This was a replacement for our 2013 Lexus GS 350. Weve had the car for about three months at this point and there are some pluses and minuses to highlight. First off to the "so called experts" who knock the looks of this car, this car is visually stunning. I've had at least 100 people stop me to ask what kind of Lexus is it, and they comment on how gorgeous it is. I have the Ultrasonic Blue with playa interior. The interior fit and finish are exceptional. The F Sport seats have the right amount of side bolstering for fast cornering. Here are my gripes with this car. The engine is underwhelming. This is the same engine from the GS but it seems to be tuned much less sporty. Update*** It's been 2+ years since I purchased the RC350. I have found lots to like about the vehicle (e.g. styling, reliability, functionality) while the same issues that plagued the car after a few months still exist ( bad fuel economy, glitch CPU for navigation). Lexus somewhat addressed the fuel economy by introducing the 4 cylinder turbo RC. I would purchase this vehicle over again knowing what I do now about it. For my needs it checks off many of the boxes and their aren't droves of them on the streets (ala BMW 4 series). Update*** It has been almost three years since I leased the RC350. Styling wise it has aged well, but technology wise three years is a lifetime. The interior has held up well and the overall mechanics of the car work fine. Lexus has seemingly abandoned this car from an advertising standpoint as everything is now compact SUV biased. If you are in the market for an RC search around because great deals are out there.

Excellent machine. Intuitive. Understated elegance. Quality of materials are top notch. Quite cabin. Fit / Finish / Paint meticulous. Lexus Got right in first year coupe what Infiniti couldn't get right on the G37 and A5 since production. Wonderful car. Delivered in perfection. Gas mileage is also good. Very nice ride and one of the best looking coupes out there!

I purchased my 2015 as a Certified Lexus in 2017. It is an F sport. It actually changes the suspension, shift points and throttle response. It is wicked fun to drive and to me, 306 hp with that amazing 8 speed shiftable tranny is enough for me. The cockpit is amazingly lit at night and the Guage Package is superb. Digital MPH! I have had all of the service by my Lexus dealer and she just received her 60k service. A truly amazing vehicle.

This car looks like a hot rod and rides like a luxury sedan. It really is the best of both worlds, although it can be a challenge to get in an out for some. The front seats are very comfortable, rear seats are pretty much reserved for kids or small packages. Like others have said, the navigation controls are a bit confusing and I still can't figure out how to change the XM radio stations from the steering wheel mounted controls. The climate controls themselves are a bit hard to reach - especially the dashboard mounted radio tuning knob if you like to sit farther back from the steering wheel. The car is pretty quiet and is a great cruiser - acceleration is adequate under normal conditions but the car does get up and go when you step on it- and it sounds great. I chose the Lexus RC 350 AWD over the BMW 428XI because there are too many BMW's on the road - not that they will be there for long considering their reliability issues. Overall - I'd recommend the RC 350 to anyone looking for a reliable yet unique luxury sports coupe under 60 grand.
