I worked for a BMW dealership and I will chose the Lexus every time. Great engineering is reliable engineering. Not just turbo horsepower.
The first repair bill you have to pay for the BMW or Merc will buy you 50 years worth of gas for the RCF
Sounds like someone's biassss
Owned c63 from 2010 and still going strong not a single repair. Also owned es300 from 2009 and had to get alternator and headlight replaced. So I don’t know if your input makes sense. Don’t get me wrong Japanese hands down win when it comes to longevity but you treat German cars right, I don’t see them breaking down but yeah they are expensive to fix but not a lot to be very honest. You can compare dealer oil changes from Lexus and merc
NoYoureWrong I my GLC43 AMG beat this crap from a dig to 85mph. I was ahead of him by three cars and he was stunned and did a flybys. Lexus IS not in the league of AMG! I have been driving Japanese cars my for years and this is my first Mercedes. Very reliable and powerful for its size. 27k miles with no issues
Evin Herzberg Fact: Lexus/Toyota are ranked #1 in resale reliability. German cars, generally, are unreliable garbage with the fastest depreciation rates in the automotive world.

i hit 35mpg in my rcf and put 1000 miles a week in it. Cars comfortable for me and all reviews say the same thing about the RCF that its heavy, etc. For those looking at this car just drive the car yourself and base your own opinion cause i love my rcf.
1. Theres not alot of them on the road so its nice being rare
2. Still plenty of compliments from random people
3. Power is there, handling is there, reliability is there.
4. Yes the m4 is faster and the c63 is faster but either way its not that much faster than an rcf also driver mod and you can easily take them out.
5. Some people may think that the interior is out to date but i think its just fine to me, Its comfortable for me might be for you to.
I get 15mpg for my GSF
ruclips.net/video/L5NPkfXc1wE/видео.html
^No driver can fix a gap like that. The m4 is a second (or more) faster from 100 to 200. And with the comp pack it destroys the rcf on every track. The relibility is also there with the s55 engine. The trade off for owning rcf over germans is you get better induction noise and exhuast too(not in c63s case though). Not hatinf on rcf i love seeing them on the street but its not like the isf when it came out. That gave the germans a run for their money in every category for a performance sedan for the street. Apart from build quality, materials paint, practicality, ergonomics blah blah the thing was a serious performer for the time. And on top of that was def more reliable.
@Romero Bryan lol my friendd rcf was on par with my e92 m3 manual....vs m4 there was no chance. He even said about 7 months ago he regrets not getting m4. Its better overall car ther eis no doubt the performance gap is quite big in straight line.
I think my best on a run was around 36
@@alinmatti786 I get 16mpg on my GS350 :(
Well, $82.000 for 10-15 years of use? It is fcking cheaper than any European cars!!! And it is fcking amazing reliable!!!
Shouldn't cost you 82. 72 maybe new. 60 slightly used
The highest mileage RCF is at 100k+ miles, owner said he hasn't had problems with the car. Second highest was around 70k no problems. The only problem with this car is the active spoiler not working at times, and there's a solution found already. Second would be premature wear on some owner's seats but it could be because of a lot of reasons. But ur talking sports car 100k+ miles? Majority of owners stated no problems yet. Havent had any problems in my 30k.
Yes but it looks like a BRZ from Subaru
@@MikeDMays no it doesnt. Put them side by side. This blows that vaper's dream away in style

carbon one got better exhaust and electronic wing.
This car is pretty unique , rare, and gorgeous. I see M4s and C63s all the time.
u must live in dubai.
Youre rigght very rare you dont see them on every block
@@alexini5 Here in the uk I see M4s and C63s very often
This car is so overlooked...but it's such a unique and beautiful car
Do you really see beauty? I think it looks pieced together. And that front end. Wow!. That's all I can say.
I agree. this car looks killer in design inside and out. Very unique and cool
I love unique, Hopefully, my next car.
