    a little trick for faster acceleration from a stand still: place car is sport plus, use your paddle shift starting at first then rev to max before clicking up to second and so on... probably zero to sixty in under 7 seconds.... but who cares right? this car if for you and your lovely... enjoy

    i bought this car, it was honestly just for the looks , I'm not that into performance and that is probably who buys these cars lol. i mean think the 4 banger is fast enough for street driving.

      Imo, off the line performance is where 4 cylinder is felt less robust. Otherwise its golden

      Crazy yesterday I was going to buy the car got the papers also almost done until I realized it was a turbo and didn’t like it all but I wished the car didn’t come with turbo and was a like quick I think my Honda Accord felt faster

      @@yungactivist lexus is very expensive, if you want a v8 you will have to pay close to 40k for a used one and 50k a lightly used one and 70k+ for a new one. it is what it is. you could get a v6 and supercharge it.

      @@yungactivist just remember a car will not make you ultimately happy. Its a never ending ego trap, many men get caught in. its really just a pissing contest. i would suggest getting into something cheaper and buying outright and keeping for 10 years. The lexus ct200h would be a good option for that. then the money you save can be spent on stocks, and business adventures.

    toyota should put that engine in a next generation fr-s or celica! I would buy one. I also think the engine is based off the 2.0 turbo that lexus runs in the super gt gt500 race series!!

      kagolko​ BUT they do have a BAD/POOR RELIABILITY in the long run base on personal experience - got brand new MB and BMW back then but sold those because of reliability issues!...
      What about VW's fuel economy issues, huh???...😑

    • @strumpeteer

      People don't buy the 200t for performance. -that's what the RCF is for. Almost all turbo models of any brand get poor MPG when you're in boost most of the time. As commuter, I average 29 MPG in Los Angeles rush hour traffic with the 200t. I strictly picked this car for comfort, looks, reliability and fuel economy.

    • @boboutelama5748
      @boboutelama5748 6 лет назад +1

      Kalgolo, I think you are speaking too fast there. Go to the spritmonitor website and look what the Audi A5, The Mercedes C-class and BMW 4er series with same output and kind of engine, will do in MPG. Their numbers are the same, even when the 200T is allegedly more heavy than all of them.

  • @deemm1265
    @deemm1265 8 лет назад +1

    Good honest review. The RC is based on 3 Lexus line-ups.The front is GS, the middle borrowed from IS convertible due to it's rigid structure and the rear from IS.The car is heavy as the middle is reinforced for rigidity that makes is safe as well. It is a Luxury Touring cope. Lexus owners do like the luxury ride and hence Lexus keeps that in mind to appeal to that particular demand.

    Every tester is all about 0-60! Why is that? Lots of people like comfort, quiet and handles good! Why do you think the camry sells so many cars? One of the most important things to me in a car is the seats, I want comfortable and have a car that I can drive 200 plus miles in a day and not be crippled up when I get there. So get off the speed and tell us about how good the car drives on the highway and in the city......not really interested in stop light to stop light racing!

    NO WAY! ..All show & NO go!
    Give me that V6 or V8! Toyota makes the best Japanese cars..But what were they thinking putting a 4-cylinder in that beautiful car!
