I was looking for something different- and this is it. Smooth and enough power to make it fun. Found it!!!! I smile every time I get in the car - and with Lexus reliability- I will be doing that for a while. Not a track car - but that is not what I wanted. This is a great trip car for two! Great deals to be had on 2015!
It is a Lexus!

First of all. I will agree 100% with Lee Monk's review above. This vehicle is definitely a very attractive car. We have got so much attention, all thumbs up. It also replaces our 2013 GS which I very much liked. It's fun to drive, fit and finish is excellent. Ride is great for a sports car. Dependability is part of the brand name. The navigation is a little pain to operate. The screen could full up the area, that would be welcomed.

Most reliable car for a college student

lots of videos are out there on youtube, however, my personal experience with this coupe is simply impressive. The RC 350 has lots of latest technology what a student would want. From navigation, phone , radio features, to radar cruise; it has it. I am very impressed with radar cruise control feature, especially when driving long distances and using this feature. As far as the engine and transmission goes, I believe they are the most reliable components of the car. It won't need any major maintenance on it until over 100,000 miles. And I think that's good for a student.

This is a very comfortable, pleasure to drive car. I owned a 1999 350SC and hated to part with it. Drove it 13 years. Tried an Infinity and switched back to Lexus in 2015. Happy again!

This car is amazing! Sure, it’s not the most powerful in it’s class but it has much more power than you need on the roads in the country taking the speed limits into consideration. The car is insanely comfortable and looks very classy and sporty in my opinion and is beautifully crafted. The infotainment screen could be larger, but I believe they took care of that in the 2018 model. The handling on it is amazing, you get good control of the car even at high speeds. The grip of the steering wheel feels great and the seats are sporty and comfortable at the same time. The gauge cluster is heavenly too! (On the Fsport model only). Not to mention all the options and safety features that are available on the car. I don’t mean to put anybody down with this but comparing it to it’s main competitor the Infinity Q60 (in my opinion) I would take the RC any day! The Q60 is cheaply built compared to the RC. Just look at the blind spot monitors that come with the Q60! They look like cheap aftermarket products! And they are located at the cars pillars not in the mirrors! But again, that’s just my opinion. I would definitely recommend the Lexus RC 350 (Fsport if possible) to anybody in the market for a car in it’s class. At the end of the day, it’s a Lexus. Which means that it adds great reliability to sport and comfort! It’s the perfect package!

This is a smooth running comfortable car with lots of power. The paddle shifters give you an extra "kick-down" gear when you want to zip around someone or merge onto the freeway. It has plenty of power for street driving, but it’s so quick you have to watch out because you can be over 90 mph before you realize it. I acquired the car new in 2016. Almost three years later it has proven to be the most reliable brand I’ve ever purchased. The only times I’ve had it to the shop is for routine maintenance This is my fourth Lexus since 1998 and none can be be beat for reliability. The RC-350 continues to be outstanding value. I would buy it again.

I recently traded my Porsche 911 Carrera 2013 for a 2019 RC F Sport 350. This car is more of a boulevard cruiser in luxury than an actual “sports” car, and I love it. The Porsche I owned for 6 years and quality was second to none, it was very fast but very expensive to keep. My 10,000 mile service was due and quote was north of $1,850.00 insane. Since I also own an 2016 Avalon thought I would like a “Toyota “ type sports car and yes it more than suits my needs. Build quality of Lexus IS excellent and I believe it will keep putting a smile on my face as I keep putting on miles. SOLD VEHICLE FOR TESLA MODEL 3 IN JULY 2020 now sold Tesla for Lexus LS 500

The RC350 AWD FSport model is a fun car to drive. We’ve had several Lexus vehicles and dozens of other makes both SUVs and Sedans, but this is one of our great cars to drive. I wanted a fun car to drive in my senior years. I looked at the 2018 Mustang GT 5.0, the 2018 Camero and the 2018 and 2016 Corvette Stingray and decided to buy the 2018 RC 350 Black Edition FSport AW drive. Why did we chose this vehicle? Fit and finish was better than all the other cars I reviewed, the features and the price by comparison. The quality of this Lexus is fantastic like all the previous Lexus vehicles we have owned. In Sport mode it has a very throaty sound and the suspension tightens right up. It corners flat on the corners and pulls away out of the turns. Having raced 1600 cc vehicles with modified engines, I would love to take this Lexus on the track against any of the ones I owned/raced in the past. Want quality and reliability, buy a Lexus. It lacks three features our RX 350 has: HUD, all-around camera viewing for parking (low front end can be damaged when parking without this feature) and side mirrors that collapse when car is locked. Since buying this vehicle I have only had one visit to the dealer and that was for recall for a gas pump recall. Unfortunately when they removed the pump they spilled gas under the rear seat and two months later the smell is still in the car. It sure gives us a headache whenever we are driving for more than twenty minutes. They said the smell would be gone in a day or two. WRONG! It would have been nice if they had cleaned up the mess before giving the car back to us. Other than that I still love the car. UPDATE: I no longer have this vehicle. With age and a bad back it was too hard to get in and out of the vehicle.