So true bro toyota my brand.number one brand in the world.king i say king
Eric Dolby Its a unique and head turning car but it’s no beauty.
It's a wonderful car. I enjoy every minute I can have with it on the roads.
I'm glad that the internet influencers bashed this car so hard at it's start. It allowed us to make splendid deals when the used models came on the market. And, in a way, it's still the case. A splendid overlooked pure Gran Turismo car.
They just mad because toyota lexus was first to build a 8speed tranny in a super car.yes lexus toyota was first to build it.not bmw r benz r any other auto maker.lexus tek is way past german junks.self parking st..... toyota did it b4 all of them way back in 2008 in d ls 4 sumtime car.toyota natural aspr..engine .germans need help turbos launch control.toyota king
Bob Outélama let them bash it. Sheep can buy their German money pits which are common as fords. We drive our perfect “Toyota”
I believe it's more complicated. There is clearly a herd behavior in those car testers. When two or three are starting to bash hard, you clearly don't want to be on the side of the one who didn't jumped the hate wagon, because you will have to work much harder to defend your position. Car reviewers are confronted, all day, with magnificent rockets on wheels, and, other thing, they must not pay to maintain them. At the end of the day, the work was done and they go home. We don't, we will still have our cars,, even if the light goes out, and it's where the difference is. @@tashinasimpson1927
This guys didn’t mention m4 and c63 costs more than this and less power. Those are not even reliable. He is blaming 5 litter NA engine for what? For it has a better sound? Or for it’s never broken as those turbos? He doesn’t even know about cars. Such a shame.
Well spoken.
I think it'll be a good used car bargain in a few years, that's the beauty of n/a / boring Toyota products...
It has a better sound than a C63 AMG and a M4? Yet you have the balls to call his knowledge in cars. Go back into your Camry hole with Autozone chrome parts. That sounds more like your thing.
Nimit Desai yes of course it sounds better than them. Btw I have a modified m240 and a x5. Are you talking about your Camry?
J Knox that’s because you got the wrong c63.
I agree with you on most things in this video but few things to mention. Yes this car is 4000LBS, but so is C63. Yes M4 is lighter but not AMG. And on the pricing 82K is expensive but C63 or M4 can get near 100K Easily. Speaking relatively, 82K isn't bad (I think most RCFs are optioned around 75k). Last thing is, RCF rides LOT more smoother than AMG or M. I consider this car a GT car rather than, sports/track car which AMG and M are more oriented towards. And the excitement of having high revving big NA V8 is gem these days.
All very good points. Thanks for commenting.
You can always remove the unnecessary interior trims like back seats, interior panels etc. If you really want a performance car.
So true.a man once told me he drove bmw benz.and lexus.he said none of them come close to ride as good as toyota lexus
If someone FORCED me into a german vehicle, it would be the M2 + a tune... pray it lasts 36 months, then re-flash the ECU to stock and hand it back in after the lease is up!
Former owner of a 2017 m4. Still think the RCF's interior is nicer.
Sweet mercy....where do you start with this review without trolling? If a person can swing an 85k car, trust me we’re not interested in MPGs or tire cost...you think that’s what we’re talking about at the track or car meets? Performance figures....A freaking Model 3 is quicker on the street than the cars in this segment...it’s not why we keep buying or trying each one of these cars every 2-3 years. I don’t own this car...just a gear head that enjoys the differences that we have these days...the reviewer completely missed the spirit of what the RC F is.
The best thing about it is the naturally aspirated engine bro! The sound the feeling the throttle response!
