- Опубликовано: 30 сен 2024
- The 2020 Lexus RC 350 AWD F Sport is a sleek looking luxury sports car. The RC350 is the more powerful version of the RC and packs 311 horsepower out of the 3.5 liter naturally aspirated V6. This is the AWD model which means that it's equipped with a six speed automatic transmission. At almost $51,000 will this be worth your money?

My favorite part of watching this is watching you not understand Lexus. They are first and foremost luxury and reliability. However, If you're looking for fast and unreliable, look no further than BMW. We like to drive out cars, not work on them.
If you are going to review a car you need to review it for what it is instead of reviewing it for what it is not. It's like if I reviewed a Hellcat and complained about its poor gas mileage.
Damn dude. This has got to be the worst car review video I have ever seen… All I heard was complaining. Sounds like a Android user pointing everything out that is wrong with an iPhone. Never owned one before but on paper numbers are this and that so it is shit. Everything that he pointed out is what makes a Lexus a Lexus and it is much more refined than this video. I haven’t seen any of your other videos but if this is what you do on most cars that is the reason you have only 77k subscribers.
I like it a lot. I take this over any Frankenstein German Supra any day. It will last a life time and it is made in Japan with Japanese DNA. If you buy Toyota you want Japanese. Not German. Mustang or this Lexus are my choices. I take a Civic type R but it is not a coupe so... still love love Lexus anything.
I was curious about the new Maxima so I went to Nissan to have a look, with no interest whatsoever in purchasing a car. Across the street was a Lexus dealer so I figured why not take a look. I saw this black beauty of a car (color is called Caviar) that caught my eye so I walked over for a closer look and I was impressed. I never noticed the rc 350 before, it was a new look for me. I never owned a Lexus before, but I knew they put out quality cars and were pricey, to me. I thought this black beauty was going to up there in price, far more than the 58k sticker. I opted the door and sat in the drivers seat, which felt incredibly soft. It reminded me of my prized fathers mitt from my youth. It just felt right, but as impressed as I was with the outside, the interior was even better. I could see myself in this car. I’m not a racing or car enthusiast, I couldn’t tell you much about RPMs and torque, all I care about is comfort, convenience and reliability with a little get up and go. I didn’t take it for a test drive, why bother, I wasn’t looking for a car, I didn’t need one. I just marveled at the beauty this car was. The interior is like a light camel color, which contrasted nicely with the black metallic flake exterior. It was gorgeous. I left the dealership and couldn’t stop thinking about this car. This was Saturday, and by Monday, I had to have that car. I wound up leasing it. I didn’t even arrange a test drive, I just had to have that car. After I signed the papers, I got in that car and drove it home. I wasn’t expecting the comfort and as impressed by the interior and exterior, the ride itself impressed me even more. It is more a luxury touring car, which completely took me by surprise. My lease was for 38 months. I didn’t want to turn this car in, I didn’t know what I was going to do, but the Kelly book value was 10k more than my buyout option, and that sealed the deal. I bought it outright, and I’m absolutely thrilled. I live in Brooklyn, NY where there a traffic light on every corner, and bumper to bumper traffic on throughways and parkways. I don’t need to go 0 to 60 in 3.5 seconds. I need to go from point A to point B in comfort, and man this car is it. If you’re looking to blow the doors off of other cars, look elsewhere. If your looking for a combination of sporty and luxury, I’d consider this car. In 3 years, no trouble at all. Just joy!
Dad??
Well said sir. Thats a wonderful car buying experience. Thanks for sharing
This review is better than the videos. Nice work boss!
The rc 350 is a car for when you want a luxury car but want it to look sporty. It’s not the fastest sure but it is built very well and gets you’re there in style compared to if you just wanted a 50,000$ compact.
Rather buy the IS350. If i'm going for the coupe, it'd be RCF
Only a hand few of people don’t like this car and you happen to be one of them!
The Toyota/Lexus cruise control stalk is so simple and intuitive.--it's great!
I love it too, and I don't have to fiddle around for it on the steering wheel!
Agreed 👍
I love my RC350 F sport. Seems like an unfair review. Everyone has different opinions. I’m coming from a WRX. I have the RWD so it’s not exactly the same as a WRX but it’s just as fun with fast shifts and good powered engine. Plus you can’t beat the interior quality. Not sure about the quality of a Lexus vs Subaru. Time will tell but I’m very happy with RC350 F.
He is clueless on this one ☝️
Material quality fairly good??? I believe Lexus actually uses the best materials in the game with the highest build quality. Everything is solid no creaking anywhere like a bmw or Mercedes’
Lexus refers to the RC 350 F as a luxury touring car so you have completely mislabeled the vehicle. The RCF is a sports car. The touch screen is also fairly easy to use. You don't comprehend Lexus very well.
Supra is a Sports Car, RC350 is a Grand Touring Car. Too many times people inter compare the two types together making one type a shortfall of the other. There doesn't exist the perfect car, just the best compromise for your taste.
