Ok, so let me say there are a lot of choices in this type of car category, however, if you are looking for something that has "Snap your Head Back performance', excellent build quality, and an interior that reflects an attention to detail , this is going to be a car you should take a close look at. Better yet, take it for a drive, you will be suitably impressed. Before purchasing this car, I owned my first Lexus, an RC 350 F Sport, a nice car no doubt. However, while the RC -350 is nice, the six cylinder just did not do it for me. I looked at the M4 and then Came back to Look at the RC-F. Yes, the M-4 is a nice car and has a lot going for it , however, so did the RC-F. While the RC-F is heavier, there were four things which won the day. The first is the V-8. When you fire this up in the morning you know you are riding a rocket as this baby really rumbles to life. The second thing that is really attractive, is the over all design and lines to this vehicle. I see all kinds of BMW's and the body shape and size all looks very similar, not the RC-F, this has a very distinctive look to it. Third, is the interior and seating. The attention to detail in this interior is flawless, something I think Lexus has dialed in. Finally let me say the overall performance of this car is truly breath taking. Dial; this in to Sport + mode and its ready to rip. Now I will never take this on a track, but lets just say when you put your foot into it, the rocket ship takes off. Are there faster cars out there. Yes, no doubt and while you could look at any one thing and say its no big deal, I think when you put them all together they made a compelling reason for me to purchase the RC-F. Okay, as with all things there are some things I don't like, or, feel they could be drastically improved on. The first is the Navi Screen. I would like to see a bigger one . The M-4's Navi looked nicer. The other thing I would like to see improved is a faster shifting transmission. No doubt when you are in Sport plus mode this does does shift faster, however in my opinion it could be improved upon, nevertheless to me this was not a deal breaker. I think at the end of the day the RC-F delivers performance and quality. for me, whats not to like? Up-Date: 11/2017 Let me just make a brief update. I have had this car for just about two years. First let me say, I have had Zero Problems mechanically with this car. Taking it on long distance trips I have gotten 28 miles to the gallon. Do not miss understand , I did not buy this car for the mileage aspect, however, if you keep your foot out of it, the mileage can be very respectable. The hard part is keeping your foot off the accelerator. Let me also mention, Lexus did a software up date on the Transmission last year. It now shifts faster and is better at anticipating how you drive. Let's be clear, its not a dual clutch tranny so don't expect that, nevertheless, its still a thrill ride. Okay, so let me sum this update up. I like this car a lot and would not hesitate to buy another one. I am not a gran Prix driver, but like the acceleration and fine handling characteristics. This is a fun car to own and drive with zero, or minimal problems.

2016 RCF - reliable, comfortable, qualilty, V8

Back seat is small. We don't use it much. I traded in a 911 Turbo. RCF not as visceral, but more comfortable, significantly higher quality, and absolutely no problems. Porsche had lots of niggling problems; Porsche service was PIA - waited over a week for service on multiple occasions. This is our 9th Lexus, the cars never break/give problems. The car is chunky though - 3958 lbs. Heavy vs competition. Mileage has been a pleasant surprise - over 18 in city and 27 or 28 on highway. Levinson sound is great. Balanced handling, smooth progression when pushed - easy to drive fast. Like spoiler deployment. Seats are awesome. Wish it had power folding mirrors. Nice exhaust sound. Steering wheel is "just right" - paddle shifters easy to access and high quality. Engine block is blue - looks cool.

RC F--Exceptional Balance of Luxury and Performanc

Are you looking for a masterpiece V8 in a singular design with exceptional handling, acceleration, and curb appeal? This is my second F, the first being the IS F. This is a world-class machine with exceptional handling and performance. The car will run head-to-head with the M4 and defeat the RS5. If you are looking for a car that will run 4.3 0-60 mph runs all day and climb to 176 mph in 40 seconds, this is the ride. Road & Track's Motown Mile had the RC F beating the M4 and RS5. The Motortrend Head-to-Head on the Streets of Willow had the M4 and RC F finishing in a near dead heat with Randy Pobst driving. The RC F will destroy most tracks, if that is your thing, but most of us will drive it 363 days per year to the office and 2 days per year on a track. And if you just want a daily driver with a huge fun factor, this too is your ride. The RC F carbon TVD is a virtual slot car on hairpin corners and is faster than the Torsen, but either car will deliver the thrills and luxury. I unequivocally recommend the new RC F to any driving enthusiast!