& the hand break (foot break) is fantastic for turn the car side ways 😁
That 5.0L V8 will still be running 15+ years from now. Can't say that about the BMW or Mercedes
Let's talk realistically, I believe the car enthusiast community has gone to... absolute shit. The problem these days is that millennials which make up a good portion of the community are so fixated on the wrong aspect of vehicles(and yes i'm a millennial as well). These days, "car enthusiasts" are so focused on how much horse power, how fast is the car... but did you forget how much it costs to own the car? How comfortable is the car to drive and own? How is the car going to hold up? Is it worth the money? People look at the RCF and they hear too slow, too heavy, "ugly". What I see is one of the best bang for your buck all around car. You get the luxury, reliability of a Lexus-Toyota, you get the comfortable ride, you get a car capable of pushing 500whp, you get a car that will last you a long time, can you say the same for a f82/f80? I've had a M4, and I now own a Lexus RCF. The M4 was so tail happy, great pure driving vehicle. As an everyday vehicle it was nowhere near my RCF and that was the selling point. People look at the numbers and think wow this cars slower so its shittier, well shit if you never drove it and you think i'm buying this car to track it all the time then you've got it mistaken. Trading in my M4 for my RCF was the BEST decision, also hated the sound of my M4, I went to get a custom made exhaust, tried the burble tune, and the f82 just sounded so shit. I'm in love with my RCF's exhaust, a meisterschaft exhaust makes the car sound so good. Also, the design of the RCF stands out a lot more, and to me the RCF has what the M4 doesn't. What the M4 doesn't is aesthetically it isn't unique to its own, you know it's a RCF when you see it, for an M4 without the badge only those who have an idea about M's know what trim it is. You know it's bad when in reality, the 435/440 is a better buy than the M4. As to the weight of the RCF, I fixed it by simply adding the Ti exhaust, and putting it on coils. Reality of it is that the RCF vs M4 is only 0.5s and the RCF is a whopping 500 lbs heavier as well, so what does that say to the doubters when BMW went from a heavier V8 to a v6 w/ turbo, and is 500lbs lighter and only managing to beat the RCF by .5s. However, to each's own I just prefer the RCF after owning an M4. I have yet to have any problems with the car after 30k miles, just oil changes and the regular maintenance, and the one thing I don't miss is the gas consuming beast the M4 was compared to the RCF.
😭 other people disagree with my personal preference 😭. That’s what you come off as. If your looking at cost to own in this bracket then chances are your looking outside your price range. looking at these types of cars and considering CTO you’d be better off considering mustang or camaro
I’m totally in the same boat as u. And well said
To give you the simple answer, doesn’t matter what brand or type of vehicle you prefer. It’s how deep them pockets are.
AMEN
The M4 has a turbo inline 6 not a V6 turbo
One thing that most reviewers don't do. Address the issues. You do your perfectly! Subscribed!
How come when these haters compare the RC to the Germans they never mention they're north of $100k...Also how comfortable, reliable & better residual value than the Germans.
Take my money. My next car is definitely gonna be a Lex.
😂....lexus sucks!💯
Autopia Alana Lewis How do you know that?
This car is not particular good when new but it will become much better when getting old. I own both 2017 GSF(7K miles) and 2007 G35S(110K miles) and did 0-60 on both. Guess what? G was 5.05 and GSF was 4.93. I also expect my new GSF will do better than my old Nissan in the future. By the way my old G was a used auction car before and has been almost ZERO issue for near 9 year ownership. So all of the parts are still OLD original factory parts except maintenance items...
I had a 93 ls400 and the quality was so nice and drivetrain was both bulletproof on paper and the real world. As for this being better old, I can definitely agree with, unfortunately for me, 2015 models are still expensive.
Wait till you get to a million miles.... It would probably still be running lol
This is such a beautiful car😍 Cheap plastic and fake carbon fiber doesn't matter when you have a nice car. This right here is my dream car. If only I could afford one
i test drove one two weeks ago that was straight piped, I'm now picking one up this week :)
Beautiful car and reliable I bet! I would recommend it over the Mercedes and BMW just because of the reliability...
I regularly get 32 mpg on the highway even after having full bolt ons with a stage 2 tune. I'm pumping out 530 HP and still getting great gas economy when I'm not hammering the throttle.
