I am on my way to Houston to pick up my 2024 LC500 Inspiration series convertible (polar white satin w/deep blue interior) . Maybe you'll see my unicorn. 😊
Been living in europe for 3 years and just saw ine yesterday... -_- in north america they are also extremely rare. Gotta say its a classy fucken whip in person. Not too much a fan of the japs (imo bang for buck the germans slap them to shit) but this thing is something else.😮💨
Track pad isn't bad at all. When these people review this car they can't find anything wrong wit it, so they have to bitch about something. I do wish it had a front camera.
@@robertsanssouci2093 the 2024 touchscreen looks a mess inside that car- track pad all day over that. it's not a big deal to use and you barely need it anyway. it should have a front camera, which you can aftermarket tho. just back into spots to be safe. Lexus' 360 view even on their new stuff is the old style 360 fisheye lens view and it looks like total shit
The LC is scattered all over Florida, especially the convertible as you would imagine. I currently own the RCF, a little bit lighter and faster than the LC. Seems like now the RCF is more rare than the LC in my area. Eventually, I'll get an LC because it's just a work of art.
The difference in speed between the LC and RC F isn't noticeable though- that's really splitting hairs. the RCF is held back by a mediocre transmission that, for a performance car, is sluggish and hunts for gears on turn in at speed. The transmission in the LC feels vastly better and SHOULD have been put in the RCF- it's as close to a DCT as you can get without being one. I'd have an RC F parked next to my LC if it wasn't for that transmission. The ride quality and exhaust note is noticeably better in the LC as well. Not trying to knock the RCF btw- I like their looks inside and out (especially the retro interior I love), but for a car that's supposed to be more sporty it isn't very focused; you get the stiffer ride but lack the associated gear handling. Still, I go back and forth with wanting to get one (or an IS500).
It sounds to me like just about all of your negative issues were caused by you. Why didn’t you just leave the car alone the way the Lexus engineers designed it? Every change you made affected the entire car. Lexus engineered this car to work with the computer system. By changing the wheels, you affected the suspension geometry and the car feels when you drive it. If you start monkeying around with the engine, trying to get more power, you’re going to further affect how the car performs. This car was designed by experts and even though it’s your car, if you would just leave it alone, it would serve you well. As for the trackpad, why don’t you read the owners manual? Find the section on voice command and you will sell them. Need to use the trackpad at all. Try to remember this entire car is an integrated package designed to work as perfectly as possible, as it comes from the factory. Once you start modifying the car, unexpected results can, and often do happen. That isn’t Lexus’s fault. That is your fault. One last thing, if you would run through the set up program on your infotainment system, you can set the sensors so that, you really don’t need a front camera. They will sense curbs, posts and any other object. By lowering the car, you threw that system off completely. It’s your car. Do whatever you want. Just remember, the people at Lexus tried to make the very best carpossible.
Oh where do I begin? Oh boy.. The tie rod issue was found before the car was lowered. Easy fix so no worries. I actually like the track pad, but that sultry voice command probably won’t work for me as I’m screaming that V8 greatness. Ever heard of Kuhl? Liberty Walk? Both massive Japanese brands who have taken the LC to crazy limits. Akira Nakai from RWB? The work he does to Germany’s arguably best brand…Porsche? But thank you for the comment. The LC is amazing and I think we can both agree on that. 🙏
@@Magmade_ if you had any engineering background or experience whatsoever, you would realize how out of your element you truly are. The commenter you replied to is absolutely correct. Cars are precisely engineered from top to bottom. If you think aftermarket parts and modifications will “improve” anything, then God bless you, man.
@@Magmade_ You don't need engineering background... just use logical reasoning - if you could just "add" power to a well designed engine without adverse effects, that means the engineers who designed this engine are idiots for leaving power on the table for the taking. 😂
I love C8 front and exhaust sound but the rear is just butt ugly cheap looking yuke. Then LC500 front looks so ugly and exhaust sounds so bad. Mix of the best of both will be perfect :)
@@bedbath9056 the LC500 exhaust is superior sounding- every major car reviewer calls it out as the best factory exhaust out there. you don't know what you're talking about, just stop.
it doesn't matter if you don't park next to people, park at the opposite corner of the parking lot, some beater car will find you and park next to you. Sadness.