1 year of RC-F ownership - it's amazing!

I've owned my RC-F for about a year now and I've tracked it a few times and it's also my daily driver. First, daily driving impressions: When you start it up cold, it sounds like you would expect a muscle car V8 to sound. AMAZING. Not like "annoy your neighbors" loud, but just right. If this car does not put a smile on your face when you start it, you're already dead and can't possibly be reading this. As a daily driver, the car is stiff. If you drive on rough roads, it might get old. But I will say that I have grown to love the stiffness of it - and the seats are even more important than the suspension. The seats in this car are so amazing that even all day drives in the seat will leave you feeling great. They are truly a work of art - I would drive this car across the country without hesitation. In keeping with Lexus tradition, the car is exceptionally refined, with great fit/finish and excellent materials throughout. Track impressions and spirited mountain road driving: A lot is made of this car's weight, but let me tell you: this car is exceptionally balanced and it is absolutely track ready. I've got 3 separate track days under my belt, some of which in mid 80 degree weather - the car never gets too hot, the brakes never die on you and you simply drive it home when you're done. This car will hang with all but the fastest of sports cars. On twisty mountain roads, you simply can't approach the car's limits. Braking, shifting, steering feel are all excellent; plus you get the amazing (and now, RARE) sound of a naturally aspirated 5.0 V8 roaring when you press the skinny pedal. If you can find another naturally aspirated V8 GT luxury coupe, buy it! Just kidding, you won't, because there are literally no other choices. This car is special . - Last, and this bears mentioning, this car will GET ATTENTION. If you spend $150k on a Porsche 911, no one will look twice at you. If you spend $100k plus on a Tesla, people will casually comment on your nice car. But if you pull up in a Lexus RC-F, jaws hit the floor and everyone wants to talk to you about it. This car is the real deal.

At this price point, with RC F you are committing to a prior generation set up - heavy / thirsty v8, less torque, infotainment with touch pad...etc. You can walk to BMW and grab M3/M4 latest flashy tech, turbo engines with better gas mileage that puts much more torque and similar horses with V6. But you are somebody you passed that stage of your life experience. You don't want push push push driving, you want details. You want to touch things and don't feel short cuts. You want something looks like a sport car, something unique, not volume leaders with heavy make up (German sport sedans). You compromise flashy tech because you did not grown up with iPads in your face, you grown up admiring the speedometer. You value long term reliability because you don't like to waste money and time at dealerships. You value good sound system or/and good sounding engine. You want to be the dark horse, not puppy with turbos. This car is for you. Ignore the you tubers, reviewers, flash boys. I am mid 40s, don't risk my life speeding in public roads and don't race. I enjoy every moment of this car. I even like the touch pad. For the size and weight, it handles as good as AWDs - mine has torque vectoring and carbon packages. It accelerates as fast as you need. It screams attention to details and quality. It is a steal at this price. And for reference, I am coming in the order of VW-BMW-Acura and my wife drives Alfa Romeo Giulia QV. Bottom line, you can't go wrong with Lexus!

This car is a balance between luxury and performance. For those people looking for straight luxury or straight performance this is not for you. I own a Lexus LS and a Porsche Carrera 4. The RC F fits somewhere in the middle. I am very happy with car.

I’ve owned a 2006 Porsche carrera S, a 2014 Audi RS5 and driven BMWs including M3s and M6s. This car is an amazing machine second to none of those. Sure it is a few tenths of a second slower than an M4 or a new rs5 or Mercedes c63 amg. But this car is fast, it’s absolutely Georgeous and is a statement maker. This car is a quality built rocket that is an amazing daily driver. I get more compliments on this car than any other car I have owned. I don’t worry about putting miles on it and when it is out of warranty I am planning to tune it with a simple super charger which will put this car in the 700+ horse power realm. I’m a health professional with limited space in my garage. If you are like me, a single car owner , the RCF is the best car outthere for you. Period!!!

