Love my RC
No, its not the fastest. Its heavy. But it is a head turner. Mine is Infrared and it gets noticed. Alot. The atomic silver looks great too. Its very quiet. The road feel is great in eco mode. In sport or sport + you feel road shock. But the acceleration changes dramatically, as does the sound. Mileage is disappointing for a 3.5 v6. Im getting 20ish in the summer, and I'm almost always in eco mode. About 23 continual on road. But it's geared differently. I sold my 2006 Crossfire for this. I loved that one. Had it for 10 years. The Cross was a beautiful car. But it was a 2006 vs a 2015. The Cross was way lighter and because of that very quick. The RC is a true GT for two. A wonderful driver full of amenities. Its a car that makes you feel like a million bucks. The tech is ok. Screens fine. That could use improvement. But it does everything ok. I love getting in it. Love rolling the boulevard. It grabs the eye for sure. Beautiful classic design of a sports coupe. It's not the end all to be all. But if you want a beautiful car, that does it all well, and is not boring, without paying an arm and 2 legs, snag this one.

Fun Car to Drive!
With this car I actually look forward to driving somewhere. I love the color and exterior design of this car, plus you can't beat Lexus quality and engineering. The warranty is also one of the best in the business so you can rest easy that is will last. The car is very fast when you want it to be, and if you want better gas mileage just switch it to econ mode. What a cool car! The best one I've ever owned.

The only one that caught my eye
I traded in a 2006 Crossfire for this. Loved the Cross, and no other car but the RC would have induced me to give it up. The Cross was faster, but alot smaller, and alot less weight. But I gained alot of perks with the RC being 9 years newer. Im not going to be racing the car anyway. Performance is fine, ride is great, looks are stunning (I get compliments all the time.). Overall, I've really liked this car. Im 6'1 and getting in and out of the RC is easier than the Crossfire. It's s a solid 4 star for me. I had no problems with the Crossfire, and I hope the reliability of this one will be the same. Personally I'd like to see them get rid of the nav system altogether. I'll use my phone. It doesn't recognize voice very well at all. Waste of money in my view. For most cars I've found that to be the case. The mousepad is ok. I'd simply prefer buttons and knobs. I'll give it a 5+ for looks, and a solid 4 for everything else. Infrared with all black F sport.

Great looks and reliability
I bought this car to replace my GS350. I opted for the atomic silver color which really looks good on this vehicle. I still get positive comments from strangers who view it in parking lots 6 years later. I love the reliability and it has adequate speed when I need to merge with traffic or need to pass someone in a short passing zone, particularly in sport mode. Snow mode worked well for me when I was caught in a surprise blizzard and had to climb a steep hill on the way home from work. The back seats are really small, but I like that I can pull them down to expand my trunk area. The entrance to the trunk area is small, so I can't always fit large boxes into the trunk. I don't like the touch pad used to navigate menus. Too sensitive and sometimes auto dials a contact I don't want to call if I hit a bump. Overall, I love the car and would buy it again. The ride is sporty and I average about 22.5 mpg.
