars made by man.
Bro, I own a black on black freshly-waxed 2015 Lexus RCF perf pkg (thing is a rock-solid tank and never breaks), and love the LC500 - agreed on greatest car. Coupled with your line, "Ask your doctor...", this just may be the GREATEST car review video as well.
Thank you for the kind words! I really appreciate it 🙏🏻
subscribed bcoz you are saying the best things of my car lol, love what you were saying turn off everything just listen to the engine sound, I do that all the times, engine sound is the best Audio of the car!
Thank you so much! 🙏🏻 And glad you like your car so much. It's pretty fantastic! Thanks for watching!
Almost 40k subs!! LETS GO!!!
Thanks, man! 👍🏻
I'm getting mine this or next week (whenever the winter tires arrive)... Cabriolet in dark grey with the red/black interior and black top. It looks stunning in person
That's awesome! Sounds beautiful, too. Thanks for watching! 🙏🏻
@@jax1079 my pleasure, you're way funny, too!
Thanks so much!
Cool review.
Thanks!
I am a Lexus guy through and through. My 2023 Lc500 Convertible is on order and should be here in time for spring. The yellow was my first choice but couldn’t find an interior color that I liked. This car is a rolling piece of art🏖️
Agree. Somehow the Lexus LC still remains underrated as one of the coolest cars on the road. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
I have the LC500 in that color. Great review!!! Once you set the Climate Concierge to your favorite temperature you don't need to go through that touchpad. I agree it's not as intuitive as the system in a Stinger or Genesis.
Thank you so much, and thanks for watching! 🙏🏻
I just tested a performance pack coupe last week and it blew me away. What a car.
Absolutely! It's awesome. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
I had a convertible version in green made . It took six months but picked it up with 9 kilometers last week cant stop smiling
That's awesome! I actually just tested the convertible as well. Fantastic car. Thanks for watching! 🙏🏻
I never thought I would like a yellow color car. That yellow is my favorite on Lexus lc500
Yet here we are 😂
Picked up the silver one with maroon interior a couple weeks ago. Best car I’ve owned hands down
Nice! Congrats!
Correction, the Sport package doesn’t have rear steering assist & active rear spoiler. Those are in the performance package
Ahh, thanks for the correction 👍🏻 And thanks for watching! 🙏🏻
The production quality/editing/cinematography is always top notch in these videos. The cherry on top is the car being an LC. also, anyone know what brand his shades are?
Thanks! They're Blenders, but I don't live them. I'm a fan of Spy sunglasses, and I'm currently wearing Goodr. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
🤯 that’s exclusive at a more affordable price range‼️
Best 6’6” car reviewer in the world
Thanks! There's not many of us. Really just me and Clarkson 😂
Agreed on every single point. The greatest car in the world, this is now.
Thanks! And thanks for watching! 🙏🏻
@@jax1079 of course, awesome review. The GS F is definitely going to be my next car until I can afford having 2 cars and then I can have an LC500, lol
Hahaha Bro! I love my LC and have been daily driving it for 3yrs. Agree with everything you’ve said! 🙏🏾
Glad you like it! And thanks for watching 🙏🏻
@@jax1079re watching this and it’s so good lol. Again, awesome upload! 🙏🏾🤙🏾🔥
Your presentation is as underrated as the LC500.
Thank you so much! 🙏🏻
you are the best , simply like lc 500 !!!
Thanks so much! 🙏🏻
gorgeous car
If you’re buying one are you going coupe or convertible? Which color?
Coupe in dark gray or dark red
Don’t we feel just a little bit sorry for the guys who bought German, Italian and British supercars thinking their world would be ideal? They failed to understand that five minutes of going fast isn’t worth three weeks at the dealership. The nice thing is we all get to choose. For those of us driving the LC 500, we’ve got the best of all worlds and especially the part about reliability. Simple routine maintenance is all it takes for years of trouble, free driving. In fact, I don’t even think the LC 500 has such a thing as limp mode or a Pyro fuse. These cars just seem to run forever trouble free.
I’ll buying one this year!!!
That's awesome! Best of luck and thanks for watching!
theres a lot to choose from if you have the money at this price range, i would have it though, its pure class without being stuffy or boring and not afraid to do its own thing.
Absolutely true! It's an easy way to stand out from the crowd in that price range. Thanks for watching! 🙏🏻
The manual paddles are not "metal" (or plastic as I saw in other videos......), they're actually magnesium. Just wanted to let people know..... Had this car (a 2020 w/perf) for 6 months now. It is all what you say... GT, not sport, amazing in every aspect and, most importantly for me, completely different from anything else. You can compare a BMW 850 to an S-Class coupe and put the LC in the same category if you will, but it's really not. I don't think it compares to anything else on the market. Had my doubts at the beginning, but after 6 months I am now completely sure of that statement. Thanks JAX for the great review!
Thank you for the kind words, and thanks for watching! 🙏🏻
Buying an lc 500 for life
Sounds like a good plan
Lexus should of made the LC into a 2 seater GT car like the Aston Martin db11 and also lost some of it's weight. Still one of my dream cars though.
