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.

Exciting styling, impressive craftsmanship, quality, and peace of mind reliability. I opted for this car, after researching some BMW, and Mercedes offerings, all in all this lexus fits a good balance of what's most important in the long run, comfort and reliability. Sure the German cars offer up more powerful engines, but at what cost? Theirs also the factor of the RC bold styling, no one will mistake you for the everyday beamer you see going down the road. The only cons I can nit pick at are the less then stellar MPG, the dated infotament system, and perhaps the engines modest 306hp. By all means the power is plenty for everyday driving, passing power, and adequate enough for some fun in the streets. I think any lexus owner can agree the infotainment system needs a overhaul ASAP, it's not horrible, but it's just so bland in appearance and function. Gas mileage can be decent if you baby it, however you can quickly find yourself in the 17-19mpg in the city trying to escape traffic. Over all I would by this car again, and hope to see lexus fix some of the minor issues in the future. (Turbo 6, updated infotainment, weight reduction)

I was searching for a great looking sports car, with great reliability and yet that still had a back seat for my 2 small kids, and AWD for snow. After months of searching this was it. The BMW 4 series was a close second but comments about reliability, bland styling and the shear numbers of BMWs out there, I picked this car. The only negative thing I have to say about it is that it is not as fast as it looks! It is much slower than I expected but the ride and handling are superb. Update: Still a great car and still turning heads as it rolls by. Gas mileage is not great about 16 in town and 23-25 on the highway. The only negative thing is that the paint is very, very thin and seems to scratch and stain very easily. Regular washing and waxing have helped but that was not something I anticipated. Update--Still a great looking and driving car. No mechanical or electrical problems with it. Paint scratches easily is my only complaint. Car still turns heads 4 years later but I have kept it in immaculate condition.

The steering is horrible. The vehicle alignment throws you to the curb, especially on wet surfaces. According to two different dealerships, the car is within spec. This is a car that is all for show, definitely not performance (and I opted for the F Sport). If you are an enthusiast, stick with the Germans or Brits. The pursuit of perfection? Far from it. Update: Since the above mentioned issue, Lexus of Tampa Bay went above and beyond to handle correcting the issue. ALL 8 South Florida locations I visited either inspected the car and retutned it with condescending and/or bogus explanations or outright refused to look at the car. The worst offender being JM Lexus. Lexus of Tampa were the only one interested in pleasing a customer. In summation, once corrected, the car has indeed been pleasing to drive but, it is more or less just for turning heads and getting attention. If you are a Toyota brand enthusiast, get a V6 Camary or a Lexus IS and save 10's of thousands. The early experience, poor customer service from Corporate and time that I had to invest in order to correct a factory issue they tried to ignore has made me a one time only Toyota/Lexus brand buyer.