Another Lexus hating reviewer like Doug DeMauro. If you’re going to compare them to BMW and Mercedes and not mention Lexus’s reliability is FAR MORE SUPERIOR than right away you lost my interest. Yes this RC F is too heavy but that is the only major negative. The interior quality is by far superior to anything. Yes the infotainment system is dated but who cares about that I’m looking at the road when I’m driving. I won’t be tracking mine when I get one and that’s perfectly fine with me. The RC F is a incredible GT cruiser and it will be more retirement gift to myself
If you want rcf for the track get the track edition. The regular rcf is great car I love it. I haven’t had one prblem just regular maintenance
Yes. Toyota/Lexus dependability is much better than BMW or Mercedes. If you need to get to the grocery store and seconds matter, go with the European cars. If low cost of ownership, rock solid dependability and highest of resale values are the crux of your concerns, go with the Lexus. This normally aspirated Lexus will be going strong long after the competition has to rebuild or replace those turbos.
I wish they would match the torque with the HP. Don't be discouraged by Lexus pricing they're very open to negotiations especially with their performance lineup.
For $82,000 I’ll take the car over and $82,000 BMW or Mercedes any day the week because those calls are going to be breaking like crazy
Best quality, comfort and luxury, but slower than amg, M and rs... im a lexus sales agent here in O.C. Cal.
The Average client doesn’t want a sports car but a car that shows status, and that’s were lexus and specifically The RCF goes in
How do you not have more likes? 👍🏼
I’m in the OC area too. I love my RCF. It’s my 2nd Lexus, but hands down the quality, comfort and luxury is all there. Firing up the car never gets old. She’s def a keeper.
Just for the pure v8, regardless of the comparison of 0-60, I’m down
It's an amazing car, wish to own it someday ! I favor it over the BMW and Mercedes .
I love everything about my rcf Only thing that could be fixed is it should weigh less which would easily make it faster than the competitors.
Well...85k is a lot. But, if you’re not getting at least $15k discount then you’re shopping wrong. Agreed, the nav is terrible, but those “cheap plastics” aren’t plastic, it’s aluminum. I bought a 2019 anniversary because of the V8 and it’s uniqueness (and reliability). Didn’t consider the BMW or Merc since I’ve had them in the past and they’re headaches. For a great looking, fast GT car, this is it.
This car is a 5.0 liter NA rear wheel drive 2008 R35 GTR. If you compare the two on specs alone you will note that it is not too far off either. Yes, that’s how good it is. As for the type of buyer, I think it will appeal to anyone who can appreciate Luxury, Performance and most of all, Reliability. Something the other brands most often struggle to achieve. Well done to Lexus on cornering the market and producing a masterpiece.
Can’t wait to buy this in 5 years!
2015s are going for a great price for those who want to stick out.
alchemist you are right, I just get one the 22000mile year 2015 for 43500 dollars.
The problem is that this car is a car that you have to feel it with the heart, I mean, the BMW and the Mercedes are just mental cars made with bi turbos made to the circuit and for guys that just want to see a paper that you are fast, light and having turbos. The Lexus is an atmospheric car that sound incredibly amazing and looks even better and also the sound is huge clean. That car is made to be luxurious and fast, so that means that it weight 300 kg more that the Mercedes and bmw. So I think that you don’t understand why that car is created and you have to feel it with the heart no with the head like a super sport car, when you really understand that car is when you said that is better than the bmw and the Mercedes.
Conclusion: with that weight and no turbos, you get a car with an incredible power and handling that is not as good as bmw and Mercedes ones but is in the same height. The sound is amazing and the engine, this just mean that the car is special and for people that really loves the pure cars with no overpowered engines and fake sounds.
And when you have the opportunity to buy those cars you chose to be one more with a turbocharged engine, or a special car, which gives me all the points to buy the Lexus.
This car is sooooooooooooo beautiful! It looks sporty and elegant! 😍😍😍
The RCF with the new restyling will look awesome!!!
