2016 Lexus RC F - Redline: Review
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 дек 2016
- A free-revving V8, polarizing style, and lively handling make the 3rd Lexus F model one of the most interesting cars to ever come from the Toyota/Lexus portfolio. Those of you who were thinking about an M3 or C63 may just find plenty to like with this crazy Lexus RC F.

Great time to be alive. Great American, German, Italian, Japanese, and Korean cars! There's something for everyone!
I don't want a lot for Christmas. But all I want for Christmas is
a Lexus RC F
Give a Man a Lexus
He'll never Walk for life
Give a man a BMW..
He'll Walk for a lifetime.
Reliability King ❤️
Lexus
Lexus obviously keeps the traditional automatic and the proven engine for the sake of reliability. The Germans cars are better off the lot, but they aren't going to be anywhere remotely close in terms of repair costs after 200k miles, where it's likely the Lexus won't need a single repair.
Lexus should worry less about reliability on their F models, they should build F cars like they built LFA, forget about profit and offer some force inductions, like supercharger or small turbos for low end power without ruining the sound too much.
Anton Zuykov exactly. The RX and Es are what's keeping them profitable because they're gorgeous but most importantly reliable
Trust me it will need repairs like any other sporty car thats pushed to the limit. Ive seen an e46 with 360k km and all they do is change oil nothing goes wrong but i bet u that guy doesnt abuse it like the avg m3 driver. Same will be the case with this. You will have carbon build up you will have to pay alot for tires and brakes and an oil change is an oil change. The omly diff is you wont run risk of turbos going which is def a big plus espeically if you cant do your own work on your cars. Im not knockin this car at all its pre cool and will hopefully and probabably last pretty long but dont expect it to be a camry hybrid lol.

Fucking stupid comment.
@@stefanfreestylez 135,000 miles on my ISF. Tires brakes and oil are consumables. No carbon buildup if you use gas with decent detergents. I track my car and autocross every year. Nothing but maintenance. Look at plenty of youtube videos online. Tavarish just did a road race with a 200,000 mile ISF. These cars are bullet proof. E46's are gone. BMW cheaped out and the E90 M3 needs rod bearing work well under 100k. Sadly that a mix of not warming up the car and heavy oil but still was something BMW chose to put into production. Sorry, ISF's RCF's GSF's can take a beating without issues. The highest mileage ISF has 350,000 miles with nothing but fluid changes.
Lexus is the best. You can talk about the interior, styling, blah, blah, that's preference, the performance on average isn't quite that of the German brands, but the reliability is the best in the industry and to me that matters, even if these aren't necessarily the kind of cars you buy once and then drive into the ground. In the future I will only buy Lexus/Toyota as long as their continue to lead the industry in reliability.
Ehhhh for the prices charged I wouldn’t call it just a preference. The competition had improved their interiors for this year and on. And now it is 2021 and Lexus still sticks to the same interior, but charges the same premium price minus features and premium materials.
So I take, everything I said back. I actually spent 7 days with a 2015 RCF and got to live with it. I am in love holy shit.
Lexus is still one of the best luxury brands in my opinion. Not only do they have good luxury features, but they're reliable compared to most other luxury car brands. Yeah the interiors may sometimes be overused at times, but reliability is one of the good selling points for any car I buy. I mean you do have Acura which also is reliable, but Lexus even more so. I hope Toyota keeps investing lots of money into the Lexus brand and keeps making good cars in the long run.
I didn't like the RCF when it first came out, but it has grown on me and aged well.
Like the new lights up front for 2019 too.
ANYTIME this guy reviews a Lexus I get nervous about watching the video.
1) " Interior reminds me of a Toyota "
- Please enlighten us ! WHAT Toyota interior looks like this ? ( New Toyota interiors are pretty nice ) I would wish a Toyota interior looked like this
2) " A black sheep of the Family " " This is a Lexus are you kidding me "
- So what are the ISF, GSF and LFA ? What is wrong with this guy? Stop calling this the black sheep when theres ISF and GSF running around on the street.