Very well said. I agree!
Exactly!
Maybe it's the fact I'm pushing 40 now, but I prefer the old school look and feel of this interior to the charcoal gray trying to pass for black and wall of lcd screens on the dashboard. I'm constantly in front of either a PC monitor, tablet or phone, I don't need more staring me down when I'm out for a drive.😂 This is another of those cars we won't truly appreciate until it's gone, and that will be soon I'm afraid, the platform is over 10 years old now. (Not all bad to be old if Lexus decides to ditch the expensive and more complicated to assemble double wishbone front for McPherson struts like everyone else these days)
Love how you made it kinda feel like we were in the drivers seat in the beginning.
Seems like you don’t understand Lexus and are looking for things to complain about.
and the supra is powered by a shitty BMW motor sooooo it ain’t reliable
Funny how in the muscle car days of the 60's six seconds to sixty was very fast. Now it's considered slow. How fast do we really need to go? Unless you really are going to race it at the track which this car would be a poor choice. Otherwise this car is very perfect for most. Ego is a funny human trait.
This is not a sports car. It's a sporty car. Owners know this. They didn't buy it to race it on the track/street or show off to their friends how many horsepower it has. Its selling point is luxury, reliability, and adequate power all combined. To a typical Lexus owner, having a 500 horsepower vehicle to go grocery shopping is an overkill. They could afford a faster or better handling car if they wanted, but that's not what is most important to them.
Bro simply doesn’t know that an AWD transmission makes the “leg rest” puff out. Guy doesn’t know anything about cars.
No lexus is good new but as a used car its miles ahead of its German rivals
Currently own an 09 is350 but I either want this rc 350 or an rcf for my next car .
Love my 2020 RC 350, great car!!
Would rather the RWD
Going for the 2021 model next year in 24, should get a great low mileage one cpo.
I've got a 2022 RC 350 F Sport...it was $57,000. NOT A PIG. Awesome drive and enough power for Lexus drivers. The majority of us are not about sheer speed but for those who are, they have the RC F, LC 500 and the IS 500. I find no fault in the transmission at all. Smooth shifts that come at the right time. F Sport and listen to the engine growl and whine. Beautiful car...beautiful ride. And anytime one comes to the dealership, it is gone the next day. Our salesperson called a day before it was to arrive so we were there at 9 am! Left my deposit and closed the next day. I've had it for two weeks now and have received at least a dozen compliments. One man and his teen kid stopped in front of the house to say what a beautiful car it is. Agree there.
This gentleman that I'm listening to is basically hes right about one thing hes right the car does need more horsepower but this is a car that gives you a little bit of everything and you can't deny it's great engineered and it's a great built car in which Alexis does very very well the other car's head hes talking about more like the German brands go ahead buy your German brand after the warranty it will take it will drain your bank account and everybody knows that what they like the faster car as far as handling it handles pretty d*** well for an oil wheel drive because I have 1 So hes only right really about one thing it does need more horse power that is for sure cause they would sell a lot more of these cars what is a very very unique car and very well built an engineer car bottom line that is my opinion it is a great vehicle that gives you a good little bit of everything
Nice informative video but at the end you mentioned the "RC F". I thought I was just watching a video about that car. Guess I have to go find THAT video now.
I wish they would do a panoramic sunroom
Agreed. The roof looks like it’s the only thing that doesn’t belong.
Is this car discontinued for 2023?
Ok Jersey!!!!
thanks ♨️
um it's not the f model track edition , and it's NOT a sports car . It's for a guy who wants a goodlooking car that won't rip your inerds out
new toyota no longer nrand name and carry over by BMW Z4, the old supra mark 4 is better value.
And? Won't matter to them since they can barely sell it anyway. Even the RC in this video is struggling in its sales so the mk5 being collabed won't matter much since its selling well anyway.
Wheel well gap is the deal breaker for me
Fixed mine with RS-R Down Springs, now 2 finger width between tire and wheel wells, front and back as it should of come stock.
@@chromefury9155 very nice... I'm sure the handling is improved.
@@Damone7653 Adding rear camber and re-alignment is a must. It's good now without the worry of tire wear.
1:40 sounded kind of sweet LOL.
You want a good &distinctive sound, listen to my g37S. Best part is it is a fraction of a cost of this 'wannabe sport' looking thingamajig. T & L try to hard 😂
Thank you for saving me 35k
Vs the Lc500?
Or what do you mean?
I had the RC-F. Sold it after eight months. A most forgettable car.
What didn’t you like about it?, by the way I’m looking into the rc f and rc 350 I do not know which one to decide on
@Texas Iboa I saw both your negative comments. Was it fun at all lol??
@Texas Iboa just a bmw fanboi irrelevant
Probably didn't and just a mustang fanboi
@Texas Iboa look I'm sorry I just been reslly thinking about getting th rc350 a main concern of mine was mpg which is why I didn't think about the rcf. What MpG were you getting on average?