Unsubscribed
i have this car and I love it. It has 140'000km and still like brand new.
you don't know anything about it coz you didn't live with. It's a great car.
definitely unsubscribed
We literally drive 50+ cars a year. We don't "live" with any of them and, thus, our reviews are never from the lived-in viewpoint. Love your car, that's fine. Nobody is saying you can't.
Of course its reliable, its a Toyota...and yet.....its a Toyota
Nacho Miranda lol idk why but Toyota engines can take a big ass beating just look at the 2iz 😂
that is not a 1998 navigation system, thats more like 2015
my mercedes has a 1998 sytem and it works on a cd with a non colour display 😂😂😂
Some very odd comments here that don’t tally when comparing it to rivals. It’s not out dated, the materials are better than rivals, it’s more reliable than rivals and in anything other than bone dry conditions will spanker them. Also it’s a family car! Young kids can easily fit in the back. If I was single I would be getting a 2 seater. Also, the older v8 m3 and c63 are identical weights. If you want a v8 it’s the only choice.
It's really about what you look for in a performance car. If you just lease it or know you will sell it for something else or newer, then getting c63 or m4 is good too and probably is better in terms of track performance. But the german cars will become money pits if you plan on keeping it long term. This is a heavy car because they put in strong long lasting parts for reliability in the long run and don't sacrifice for lighter/performance from parts that won't last as long.
Well said
I wanna see a new isf
Why not learn to use the nav rather than repeat the tired old stuff. Much of what you said came straight from the press kit. You can voice input a destination so easily in this nav system.
I don't care if the M3/M4 and C63 AMG are faster. This is simply a better car.
Compelling arguement you made there...
I'll take the naturally aspirated RCF any day of the week over any German POS competitor. Long term reliability and enjoyment wins every time with a Toyota variant.
That induction noise is really addictive. Does it have ITB's or it's artificial coming through the speakers?
Benz and bmw break....guess what the lexus wont do?
So much for that stop sign at 5:50.
The lexus will last 250,000 miles so on that note alone its the smart choice, great review nonetheless keep up the good work...Yeshua (Jesus Christ) is the way!
This review is a bit biased because the Lexus RC is obviously an old car. Now compare it to a 2015 BMW M4; the BMWs are aging and Lexus is better. Mercedes obviously is the king in this segment.
If you look at the new BMWs, they're modern as heck and they look better than Lexus. Now, do you like the Lexus LC / LS / and ES looks? If you do, then expect to see more of that interior design for the next gen RC / IS / GS (probably not the GS).
who cares about the 0-60 when you're driving this piece of art... the engine alone is far superior than the german (diesel gate liars) cars...
So they changed the body of the RC for the rc350 but not the rcf?
I like the orange brakes, it stands out and it suppose too. Overall good review.
Yes this is better then BMW, Merc and Audi.
I WAS WITH HIM UNTIL THE END. . . HE CONTRADICTS HIMSELF FROM WHAT HE SAID IN THE BEGINNING. . .OVERALL THIS CAR IS AMAZING
So, the same complains since the RCF came out? Isn't a refresh model coming out next year with a lighter more track oriented one too?
PS: I'll probably still see RCF's in 20 years driving around with 200k miles. Lol
@Latvietis96 But those Ms are money pits ;-) or quite a lot of those sold so no surprise you meet some of those. And remember no one from Lexus fans is bashing M as a drivers car it is just defending the option to have something a bit different. And garbage is just BMW macho talk ;-) Did you drive some F cars yet? For a longer drive. M cars are great but to live with F is a more pleasant experience long term. Ownership is better. BMW respect of course, I am a Lexus owner so I have style and grace... ;-)
Latvietis96 so you don’t even have any facts you are just biased. Get your primitive ass out of here with your “sophisticated” German car BULL!