3) " A middle finger to all the Lexus hybrid drivers or ES and RX "
- Are you serious? The ES, RX and Hybrid cars are excellent cars. Why would this Lexus be a middle finger to other Lexus cars? Its a Middle finger to other brands that think Lexus only makes Luxury soft cars.
4) " The LFA no one can afford "
- So your gonna discredit the LFA because its expensive? Tons of rich people brought the LFA. Do you discredit Lambos, Ferrari's and porsche ? MOST people cant afford those either but because its a Lexus your writing it off instead of talking about how great the LFA was? The LFA beat all lambos and Ferraris at the time.
5) " All the Lexus in the past were fucking boring "
- When did making super nice Luxury cars become a negative thing ? This guy is wrong. The SC300 with the Manual was fun car to drive. The IS300 5 speed manual which has a cult following is a great car to drive. The V8 GS300 1999 won Motor Trend sport sedan of the year and it was also the fastest automatic sedan on the road back them. The 2006 IS350 was the most powerful car in is class when it came out. It was faster then the V8 Audi sedan. It was also names the best Japanese Sport sedan. It clocked a 0-60 of 4.9 back in 2006 and was being called a rocket sport sedan.
6) " Toyota/Lexus tons of boring cars "
- EVERY manufacture outside of exotic makes normal everyday cars. Even BMW makes certain boring models. When you drive outside how many normal boring cars do you see ? Those are what sale those cars are what makes companies their money.. the normal boring cars. Cars like this dont bring company a boat load of money. I can appreciate a Corolla, altima and boring Civic and I can appreciate the RCF and M4 just as much.
Anyway. Love the RCF. Has the Looks sound and performance. Its a winner for sure. Also other reviews said the RCF has great handing... this is the first time i have seen someone call it numb.
Toyota4Life 2JZ IS KING! GS300 Aristo! Glad you mentioned the sc300. Fuck this guy. Yes lexus has always made nice quiet comfortable smooth riding luxury cars. If you want fun handling kidney brusing rough ride like lambos then just buy coilovers and put on full stiff setting on any toyota lexus. Regardless the ride on these cars are far from buicks and cadillacs..
sc400. ..best top end ever...things hit like 150mph back im like 95 lol
I like you we should be friends
Toyota4Life best comment on the internet
You’re a fucking Lexus die hard fan boy god damn I see you everywhere defending Lexus with your life.
Honestly, I think that this thing looks way more beastly than the C63
Agreed. The Mercedes’ is a little too bubbly for me
1000%
Just started working for Lexus. Your reviews have provided me with some extra material to refer to. Thanks!
Lexus is killing it, man so sexy sound amazing, and it looks properly aggressive well done Lexus in making a legitimate M4 competitor.
Only uglier.
justin bouche Yes! I love Lexus! I am quite a fan boy.
+Kool Acclaimed™
LOL... yeah !! A face that only a mother could love....
big bitch is that what people tell you?
bigden 2755 that's subjective to lmao
I love that V8. Reliable and it sounds so good!!😍😍😍
love your shows
That 5.0L N/A V8 sounds is like a food to your ears. i love it
I say it looks fine, I see nothing wrong with the body style of this car but the massive oversteer this have and how heavy this beast is
I just bought one (2015) and honestly, you don't feel the weight. I also own a 2014 Infiniti Q50S and it feels way heavier than the RCF. I think everybody that says it's heavy don't own one seriously. You can't give your own opinion on what you read on the internet, you have to feel it. And for 46k$CAD or 34k$USD found a car better than this...
@@fpbibi yoooo, I was just looking into buying a 2015 rc f for $50k CAD with between 32k and 50k km in mileage. What's your breif review of it's driving dynamics? I have an 2014 es350 and that's too boring to drive, now I added a 2018 Cayenne to the garage and it has blown me away with its handling (SUV, base model engine, and handles better than any car I've driven lool). So I was thinking of a cayman but the flat 4 engine is just a no for me. This rc f on the other hand has a v8. I'm nearly fully convinced of this car, just need to test drive it properly to determine its handling capabilities. Other option was a 2017/2018 Nissan 370z. But I don't like the interior compared to Lexus and porsche lol
Lexus is my number one pick! I'll have a RCF January of 2019. This car will out last ALL its competitors! This is a amazing V8 exciting car!
