Hello all!

I am planning to get a new 2016 Lexus RC F Sport, but I do not know which one to get.

I test drove both, and they both are truly amazing.

I am torn between the RC-200t vs RC-350 (both F-Sport).
What are your thoughts? I would love hear from the owners of both, thanks!

I was in the same boat as well. I was highly considering custom ordering a RC200-T or go for the RC350. I test drove the RC350 and enjoyed it. I decided to for the RC350 for the extra bit of horsepower. I believe the 200T has a better MPG. So that's another thing to consider depending how much you drive.

I bought my RC 350 F sport 6 months ago so I can only speak for the 6cyl. I love the car, has perfect amount of power and silky smoothness. I came from a super torquey V8 Mustang and although I lost a lot of oomph I appreciate the quiet and smooth power delivery of this V6.

I'm guessing the RC 200 is probably just as smooth but just missing a couple cylinders. I would say you will be happy either way, just a guess.

350. Can't go wrong.

Easy. Jump in a RcF and you would forget both real quick

350 all the way.

I went with the 200t Fsport. Depends on what you are looking for. I went for the gas mileage. I'm averaging between 32 to 35 MPG highway. I drive about 75 miles round trip each day, 95% interstate. You can't go wrong with either, but if you want the MPG and sporty look and feel along with not quite the HP of the 350 go with the 200t.

yea it really just depends on your driving habits, if you drive a lot of highway i would get the 200t

Gas mileage has never been part of my thought process. If I want good gas mileage I would buy a Prius or Corolla or Subaru. I can't imagine driving a 4 cylinder car. RC350 all the way!

lmaoo, old people mentality, the 2.0t is a really good option,

Damn, I don feel old, but OK. Had both fast cars and fast women, they all eventually break your heart, wear you out, or get old and broke down. I'll take the good looks, with a little bit less under the hood for a smooth and easy ride, with the occasional kick in the pants when needed.

Low end power in the 200t is awful, get the 350.

My question is do you guys the think the 200t has a more up-gradable platform...like a subaru or something? Like it may be modded (turbo and all) to become really fast?

I know there really isn't going to be anything like that for the 350 due to its high compression ratio...but was curious about this 200t.

i just really meant function is still important, too. Why waste and pay the more gas if you don't have to ,that was all i meant. And thats honestly really solid life advice you gave thanks.

I just bought my Rc200t fsport in cash and i turned 22 couple months ago. Where I live in florida is only highways so I got the turbo and the dealer was gouging me out for 5k + for the rc 350, can you believe that ****?

no its not , you just don't know how to drive it, TBH its only proper in one driving mode, the car has a hard learning curve to get used to IMO. I think I'm gonna make a customer review video soon cause there are literally none. You got to keep it kinda revving high to do anything with it and that requires being manual and being a pro at switching gears. OP don't listen to this the guy the low end power does suck but if your good at driving the car is fast man.

Sure if you like a slow sports coupe. Kinda defeats the purpose of a sporty car when you're slower than a mid trim civic.