The Lexus RC350 is a fun car for long drives and touring rather than racing. Everything about this car is about lifestyle and opportunity for older clients to really enjoy a Lexus as well as comfort and performance. Since I will not be putting on many miles over the next 3 years of the lease, this car with low miles would be perfect to keep and enjoy for the long haul.

Overall its a fantastic sporty looking daily coupe. If you are looking for a car to impress people who don't know much about cars, while also not having to adhere to expensive maintenance schedules but at the cost of a boring car... DING DING DING this one is for you. The interior is immaculate, I loved mine, and the styling is great. The odometer is beautifully orchestrated showing all the info you would like (like tire psi, what song is playing, fuel economy, etc.). HOWEVER, this car gets 3 cars from a driving enthusiasts perspective... it would be a 5 star car from a normal owners perspective. Why? It drives like a boat. It is essentially a pretentious looking v6 camry but slower and less efficient on every capacity. The sound system (ML) is phenomenal and you'll need it as the engine notes from this thing are nonexistent. Performance: 2/5 Looks: 4/5 Fuel economy: 3/5 Interior: 4.5/5 (if it had android auto/apple car play it would be 5/5) I put heavy emphasis on the performance rating (2/5) as this was very much a very boring car to drive once you know how german performance cars play.

Just know that it’s much better quality than any of the other vehicles I reviewed before buying the RC 350 Black editionSport model with AWD. The fit and finish, the mechanical and the newest features make the Corvette, the Mustang and a few others we looked at were not even close to those of the Lexus. The gas mileage and the giddy-up have satisfied me totally. I only like a quality vehicle and this is just that. This Black Edition is a rare model and I know it will give me everything I ever wanted in a fun car. Looking for quality and perfection look no further. You will love the ride, the power, the interior, the smooth ride and the quality of the build. What this low front end vehicle needs is the surround cameras to prevent front end cowell damage. It also needs the HUD speedometer like our 2020 RX 350. We would also have liked the side view mirrors that close when doors are locked. A horn beep when care is locked is not the answer. We also prefer a beep when you attempt a turn when another vehicle is in your blind spot. NO LONGER HAVE THIS BEAUTY. BACK PROBLEMS SO I HAD TO SELL IT WITH ONLY 6,000 kms ON IT. BROKE MY HEART.

I love the sophistication of the standard RC350 F-Sport but it lacked performance to match it's looks. No one wants their 60k sport coupe to get blown away by a souped up Golf R-type great car that it is, so I turned to the aftermarket and with a growing owner base performance options are out there now and for less than 3 grand I have an RC350 F-Sport faster than its big brother the RF-f. It's still quite and smooth riding when I want it be but a real beast when I let it loose. I love driving this car just for the sake of driving it...even more than my classic 911. Strong recommendation

Overall this car does inherit Lexus comfort and reliability. Smooth ride and stunning exterior. Inside is a bit tight as expected in a sport car frame, but very quiet and ride is relatively smooth. Acceleration is not one of the strongest feature of this car and in Sport mode there is a bit of hesitation at the start from a complete stop. I have the Luxury package on this car and for most part it is loaded with features, but some important features are lacking compared to my older Lexus that had only the Premium package (See suggested improvements).
Outstanding GT.

Outstanding quality and reliability, with exceptional ride comfort. Surprisingly very quite cabin interior, unless you change your tires to performance summer tires which I did, but will return to all weather Michelin tire when it wears out soon to have a quite cabin again. No breakage, and everything works with no issues. Only thing done with my coupe is the normally scheduled fluid mainatenance, and periodic brakes pads due to my spirited driving style. Power is just enough, and ride comfort is exceptional.

It is by far the best looking coupe on the road for the money, can't think of one that is even remotely close to it. The looks and color (atomic silver) have been complimented many times in the 30 days that I have owned mine. The ride quality is what you expect out of a Lexus and the gas mileage is on par with the weight and size of the engine. The note of the engine/exhaust is fun when you put your foot in it. Many people have commented that they want more power, it would be nice, but then they would definitely cry about the fuel economy. If you want more power, spend another $20k and get the RCF. As you would expect in a couple, the size is small and the windows are narrow, but with the blind spot, cross traffic and rearview cameras it is fine. I am 6'6" and have about 1-2" of head room left.