Lc500
Did you get it?
How much is the rcf is it around 100k??
Well, did you get it?
awesome review \m/
I love the way you review cars! From the cadence at which you speak to how you give your honest opinion on cars rather than just spewing out details robotically. Keep up the good work!
Such a beautiful car!
Awesome Review
Your attention to detail is second to none
AMAZING LOOKING CAR
I own a 15 rcf white with red interior, i love it. The issue that they have is the fuel pumps which are covered with warranty. Besides that its very reliable and fun to drive.
Out of warranty it would be very expensive to fix right? What's wrong with them?
@@method341 They're not covered under warranty per se; at least, not more or less than any other part. They were recalled, so they'll replace them even if you're out of warranty since it's a fire hazard.
I’d take this over the Cadillac ATS-V and the BMW M4
Regarding the camera that's placed by the passenger side A pillar; is it mounted on a gimbal?
3:02 "looks like it's going to eat you"
😂😂😂😂😂 I'm dead
Thas a goood thing lol
I'm glad Lexus still makes an NA V8, this and long-term reliability are the only things it has going for it
V8's won't be around much longer I imagine for Lexus or at least the N/A V8. Will soon turbo charge like the rest. I like the V8, but I feel like that's the way the world is moving and they're no exception
Nice Review Bro
Can't wait to see what the next generation is going to be like!!
stunning!
I wonder what do people think about RC-F vs older IS-F design (interior & exterior) and performance?
If the RC F had a manual option, it would have been one of my favorites.
i wish i could have this beautiful car. I had to settle for the IS250. Keep talking bad about it so it can depreciate for me. I dream of owning an RCF. It's the most beautiful interior in my opinion
I'm still looking for the song shazam wont pick it up properly
that car is going to literally eat me, i mean c'mon its not over styled at all. I WANT THAT CAR SO BAD
I think this car is gorgeous and when I own mine it will be this same beautiful shade of blue with the red interior. It will be my “Spider-Man Coupe”. 🙏🏽👌🏾
I absolutely love this channel.
All I want for Christmas is a reply from Sofyan himself.
Happy Holidays and thanks for the support! :)
-Sofyan
The RC F is my favorite "F" model so far, but i also want an LFA, because, who wouldn't it's a freakin street formula one car!
I personally think this car looks great, I've seen a couple of them on the road since they've gone sell and they look really good, shit, even the normal 350 F-Sport looks great, the problem is Americans are too goddamn conservative, and any car that dears to play outside the grounds of the norm gets ridiculed.
do you have anymore retro reviews lined up. I love the Miata one, would love to see a celicia GTS(saw the gt version review) and Integra
Hey sofyan, I really enjoy your review videos, when do you think you would get your hands on a Dodge Durango?
Wondering why you've never reviewed the RC 350 F Sport? It seems to address a lot of the issues that you had with the ES 350 that you otherwise liked.
sofyan,do you plan to review the infiniti qx80?
The Camaro SS & Lexus RC-F ARE MY DREAM CARS
There is remote start through the keyfob. It's connected through the Enform Remote subscription. You would press the lock button 3x, holding the last press until the car starts.
definitely my next car I love lexus especially the rcf who dont want a v8 lol
RCF stands for Really Cool & Fast
Lexus>Infiniti>Acura
shivam220 more like Lexus>Acura>infinity
Infiniti and acura are just pure trash lol.
FWD < * Just nothing about that that's attractive.
infiniti is not trash.. Ive driven them a couple of times and the ride quality and the power for the amount of money is fantastic.
None of them are trash. The build quality of all are better than 95% of American cars and 90%+ of European cars. That said, the quality of American cars (even inexpensive ones), and European cars, has gone way up in the past 15+ years. People like to talk shit about the quality of American cars, but their quality was good and many times excellent except for one period in the late 1970s to the early or mid 1980s. Basically it's always been true that you get what you pay for.
