  • The 2016 Lexus RC350 review with 120k miles. This Lexus RC350 is the F sport trim and is similar to the Lexus IS350 F sport however, the Lexus RC350 is not just a Lexus IS350 with 2 doors. In this 2016 Lexus RC350 review with 120k miles, we will see what makes the RC different and why the RC350 is a great choice in the used car market.

      Ex-aaactly!! It's a sport coupe!! If you want full length back seats buy a mini van!! If you want a muscle car buy a Camaro or Mustang...you get a V8 with mediocre interior quality with one of those. So take your pick people. This car is very well balanced over all in my opinion. Great video!!

      They put seats back there to keep insurance costs down, not to actually use them. In most states, it costs more to insure a 2 seater because they are used for personal use and not mass transportation.

    • @Nestle245

      In some coupes adults can actually fit in the back comfortably. It's always nice to have the option to throw people in the back only if needed. With this RC the backseats are completely non existent even for kid's.

    I am a first time Lexus owner. I wasn't really looking for a new car but I was curious to see what the Nissan Maxima was like so I went to the dealer to check it out. Across the street was a Lexus dealer so I figured why not take a look. Sitting in the showroom was this amazing looking 350 F Sport (never heard of it before or even saw one) so I sat in it and that was it. Aside from the gorgeous body design, the interior design was even better. Just sitting in the seat, the comfort level alone was incredible.Looking around the cabin/cockpit was pure glee. I was impressed as hell with the overall design, looks, and quality. It felt right. Perfect. Like I said, I wasnt looking for a car, so I went home. I didn't take it for a test drive or talk numbers. I thought about that car for two straight days and watched quite a few youtube video reviews. I couldnt sleep. I called the next day, 3 days later, and it was still available. I went home with it that very day. I didn't even test drive it, I just had to have it. I figured it's a Lexus, how bad can it be plus I saw plenty of positive reviews. Well, as impressed as I was with the exterior/interior was nothing compared to the performance and comfort level on that ride home. I was in a machine! in 3 months will mark 2 years of driving this car. I have one complaint. The storage bins on the doors are too narrow for me to get my hand it, and there isn't much on board storage to place things. It is such a minor thing. I love driving this car. I sit in traffic mostly, and I have no need to go 0 to 60 in 4 seconds. It has plenty of get up and go for me. I drive to and from work every day, about 20 miles round trip. I have just over 8k miles, so it is a very low mileage vehicle. The outside is black metal-flake, they call it caviar, and the interior is a light camel color. The contrast is beautiful. Sometimes I cant believe I drive this car. It's an AWD too and handles snow as good as any SUV out there. I highly recommend this car. I've had people in the backseat. It works if you have to, but I didn't get this car for multiple people, but in a pinch the backseat will work for average body types.

I am still amazed after almost 10 years of driving my 2010 Lexus RX 350 at how well it drives and has aged so well! I mean it still drives like new. my family comments on it, friends that have ridden in it comment that they cannot believe this car is 10 years old! And everything still works on this car! OK, maybe my power tailgate doesn’t work occasionally when it gets chilly outside! Ha-ha! But other than that, it is solid and bulletproof!

      Yes you are correct, when most people speak about cars on the internet 9 times out of 10 they have not owned any of the cars they speak on. A lot of the opinions and drama stem from those who simply judge cars by spec sheets but fail to realize there is so much more to a car than a piece of paper. Lexus ownership is one of the most rewarding and that is why people of the real world gravitate towards the brand. I love German cars, I own a 440i BMW but these are lease cars only

      @@zairnaim93 I wish it was as simple and cheap as that, but that's not the issue. I suspect it's the motor for the power rear door. Whenever it gets cold down here in Florida, the power mechanism doesn't want to work for a few days. It will make the beeping sound but it won't open the door by power and I have to manually open it. Same thing once the door is up, it won't go down by power. It's been very intermittent for the past few years:)

    • @zairnaim93
      @zairnaim93 4 года назад +1

      The lift supports help the motors to bring the rear door up. They are filled with pressurized gas so they become weaker in the cold (I live in Canada and they become very weak in the cold as they age). I have to replace them on my mother's 2011 rx which is why is suspected u may have the same issue.
      In your case though if it's not even coming down by power replacing them may not help.

Do them all at the same time. Costs you one time, is a two days work, and DONE. Ready for the next twenty years.

    My wife and I drove a IS350 F sport and then followed with the RC350 F sport. Even though the chassis I believe is the same? (not positive on that) The RC350 felt sportier. Better handling. We have an original IS300 that we are looking to replace and we ended up a little disappointed in the IS350.
    Curious if you have tried the RC F. Strangely enough the RC F rear body work looks less aggressive somehow than the RC350 missing some vents. But I think the acceleration would be more fun.

It feels as if you are driving with blown shocks. Google it and you will find plenty of information about it. Direct injection noise from the motor will get worse and worse as miles rack up. It makes this weird noise and motor vibration from 1200-1600 rpm’s that will make you go crazy after a while. Im going to trade it in soon. I had enough. Hope this helps you.