I'd take a 5 litter engine that makes real horse power anyday, turbos break down after long term use , and plus you can slapp a turbo on the rcf and boom you'd be murdering all these M4's and mercedes all day everyday now that's what you call " the relentless pursuit of perfection "
You complain bout plastics and out dated tech and materials....its an $81,000 car dude....its competitor the m4 is a $130,000 car. They are giving you 6 digit performance and comfortability for half the price. Calm down.
M4 starts at $70k.
@@drivingsports my bad. I was think of the m4 CS and its 103000.
Stupididiot review
Give it a sunroof and a 6 speed manual transmission and you have me!
If you are not super hard core, just need infotainment for Bluetooth connection, don't want repair bills. RC-F is the sports car you want.
Honest review but you forgot to mention the Lexus motor is super reliable unlike it's competitors
I absolutely love what Toyota/Lexus stand for, but this guy is correct in pointing out the cheap pieces that just dont make any sense. Come on Lexus, why would you cheap out on the cheapest and easiest and most noticeable to the consumer?
It's a reliable sexy fast car. As for the Germans... They got that too but including the maintenance bills. Pros and cons with this car. Obviously the pros seriously outdue the cons hands down. Underestimated vehicle . Really needs more recognition.... 🧐
lexus are for owning.. bmw's and mercedes are for leasing! toot it and boot it..
NEEDS A DUAL CLUTCH OR A REALLY GOOD TRANSMISSION! An updated dashboard and center console. Also better sounding exhaust. And it would be the perfect car.
Doesn’t it feel wired to drive the left wheels?
The RC is a grand touring car. The C63, and M3 are sports cars, and if they are marketed as touring cars then they are touring cars the same way the current Nissan Pathfinder is an SUV, and the Honda Ridgeline is a pickup truck. No one is fooled by the passenger tires, and longitudinal front-wheel biased drivetrain. Maybe I am speaking for myself, but just sharing thoughts.
Sorry but the M4 puts out 431hp, the C63 puts out 476hp and the RC-F puts out 477hp. So before saying anything maybe do some research. But the rest of the video was pretty nice
Sad to retire this one. Not many sports coupe out their that can comfortable fit a basketball player. Lexus should do same as Nissan 350z. Have an entry level model that will attract masses in order to keep the only soulful car in its arsenal alive. You don't need the trick differential, the base model does a good job using the rear end to steer (probably cause better balance with light V6 up front). LS looks awesome, but not a real car for the streets.
Everyone says Mercedes is not reliable, Bmw is not but the new Mercedes vehicles are actually reliable, you have to own one to know. Don’t go off what everyone else says, and a c63 will smoke this rcf bad, the race isn’t even close.
He who knows the truth speaks the truth.
The truth is there is no such thing as truth;
Everything I hear is only an opinion, not a fact.
Everything I see is only a perspective, not the truth.
Thank you for your captivating opinions on the Le Xus R C Ry An Dou Thit!
I have an offering for you, these cars are so de-tuned and held back from the factory, changing out headers alone net you somewhere in the 35-45rwhp addition range add exhaust and intake and tune into the mix and you leave m4’s, vette,s, cts-v standing still. I offer for you to test my car, beat the piss out of it and i guarantee it will completely change your mind of the RCF. Are you willing to take this offer?
100 % correct. I know first hand.
You are on point. Recently upgraded the exhaust system from Borla, headers from Sikky, and intake from Sikky. Just those bolt ons alone put me up at +70 whp. Upon removing the exhaust system and headers, I was just shaking my head at how ridiculous Lexus deprived these V8s their power. There where bends that were not necessary and weird angles in both the exhaust and headers. Just waiting on a tune and I'm good for now.
All of you in this comment section are full of shit!💯💩 I've seen an RCF FULL BOLT ONS to tune DEAD EVEN with a M4!💯 The RCF HAS NO POTENTIAL WHAT SO EVER! A 650hp rcf got WALKED by a C7 ZO6!😂 video on youtube.
@@great159 Good to know. Still loving my RCF! Happy holidays.