You’re right, as an owner we tend to like the trac pad. The issue is it takes some getting used to. A day review isn’t going to get u there, hence the bad press.
I feel like 10 years on, you will start to see more mods for these 2UR-GSE like you currently have for the 4.0 1UR-GSE. I would like to see a procharger kit or a twin turbo kit (Small turbos). There's a lot of room in that engine bay!
I was really interested in this vehicle. I researched it for over a year. When my son went to college, I could finally consider a 2 door coupe with limited practicality. However, when I test drove the car, I found out how impractical the car really is. This is not a small car, it is huge but the interior was almost claustrophobic. The back of the front seat literally touches the front of the back seat. You cannot put anyone in the back. The hatch area is pretty small as well, without a spare tire or any depth. How can this be so large and have such a small interior. Finally, you sit very low in the car. I own a GS350, I guess I could have made the move if I had a smaller car to move from.
This car has the same philosophy as the sc430. Back seats are not for use but for lower insurance. 2 door 2 seater demands higher insurance than 2 door 4 seater.
The part where you park far away from others...I do the same with my GT350. I get so paranoid. I have a Lexus ES as a daily and it feels so much easier on my nerves to park anywhere.
Looking for one now as it's very similar to the weight and power of my Maserati GT. 4,365lbs/454 HP. I could care less about speed or the lack of power, not my thing. I want this car because it's beautiful, like my GT, and I won't see one at every other red light. And the interior is gorgeous! I want the performance pkg though, I like that active rear spoiler. 😝
Appreciate the video. I am looking for a daily driving car and considering the LC. Wasn't sure about used vs 2024. Would also like to learn more about the cost of lowering and other mods. And how you chose your aftermarket mods, etc.
Lc is my dream car but its far from reachable for me. I could afford an old isf now. Or maybe an rcf in few years. But idk if i will be able to afford an lc in my life

Are there any LC Clubs or meet ups in the DFW area? I am literally watching your video while on a plane to Houston to pick up my 2024 LC 500 covertible Inspiration Series. Only 1 of 125 and only one of fewer convertibles - no track pad. Lol I think I'm in love. Thank you for the vid and insight.
@@Magmade_ quick question besides the suspension issue you have would you buy a lc500 2017 lc 15k miles full trd aero and trd rims for 52k with no warranty ? Or if you had an option for warranty would you get it . Thank you
@@lmmedia35 52k is very cheap! I would make sure the title is clean. If you like the rim and aero then thats a great deal. I personally bought the best deal LC I could find at the time with 20" wheels because I knew my plan for this car before I bought it. Check the CarFax. If it has good history then I would not be worried about the warranty. Mine was a one owner, full maintenance history so I bought mine out of warranty. Its a Lexus.. it will last forever!
@@Magmade_ I’m in Japan so currently they are really cheap cause the yen rate . They are clens title and performance s package . I’m thinking the same I heard the 20 ride better
More LC500 build. I am deciding between GTR and LC so I appreciate when u mention GTRs but your vids help me lean towards the LC, which is what my brain wants me to buy...(price reliability luxury)
Bruh we gotta work on your content I love the LC there’s a lot more you could go over. Love the openness but as a fellow Texas and Dallas resident we gotta see more in depth review. Also there’s a RCF supercharged out there it can be done. There wasn’t turbo kits for a lot of things until you are the first!
There is no comparison to make. Concerning the LC500 Tuning, ask TJ HUNT. But i think that would be compromising the reliability and the soûl of the car.
I have had two convertibles. I really didn't like either of them. The lines of hardtops are much better. I've been told convertibles are to be driven with the top down. Tell me that in January. The LC500 is a really nice looking car. It's dependable. It's relatively inexpensive to repair. You need faster, go buy a jet.
In my opinion every owner of premium brand car specially flag ship model lazy enough to do all services after warranty in authorized dealer should be prepared for big maintenance costs. That's normal! There is nothing to complain about. If you want to decrease running costs you can do a lot of maintenance in independent workshops and buy parts from OEM to safe LOT of money without quality loss.