Lexus did well with their "racing coupe". The sheet metal has a flowing sexy shape that doesn't look like other cars on the road. Aside from the unique styling cues, the engine sounds as awesome as it performs. The technology inside is overflowing from the infotainment system to the instrument cluster that changes from Economy- Normal - Sport - Sport + (or "beast mode"). Who knew that Lexus had an aggressive side?

Lexus got it right it with this coupe. Almost 500 HPs and all the creature comforts one can dream about. The interior is spectacular with outstanding fit and finish. Plenty of cargo space. Cool style on the exterior. It is the perfect everyday drive. I get excited everytime I start it.

While this car may not have the ''status symbol'' of its German rivals in the snobs view, it trumps them BIG TIME in one area that IMHO is very important; and that is reliability. Also, personnaly, I find that the so called status symbol is over rated and the high end Japanese brands after 30 years on the market are right up there with the ''status symbol's''.

I love my RCF. It is the most comfortable car I’ve ever owned. Feels solid and has the reliability of Toyota/Lexus. The stereo is amazing. The engine rocks. I think in 10 years I’ll still be driving this beauty cause it’s a beast. My 22 y/o daughter asks if she can drive it all the time (she drives a WRX). And lastly, there just aren’t that many on the road. It stands out.

I've had the 2015 for a month, and every time I drive it I fall in love with another feature or come to enjoy more deeply the sheer performance. She's a rocket for sure, with a certain set of balls that tells those at the valet station you have arrived. I've owned a MB SL550, the BMW 3M, and this is better all the way around.

Style, Curb appeal, Great stance, Beefy engine, Beautiful Lexus interior, great mix of sport and luxury inside and out, Daily driving just as good as highway performance, Sport S & Sport S+ drive modes turn the car into a track car, incredibly reliable, I've had many cars, BMW, Benz, Acura, etc...by far surpasses them all in all categories...It's one flaw, it's not a family car..But you know that when you're buying it...LOL

V8 power, luxurious modern interior, comfortable ride, eye catching exterior and sounds muscular, can you ask for more? I have owned this car for almost a month now and I can say I made the right decision buying those over the M4 and the C63. I probably saved 10K while getting 9/10 of what the other cars has to offer. If you track your car, get the performance package which will reward you with a torque vectoring differential and carbon parts. I do not track my cars so, I went with a base package loaded to the gills. I came from a 2015 Audi S5 which was an excellent car but it did not really induce the smile I get from the beastly V8 in the F. Traded the car in almost 3 years ago for an F80 M3 for the four doors. Will I return to Lexus? I doubt it as the BMW checks all my boxes and more. I don’t have the RC-F anymore. Traded for an F80 M3 in 2018. I am now in a 2022 M4 Competition Xdrive.

No unexpected repairs, sounds amazing, looks different and sexier than most competitors on the market. Rare as I haven't seen one in two years. Excellent in winter driving. Only issue is the infotainment system which u can easily upgrade using a aftermarket unit. Sounds amazing inside out with just a muffler delete. What else I need. Owner from last three years. No plans of selling it in near future. Love this beast

Purchased a little over a week ago and drove it home almost 900 miles. This car the best of both worlds. It can be a nice commuter with decent gas mileage in Eco mode or flip it over to Sport+ and let it rip. The car sounds like a beast once above 3.5k rpms and is intoxicating. No, it isn't the fastest or most nimble but for spirited weekend drives through the twisties, it will more than suffice. Interior is excellent quality (as expected from Lexus), however, the fact that they all come with a CD player (even 2024's) is laughable. Lots of people knock the track pad but after a couple days of using it you get used to it and it is not bad at all. I got mine in the infrared color and get compliments and looks everywhere I go. I can't speak for reliability but as mentioned, I drove it home almost 900 miles and it ran like new. Being Toyota based, I really don't expect much to go wrong though. Really enjoying this car so much more than the corvette it replaced.