Yup. Ppe headers and even a simple Borla will net you more hp. Add the RR Racing Supercharger for a plus200hp
2019? Shit I could have sworn I was watching a 2015 Rcf review. Shit hasn’t changed.
Ppl need to stop comparing the rcf to bmw and mercedes. It’s kind of it’s own thing. Even though the Gt3 version competes with super cars
Damn, you want everything from something more expensive to be in this car, that's the whole point of the LC that you ain't gonna get in the cheaper RCF. Hence thats why the LC is more expensive lol duh. Foot handbrake? yippy, Rolls Royce still using the gear shifter at the steering column on the new Phantom, what's your point?
The most beatifull and amazing Sedan in all World of course Lexus
I think after the detroit auto show, where lexus will introduce the RC F GT, theyll actually upgrade the RC F
Lexus RCF over any other car in the segment.
Don't make me laugh with these silly comparisons with Audi, bmw and Merc.
The Lexus wipes the floor
Latvietis96 and nobody wants a car that’s going to break down 24/7 and be in the shop for half it’s life with expensive maintenance bills up the ass every time
Latvietis96 I will never get a BMW or Mercedes until they make reliable cars, I was very interested in a BMW but however, you can’t have fun with those cars for long before the check engine light comes on over and over :(
Latvietis96 you’re an ignorant dumb ass. Go back to those German blogs that falsely praise German reliability that obviously doesn’t exist. There’s proof everywhere that German cars aren’t reliable. But go ahead, keep sitting in that cave lying to yourself.
@Latvietis96 you're delusional thinking a c63 and m4 isn't going to break after hard driving.
U haven't got a clue. Stupid child
The RCF has NO low end torque AND the interior is from the Lexus IS! (Cheapest lexus)!💯💩 THAT'S A NO NO and the RCF is made from 3 LEXUS cars !😂 NOT EVEN ITS OWN PLATFORM!👎 RCF=FAIL!
Just wait a year buy used is better options for RCF. This thing loses value like nothing. $80k new in 2015-16 are now only $40k.
I know, right. No low end torque AND the interior is from the Lexus IS (cheapest lexus) You don't put a $38,000 INTERIOR IN A $65,000 CAR!💯👎
Nothing cheap about my real leather interior 2015 rcf. You clearly have spent no time in this car.
The difference is this car will stay at 40k for 15 reliable years but your m3/m4 can be had for free.
It does have the sliding gauge like the lfa.. You have to press the button
If you buy a Lexus, you will be stuck with Lexus. Very good cars. Bought for wife IS250 and now IS350 new shape. Wonderful and beautiful on the road. Wish to buy isf or another one with V8.
Listen, everyone is going to have their own preference when it comes to sports car. This one, is very good. It's a Lexus, built very well and will last a long time with basic maintenance. It'll hold its value and it one of the best parts, it has a NA V8, just listen to the beautiful sounds it belts out. This car will be HIGHLY sought after in 10 years. Great deal on the used market. Having said that, I like the GS F better. Better standard options and room for my goofy kids.
I'll take the Lexus over a BMW or MB any day
I raced one from a dig in my GLC43 AMG suv and I had him by 3 cars to 85mph! He was stunned and did a fly by 🤣🤣🤣🤣.
lol k cool story bro
Lucas Cruz Lexus-Gay
Little pit more power...,about 480hp or more Torque, quickly transmission gear chancing (1-8 Gear) 👌🏼. 🤔 Please next.