In August of 2019 I bought the Lexus RC 350 F Sport with atomic silver And red leather interior. From the moment I sat in the car I knew it was for me. I test drove 31 cars over the summer of 2019. I test drove the second place Infiniti Q60, 3rd Place Mercedes C-Class Coupe, 4th Place BMW 3-Series and 4-series, and then the Audi A4 Coupe. What blows me away is that overall design of this car... the exterior, the interior, and the stereo system is the best I've ever heard in my entire life. I've heard nothing but great compliments on this, and it actually was compared to a Ferrari Roma. Anything less than five stars would be a lie.

I am so happy with this car. Going from a 2016 Ford Taurus to this... I was a little apprehensive because my Taurus was a limited and meant to be comfortable and so going to a little 2 door coupe made me nervous on comfort. Though I hate to admit it, I not getting any younger so comfort is important to me. I was more than surprised when I test drove this. Hands down 100% more comfortable than my other car. I should have known since it is a Lexus. But again being a sporty little two door I did not expect the smooth, quiet ride that it actually is. It’s like riding in a Cadillac dare I say! I love all of the options, and how the controls are all conveniently within my reach. Yes, the back seat is pretty useless, but I have no kids to chauffeur around anymore so I have no need. Don’t remember the last time I used the giant back seat in the Taurus. I will say there were things I didn’t take into account, like the fact that it takes only premium gas, and the tires are different sizes so you can’t rotate them and therefore must replace them sooner than you would on any other vehicle. However, I love the car so much that I want it anyway. These are just a few things you should take into consideration if you are thinking about buying one. I fell in love though and I’m keeping it!

We are in So. Fl. but flew to NC to drive the car back. Johnson Lexus was the dealer that had the color combo and trim level. The dealers in So. Fl were also horrible to deal with. Devon and Brett bent over backwards to treat us right. We love the car and there aren't that many on the road.

This is my 5th Lexus. All have been exceptional, but this coupe is a blast to drive. Test drove 435,A5 and C300, all were very fine cars. But to me the Lexus once again was the total package. Not quite as fast as the BMW or the Audi but fast enough for most people and the ride and handling are superb, and the looks from people stopping in their tracks to stare, mine is in Infared and Playa.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Had this car since new. If you can get past the low slung, cramped interior, this is a great car. Comfortable seats with all the, bells, whistles, and all the power you need. Gray w/red leather, it draws a lot of looks. The downside...22 MPG on premium fuel. On the positive side, getting into and out of the car keeps me limber. Don’t race but with this car, I could. If you are looking at luxury vehicles, this is worth consideration...

This is a great luxury sport car. It is more of a grand touring car. Stylish and great pick up. Fun to drive in sport mode and very reliable. I own a 2018 RC 350 F and really enjoy the car. It is not a race car. It holds its value.

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.

Under 11k miles, 3 years, and serious problems

With under 11k miles and 3 years of ownership with easy driving, I have had to already replace the front brake rotors from aluminum to steel (a downgrade) due to a design defect as well as a rear shock based on what the dealership described to me as a "freak faulty part". Right now, the front facing A/C vents are spewing cold air on the drivers side and hot air on the passenger side without dual climate control enabled, if it pushes air out the front facing vents at all. Another trip to the dealership on the books.

Have really enjoyed this car. Great value for the money, with Lexus quality and reliability. Was a bit disappointing after driving an SC for 10 years, which had more luxury interior, and lots more storage. New technology is fantastic! Love the Mark Levinson, sounds fantastic.

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.

Don't go driving it in freezing rain and snow!

I got caught in a snow storm October 24, 2019, on my way to Oklahoma. The blowing snow, freezing rain and blowing water from the road by other vehicles caused the entire front of the vehicle from the head lamps down to the lowest point of the grill to freeze over covering the sensors of which all became totally useless! I had to gently break the ice from the front of the vehicle each time I stopped for fuel at the half tank mark. I was under the impression that Lexus road tested their vehicles in all types of weather and road conditions. Being that the vehicle is so low to the ground and unless the new models are equipped with a front end defrost system I would advise buyers to run from it! Hopefully, Lexus will do better in the future! The one star rating is only for the stated conditions described above! Thank you, Stanley C. Williams [contact info removed].
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.

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.

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.
