If you're looking for a luxurious sports coupe that is quiet, comfortable, & exciting to drive; the RC 300 is the perfect car. The interior is very elegant and comfortable as you'd expect from a Lexus. Suspension is tuned to give a soft ride but tight enough for you to know its a sports car! Infotainment system is very easy to use in my opinion. The V6 engine is quiet and has ample horsepower to rival other cars in its class. One downside is the V6's fuel economy, which is so-so. Also the RC is a little heavy compared to others in the class. I usually get about 21mpg combined. I opted for the FSport package which included FSport exterior/interior styling and badges, adaptive variable transmission, 19in wheels w/ all-season Michelin tires, and a host of other features such as heated steering wheel and seats, back-up monitor with rear cross traffic alert, LFA inspired digital dash + more! Overall I love the car! I use my car mostly for weekend/highway travel so I spend a lot of time in the car during long trips. Every time I stop at a gas station, shopping center, etc., people are at awe of the styling of the car. I am constantly asked "What kind of car is that!?!?" and the RC constantly receives compliments! I would describe the RC and a "smooth operator"

BEST LEXUS EVER

Great looking car. Gets lots of looks. Ride is excellent and very smooth but good handling. Feels like a supercar from behind the wheel. I had an LS460 before this and this car is my favorite. I do lots of highway and this car accelerates great with lots of low RPM torque. Does not need to rev high to get going. Smooth and refined. Really the best car Lexus ever made. I will keep being one after another for years to come. The RC is great for a young Dr like myself!!! update: 5/10/2017 Have 17,000 miles now. Problem free. Car rides and drives great. Smooth power from engine. Accelerates quickly. Great traction in snow. If you can only have one car for everything this is the car. I still think the RC300 is the best Lexus ever and a really great sports car.

F Sport in Caviar. This car's interior and exterior look great - better than A5 and C43 (subjective), better quality than Merc. (fact) + no NAV Screen glued to the top of the dash. Downs: terrible fuel economy (how Toyota combined low torque, hp, and fuel economy in the 300 is an engineering feat) and awful handling, much worse than the Germans; the engine needs AT LEAST 50 more hp (RC 350); the 6 speed auto is fairly terrible (the gearing is so long by the time you reach max torque and hp in any gear other than 1st you are going very fast)-and the AWD excuse makes no sense, see Audi and Merc (I typically shift myself); the touchpad is a nightmare and this generation should have never been put into production. Also, some quality issues, surprising based on Lexus/Toyota reputation-dash replaced due to a small crack at edge of speaker (Lexus covered the dash, but stuck me with the $385 labor-as if I cracked my own dash at 5k miles) and this new dash has a small spot of discoloration, headlights replaced due to fogging on the inside, and a few minor paint imperfections. I went from owning two Audis to the RC 300 F and miss the sportier focus, but overall, despite this review, love the car. Many compliments, just lacking performance...

This Lexus is beautiful from the outside as it is on the inside. The responsiveness in Sport+ mode is unparalleled. I chose this vehicle over the 2019 Audi S5, even with the heads up display in the Audi and lighting under the doors. Will lease Lexus again!

Car is super smooth and quiet, perfect grand touring car. Definitely on the heavy side so doesn't have the tight handling of a Miata, but overall pretty fun to drive. The weight kills the MPG though and I only averaged about 16-17 mpg in mixed driving and not a heavy foot. W heavy foot that number drops. No standard blind spot (which is def needed) or sunroof or any other safety tech and side mirrors don't tilt down in reverse which is pretty lame for a $45k Lexus. Car is built like a tank though and if I didn't have a kid I probably wouldn't be getting rid of it after just a year.

Rc300 f-sport AWD! It suits a good day getting to the office every morning. Can still enjoy on a snowy day. And head skiing after work. Three selling points that worked for me. 1) traditional v6 for reliability over the 4 banger turbos. . Toyota v6 engine are proven to be bullet proof! 2) AWD for Utah snow. 3) the finished material and styling design well suited for a single person. I was shopping for a Porsche me an for over a month. But it took only 1 day to act upon picking this up at my local Lexus dealership soon as I woke up Saturday morning .

2019 RC300 AWD may lack in the HP/Top Speed department but in my experience it gets going, and fast to hit 80-100 without any difficulty. Of course, we highway traffic nowadays, speed checks and radar, does anyone need a car that goes 200? I think not. The Lexus construction, inside and out, in my opinion is a 10, and I’ve owned Maserati, Mercedes, Alfa Romeo, Acura and more. If you wish to a high quality coupe, that is bulletproof, then this a GREAT CAR!

I was in the market for a new car and was looking at the Lexus CT. When I came across the RC 300, I never looked back. I have zero complaints about this vehicle. I receive compliments daily regarding it stunning appearance. I haven't seen any on the road in my area either. This makes me feel special.

I'm happier with the car than I even thought I would be. Only negatives are storage space and less zip off the line than the 350. Still, it's a great ride.

New owner of a 2016 Rc300 AWD F series. Went from a 2008 Audi TT and find it just as enjoyable. Smooth ride, great performance and gives me what I need for my life. Love it.
Fun and flashy

Bought my used RC 300 luxury edition from a local BMW dealership. It has far surpassed any expectation I had prior to driving a car. The fuel economy the worst aspect of the car, but the performance and fun aspect far outweigh the greedy gas pump. The caviar paint, chrome accents, and camel interior make me feel like I'm driving an exotic car. I live in an area we're back roads are plentiful with winding turns and ample straightaways to see what she can do and handle. Even with the air conditioner on full blast, and in eco mode, there is plenty of pep and vigor she puts out. I have yet to test her timing on performance, but from watching videos, I believe she will exceed all of those. She is not sluggish at all and hits nearly 60 miles an hour topping out 2nd gear. Almost too much fun to drive oh, almost.

I went to the Lexus dealership in Manchester NH to buy an RX 350 but my eyes locked onto the RC. I have driven the vehicle only a week or so but, so far, love it. The RC responds well, looks great and the interior is quite attractive. The back seat is surprisingly large in conflict with the reviews. The car is quite comfortable and is made for the highway. All and all, I am quite pleased with my purchase. Steve Partello

I love this car. I wasn’t looking for a street legal race car. I wanted a tight, smooth, crisp driver with all wheel drive that is a joy to driver, decent on gas, amazing in even deep snow that you turn the key and it goes every single time and with class. I absolutely love this car. It’s my all time favorite and I’ve had a ton of very nice cars.

Nothing here to dislike but if I had one complaint it would be the rear view mirrors intimidatingly small but after a test drive you adjust real quick and it’s not a problem. Sports vehicles usually have a rough ride but this vehicle tricks you into thinking it’s a luxury vehicle with a smooth suspension to tackle the bumps and potholes on the road. Love how it’s designed and built solid vehicle they spared no expense. I really want this vehicle for my 60th Birthday 🥳 🎂❤️😍🥰