You could of bought a performance strut way cheaper and just replaced all 4, you pay $170 for an old change you definitely NOT A CAR GUY. You can change your oil in 15 minutes you can't drive to the dealership in 15 min besides waiting around or even if the give you a loaner it still is longer then 15 minutes, you need to learn how to source parts and wrench on them
@@jamesharding6183 I could change my own oil if I wanted to. I’m an extremely busy person so I choose to have it done. It’s not that I don’t know how to. The LC has adaptive struts. You don’t put just any strut from autozone on this car.
trust me, you don't want the is500. I just bought a brand new is500 2024, drove for a month and traded in for an LC500. You just can't compare these two. The is500 is super floaty, unstable, and unconfident on winding road, which is a shame. It drives like a luxury family sedan. Heck, even the bmw 340i rides a lot more planted. The steering is also awful. Seat not as good as LC either. The LC is solid, feels much like my 2019 Panamera turbo when it comes to chassis feel/handling. I would probably get a GR86 or something more track focused to play with long with the LC if I were you. And an SUV to haul ppl/stuff around.
I understand your concern and I can assure you my eyes are on the road. I mix my mounted GoPro and handheld shots. Im extremely careful with my driving and vigilant of my surroundings. Unfortunately I pass more people with heads down and staring down at their phones on daily basis. That pisses me off.
As a PhD in Computer Engineering, my wife and I are finished acquiring the latest cars. We are content with our forever cars: a 2021 Silver AWD Lexus LS 500 (wife's daily driver), a 2020 Army green 4Runner TRD PRO (long-distance trips with the dogs), a 2016 3" lifted blue-pearl TRD Sport Tacoma with a 6' bed with over-sized K02's 4x4 tires (my daily driver) with a custom "barbed-wired" headache rack, and our emerald green 2013 MR2 Convertible (1/2-1 day trips---you can't fit much luggage or souvenirs in a 2 seater). I do minor maintenance---oil changes, replacing oil and air filters, checking the liquids, etc, on all the cars. We are a Toyota family for two reasons: their cars are reliable and have no-frills technology. We considered buying an LC but already have a 2-seater for weekend getaways.
Why wouldn’t you ? With the Lexus relax ten year warranty it’s a no brainer. Simple as. There isn’t a better car on the road. Period ! This isn’t just a car. It’s automotive art. Nothing Jaguar. BMW. Audi. Mercedes do come close. Nothing !!!!!!!
Asking people to likr and subscribe before you provide any proof whatsoever of quality material, worthy of subscription, is instant downvote and skip. I wont downvote, but yeah, not watching now.
Who wants to see a LC500 vs GTR and C7 Z06 comparison video? Features , build quality, performance, etc… ???
This would be a good video that would benefit those who are trying to choose between 3 very different cars.
This video would be good to know about maintenance cost between them.

There is currently not supercharger or turbo available for the LC… but nitrous? 🤔

Get a pro charger
IS500 is badass
A manual and more useful backseats and I’d buy this car. Looks like I’ll stick w the 911
Should had bought a GTR
The front of bmw looks lame now. Is500 is way better than that junk. Also holds value better.
hand holding the camera while you interview yourself while driving down a public road is a bad idea
I understand your concern and I can assure you my eyes are on the road. I mix my mounted GoPro and handheld shots. Im extremely careful with my driving and vigilant of my surroundings. Unfortunately I pass more people with heads down and staring down at their phones on daily basis. That pisses me off.
Back in. Never scrape your nose again
As a PhD in Computer Engineering, my wife and I are finished acquiring the latest cars. We are content with our forever cars: a 2021 Silver AWD Lexus LS 500 (wife's daily driver), a 2020 Army green 4Runner TRD PRO (long-distance trips with the dogs), a 2016 3" lifted blue-pearl TRD Sport Tacoma with a 6' bed with over-sized K02's 4x4 tires (my daily driver) with a custom "barbed-wired" headache rack, and our emerald green 2013 MR2 Convertible (1/2-1 day trips---you can't fit much luggage or souvenirs in a 2 seater). I do minor maintenance---oil changes, replacing oil and air filters, checking the liquids, etc, on all the cars. We are a Toyota family for two reasons: their cars are reliable and have no-frills technology. We considered buying an LC but already have a 2-seater for weekend getaways.
Put a supercharger
These cars will be worth 250k plus within the next 20 years. It is the last breed of a dying generation
Why wouldn’t you ? With the Lexus relax ten year warranty it’s a no brainer. Simple as. There isn’t a better car on the road. Period ! This isn’t just a car. It’s automotive art. Nothing Jaguar. BMW. Audi. Mercedes do come close. Nothing !!!!!!!