18:13 - The 90 seconds following this point is exactly why you buy this car. It provokes a raw and visceral response from you, and you can't put that on a spec sheet. You really have to drive this car yourself to appreciate it.
This is like the affordable budget LFA, lol. I've also heard this car shares a couple unimportant parts with the Toyota 86 so that's cool.
I test drove a Lexus RC 350 awhile back and it was fine, I thought it was a pretty nice vehicle. I would still probably go for a German car but I think anyone buying this would be pretty satisfied with it. The exaggerated looks actually work for this car. The upcoming LC 500 is gorgeous though and that should put Lexus back in the game for sure.
How come in other videos it looks different when you put the RCF In sport + mode ?like the cluster looks different
Most other reviewers used Sport S+ mode (yellow/red gauge), Sofyan stuck with the Sport S mode (white/red gauge). The Sport S+ mode holds revs higher and shifts quicker.
This dude always slams Toyota... its getting annyoing just stop
Jawadul Karim pretty much he beats on any Toyota.
Every time he drives a fast Lexus (LC500/RCF) he has to reference how "boring" Lexus is. Can't just give a review. Watch every Lexus he reviews, wash/rinse/repeat......."this is a Lexus?" 🙄
He bought a toyota today
to me the design of lexus is superb. I like almost every model of lexus except the es which in my opinion looks too tame. The thing I like about lexus the most is ironically the grill area. Lexus could have easily copy and pasted a grill design from another car company, but they had the balls to create a different design unlike any other. Of course with such a radical design most will shy away from it but isn't that the reason for buying a luxury car? to have a automobile that is different from the rest?
Yovany Mora and now u got es redesign
Well said !!
5.0! That engine is the reason I would get this car! Did you hear that shit???
13:59 the seats actually detect if they hit anything and will stop and move forward about a half an inch or so.
That V8... Yeah buddy
11:38 : yes, "consumers want apple carplay and Android auto"...
Whatever, Lexus and Toyota figured out that those programms are huge safety risks in terms of private safety, and car system safety. The consumer want them, but they don't understand that a good hacker can track their every move and record their words with those two products. If they knew that, they would probably re-think this love.
Toyota just released a pen testing kit that they will be using to bolster security on their cars. Folks just don't understand how exposed their data is. Everyone just bitches their phone can't connect to their car. Dumb dumb people waiting to be exploited sadly.

Love my RCF. It turns heads and hauls ass in the corners.
Bought a 2015 rc f in Dec I adore her no regrets I’m keeping it 4ever so gorgeous and fun
what this car share with the brz body style
“There are some things that are old, things that remind me of a toyota”. Shit I wish old Toyota’s had this interior!
If you haven't driven an LS model Lexus, you haven't driven a Lexus. The LS line is long, mean and luxury. Not sporty looking, but very fast and very sleek.
What's up with this guy calling Lexus boring? Other brands have non performance vehicles. Why call out Lexus?
Lexus has just had a much longer known reputation for building boring cars, even the chief Toyota boss has said he wants to completely altar that perception with a new lineup of vehicles that embrace aggressive design with sporty performance. The new Lexus LC500 is supposed to be the start of a new era of Lexus vehicles and we are looking forward to seeing what the company does!
Redline Reviews Why even review Lexus when all you do is Bash them.You hate the company but at the same time try not to be bias in your reviews...Ppl are starting to see right through you...Someone would put a Honda Fit next to this car & you'd compliment the Honda on its speed & design & quality over this RC-F.
Because Lexus wasn't doing much to create performance vehicles, they were focused on sedans and SUVs.
***** Pal....Young Girl thinks of his little young self as a tough girl huh? Only tough over the internet though Pal. I doubt your hairy little hands can talk tough if you see me face to face Young Gal.
Remember the Acura NSX 1st gen
why is this the first time I see it blue paint and carbon fiber. usually only the white one has it ?