A worthy dream car, for sure. And don't the DB series cars have baby back seats as well? Thanks for watching! 🙏🏻
Great review. The LC 500 IS the finest car produced today at any price. Without exception.
Well it’s certainly a good one. No doubt about that. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Jax when you were revving it
were you in neutral or park ?
Sorry, at this point I honestly don’t remember. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
@@jax1079 your a great youtuber keep it up!
@@freshdotholla Thank you! 🙏🏻
I subcribed jsut becasue of this video
Thanks! And welcome 🙏🏻
sounded like a review by agent smith, of a car fittingly from the matrix... i love it!
No one can be told what the Matrix is. You have to be shown... :-) Thanks for watching!
Nothing close to Lc , period , great review thank you.
Thanks for watching! 🙏🏻
A very beautiful car !!!✋☀️
I'm buying one!!
That's awesome! Hope you enjoy it!
When you do come pick me up LOL
@@jax1079 the LC is definitely a gentleman's luxury gran tourer! Sophistication like no other. I got a 2018 Infrared with the performance package. I am in love for sure.
Currently own an RC 300 F Sport. Thinking of trading it in for either an RC F or this beauty. Still a long long loooong way before I do. But it's never too soon to dream & hope.
It's 100 percent worth it. Tested the RCF two months ago, and don't get me wrong: it's got a lot going for it. But this feels SO much more special. It's got ten times the presence and sense of occasion. Not as practical, but damn it's a sweet ride. And the engine sounds even better in the LC... 😉👍🏻 Thanks for watching!
trunk space is definitely an issue...rcf fits 2 golf bags
@@veeman2939 yeah that's definitely something to consider aside from the blood pressure dropping MPG.
@@veeman2939 True, but the RCF looks like the LC's little brother who was beaten by the mafia and tossed into a river... Only to be found three weeks later.
JAX how is the rcf more practical than the lc (besides having bigger trunk space)?
Good overview. After driving this car I found myself wanting a bit more sport feel from the car. I wouldn't mind sacrificing a little luxury for it
Thanks! I think there are plenty of more sporty cars to be had in that price range; however, I think the LC is unique in its combination of luxury and style. Can't go wrong with a used 911 if you're prioritizing sportiness 😉👍🏻
That's what the Lexus LFA is for
That’s what the RC F Is for
Why do people keep saying this car is 'not fast enough'? How fast do you want it to go?
I think it's the looks. It looks like a Spaceship, so people want it to drive like one.
@@jax1079 That's true!
I own one from 2017 it is a beautiful car have some issues.The exhaust look it is not very good looking the infortaiment system it is very bad and it is quait heavy car and not enough power.The good points are a lot:general look is still very futurist with good proportion nice song of the engine and extremly good quality of all material.It is time now to work a little on it to look much better.
What does everyone think of LC500 in Atomic Silver?
Personally, I don't think the silver flatters the lines of the car as much as some of the other colors, but that's just me.
The question is, should I get it in yellow or red?
Red
Blue. Stunning
I thought yellow exterior could not be obtained with caramel interior? Perfect colour combo
It is, but I think the green and caramel might be the sexiest combo. Love that look!
i will get this car
Best of luck! And thanks for watching!
I own this car in white. His description s accurate. I don't listen to music in the LC.... just the engine and exhaust note.
Valid. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
I’m guessing you would not reject this car because of the small boot. Besides there is always the luxury storage area, otherwise known as the back seats.
This is true
Actually the 2024 with the touch Navi is harder and more distractive than the touch track pad according to owners
I could see that, especially in the LC where the coupe layout doesn't cater well to a touch screen. Kind of a lose/lose situation on that one.
They could/can/should? Still completely returned the car for Fsport trim and chase Nuremberg times
Yes…?
100 % right !!! Best car !!!!!
I like to think so! Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
A Japanese made V8 is without a doubt a precision built piece of machinery, like a fine Swiss watch, that with routine maintenance, will give you a lifetime of driving pleasure!
Absolutely
You don't know what I'm thinking. When I saw the title I thought "accurate".
Maybe I do know what you’re thinking… 🤔
@@jax1079 lol 🤣🤣 scary
This will eventually be known as one of the greatest cars ever made. Grab one while you can.
This is true. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Wish the yellow exterior were available with the red interior.
It’s a secret cheat code. Just type in “McDonald’s Spec” and it will appear 😏
I love this Lexus. I just have to say though, my Jaguar's 5L exhaust sounds better. The Lexus has the better interior though, hands down.
Don't disagree on either account 😉👍🏻
I agree
I am not a big fan of the car but your creativity and entertainment is off the chart awesome!
Thank you so much! And thanks for watching 🙏🏻
I drive the 500h Sport+. Love the V8 sound but in my part of the wold gas is very expensive so the hybrid makes sense.
Great point! Thanks for watching! 🙏🏻
It does 0-60 in 4.4 seconds. That’s not fast enough?
I'm spoiled 🤣
@@jax1079 Not a thing wrong with that whatsoever. Go you! :) I drove one of these last week and to me it was so powerful that the difference between 4.4 seconds to 3.4 seconds would not have even been noticeable to me. Less than 3.4 would have been, but I can’t say that’s a level of acceleration I’d ever need.