In my opinion the RCF looks cool but lacks in the interior and raw performance ability. I have driven all three on track. The C63s and M3/M4 competition are still on another level when it comes to all around driving experience. Hands down Mercedes has the best interiors in the game right now. Then BMW/Audi and Lexus has been stuck in the early 2000’s. Nothing has changed and everything feels Toyota on the inside. The RCF is the type of car for your average person who will probably never track their car but wants a comfortable and reliable sports coupe without minding the outdated interior. If I were to sell my TTrs tomorrow I would definitely get the new M3cs as a daily over any of the other options.
for years Lexus strayed away from turbo charging their engines because it hurts reliability alot and lexus v8 engines are probably the best built most balanced v8 engines on the planet and they deliver the power like no other for example the first ever lexus which was the LS400 you could balance a coin on the engine block and rev the hell out of it and the coin would stay standing this was in 1999!!!! to have such impressive reliability and performance from a car brand that is 63 years YOUNGER than mercedes benz of whom make some of the most unreliable cars these days and not even mention bmw and vw awfully overcomplicated cars of poor design customers being sold lies fuel consumption, horsepower for example or emissions :D. The other (bmw, mercedes) cars featured in this video wouldnt last more than 3 years without a failure that would bankrupt you as an owner because you apparently waiver your rights to a compensation when you buy a shit car
This RCF is a lot better car than BMW and Mercedes. Reliable is my priority.
Haven’t seen many M4 ordered without the Comp package or C63 without the S added. Both will walk this car. Hopefully Lexus design come to their senses at some point and come up with something other then that front grill. Haven’t sat in one so I can’t comment on the plastic interior reviews.
Lexus automatically wins for having a v8.
Most people if not all should agree that NA v8 > TT v6. I mean I saw all the raptor fans complaining when when they used the ecoboost even though it was faster.
Talks negatively about a naturally aspirated reliable v8 engine. Loses all credibility.
You can drive this Lexus for 10years with minimal problems, unlike the benz and beamer.
*out of all of those empty parking stalls you chose none*
Would be nice to have a manual in this car....but the biggest downfall on this thing is the weight.
Hp and torque numbers are on the low side compared to other coupe vehicles in the price category. You can even buy used (Carmax as an example) coupes that offer way more hp and torque numbers for half the price...just saying. It's more show than go.
How come allot of Lexus owners have to constantly comment that their cars will last longer or whatever perk they see with their cars compared to the competition. Has x amount of miles no issues etc. Money pit this money pit that. If you know your Lexus is better then there is no need to tell everyone who owns a BMW or Mercedes , Audi etc. This is coming from someone who works at Lexus and yes I enjoy where I work great brand.
They are mostly defending the cars from really unfair garbage talk that is why... They simply use a strong argument of good ownership value. Lexus owners are more defensive than aggresive I think. Got style and smile.
It’s funny how these guys don’t understand Lexus
Love my RCF, and did not pay sticker. Would still have bought it over an M4, ever if the M4 was a little cheaper (M4 is more $). These reviewers love to whine about nickpicks, and they never mention resale while they bitch about the price-that's stupid. Then there's the bozos complaining about the weight, over and over again. I guess these clowns haven't seen the YT track test where Randy Probst does hot laps in the M4 and RCF, with less than a one second lap time difference. Tire and brake pad selection can make a far greater lap time difference than that, but don't ask a YT reviewer: most of them, including this guy, don't seem to have ever been on a track, or taken the huge resale hit on a BMW. This isn't a track car, but I've tracked several of my sports cars (as well as the ISF I owned prior to the RCF), many times, and this car does not feel heavy. My ISF did great on track, without even a brake fluid change-just laughed at the high speed flogging, with no brake issues, even with the stock pads. No reason to think my RCF would offer any disappointments on track, but that's not what I bought it for. No one with any track smarts regularly tracks any car they can't afford to walk away from, as all auto insurers have track exclusions in their policies, and track insurance gets expensive fast. Resale aside, Lexus builds a better overall car than BMW or Mercedes.The 2020 RCF track version will debut next month, announced days before this video...another tidbit omitted by the clueless "reviewer" as he blabs about the AMG S and the RCF "heading for retirement" :)
Tacoma has a hand brake dude!
Sherm T 😂😂😂
Disappointed Lexus still hasn't updated the interior. Other than that, I like the RCF more than the M4 and C63.