I will take the RC F for long term ownership. This is a fun car with an NA V8 that you can actually drive places and have it last a long time. BMW, Audi, Merc, etc... are all going to cost a lot more money over long term ownership due to expensive maintenance. Also, get the red or whitish interior and it looks much newer and nicer. The black just looks boring.
This, Is. My. Dream. Car.
Can you please do a review of the isf and pontiac g8
Nothing to hate here. I love it too.
lol You are funny man!! The Blue is HOT!
I absolutely love my RC F
YOU HAVE ONE OMG YOUR SO LUCKY!!!!
By the way man is the rc f good in the snow?
That organism
If the car was lighter it would be alot faster than it is, but man this car is sexy as hell and has preety good performace, but i would not get the interior in that color. But keep up the good work redline, i love watching yall's videos.
is it 10 inch screen
Soyfan, wish you could test drive a 68 road runner. mine had headers, glass packs, side pipes, etc 4 speed hurst. went 117 mph in the quarter! REAL muscle car!
Can you tell us the next couple of cars you're getting to test? Also big fan of this channel!!
We try not too spoil the surprise! But also because at the last minute, a scheduled press car can change without much notice. All we'll say is we have press cars scheduled until February but be sure to check on our social networks for the latest cars we have for testing :)
You do great informative videos but I rarely make it to the end there just so boring
I WANT THIS CAR!! for the engine of course
i would suggest using a polarizer for your camera for filming cars in the day it would get rid of alot of the reflections that distract the watcher from the subject
Car looks great and will still look modern 20 years from now, great review. .."Yeshua (Jesus Christ) is the way"
Amen 🙏🏼
When I retire in five years end of 2026 this might be my go too or a 2021/22 Toyota supra 3.0 premium ! Gonna be fun comparing them ! The fact the the Toyota is basically a BMW is a major factor with dependability. So far everything I’ve seen on RUclips saying that’s not a problem
this or ford mustang gt350?
My friend has one of these, I rode in it, it's so fasssst
What about the GS F
2023 that interrior has not been upgraded what a shame its the one thing stopping me from getting this car
I have a 2017 GSF and I love the interior. I don’t need all the fancy 2023 features because the car is fun as hell to drive and won’t give me any trouble!
Sofyan please tell lexus to update the nav display to a larger screen
Would anyone know why there is a massive amount of turbo lag in the Infinity Q50 2.0t?
nicktune1219 Not sure. But we definitely won't know why you have windex as your profile picture..
Jayden W. Do you have a problem with Windex? It is my beverage of choice.
nicktune1219 Does it taste better than Clorox Bleach?
Jayden W. Ye, tastes like blue Gatorade.
is there a 2017 Acura NSX review in the works?
Acura is very selective on NSX loans, while we do have a great relationship with their PR manager, he informed us there are extra steps towards getting approved to have an NSX for a few days. It will take some time but we are working on it.
Since when did a modern NA V8 become a dinosaur of an engine? Literally the best kind of engine a car can have...
How do we request reviews? E-mail? RUclips comment? Website?
I own a q50s but this is my next car
Someone should make a compilation video of Sofyan being impressed by test driving sweet cars.
Sounds like a fun video, maybe we will ;)
18:23 when Sofyan lets off the throttle and the engine sounds mean in a way.
This car reminds me of the RC soda.
Such an unusuall car
I'm hoping you can review a Q70S
I don't care about competition, for $83k canadian and performance pack included I would buy this. Just because it's a lexus and you can have fun with it without breaking it and sending it to the shop.
So he acts like it's first time he's heard that exhaust note but then says he's taken it on the track to drive. I'm beginning to question the authenticity of these reactions.
RC-F is not a bad car (very good car imo) but the fact you can buy 2 new Camaro SS's for the price of one RC-F (using prices on cars.com) speaks to how amazing the Camaro SS is in terms of value. The Camaro SS is also faster so that's another bonus lol.
Getting a lil motion sickness with you recording with the camera in hand, would be cool if you can mount the camera or keep it stationary or pan slowly.
