Love Love Love my RC 350 F Sport
I spent months reading reviews, watching video road tests, and test driving myself, but 2 weeks ago I finally purchased a RC 350 F Sport. The car is the ultimate mix of luxury and sport. The ability to change the driving dynamics from Eco, Normal, Sport to Sport+ make it feel like you own two cars at once. If cruising in quite and luxury is your thing Eco or Normal and if you want aggressive shift points and tighter suspension then Sport+ makes the car rock! The interior is such a contemporary mix of materials and touches that it's a treat every time I get into the car. The Lexus Touchpad interface for Navigation system does take some getting used to. It's jumpy at first, but after a few days you will have it mastered. Steering wheel and dash controls make most systems in the car redundant so there are many ways to do things. 1yr later-Still enjoying driving the RC each and everyday. Had a few unexpected squeaks/rattles that needed to be addressed with the dealer. All were fixed but a. It disappointed they happened at all coming from Lexus. Also a bit disappointed in the quality of the paint on the hood. I drive less then 1,000 per month, yet have more hood paint sings then you would expect. Still the sporty and luxury coup I expected. The only thing I don't love is that when you enter and exit the car you have to climb in and climb out. I had a mustang prior and it was easier to enter/exit then the Lexus. It might just sit lower to the ground and take some getting used to.

Not yet ready for Primetime
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.

Solid, well-thought out coupe
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!

RC Excellence
This car is definitely not family-friendly. However, if you’re a bachelor or bachelorette, this car is amazing from top to bottom. I don’t have one anymore because I was hit and totaled out on the right aft section of my RC, but I immediately got out of the car with not a single injury. Not even whiplash that people get weeks after. Excellent vehicle.

Love this RC
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.
