RCF issues?
Hello,
I'm currently on my 2nd 4GS 350 F-sport with my lease expiring in November - I am either going to get a new RX350 F sport or go to the dark side with an RCF.
Any notable/common problems I should know about with the RCF?
Also, how is interior wind noise? My first 4GS had front passenger side wind noise, and my second 4GS has driver side wind noise - and I know wind noise for Lexus is not entirely uncommon.
Also, how are the interiors holding up? Any squeaks or rattles? My GS has squeaky front doors and also rear passenger side as well.
thanks.

Again asking the same thing, most people don't post how well the car is running just like most people don't call support if everything is going well.
I am at 10k miles in 10 months with 0 issues, I redline it daily as well.

I currently have a 2013 GS350 F-Sport and a 2015 RCF and the quality on the RCF is soooo much better. Much less wind noise on the RCF than on my GS (I have front driver wind noise) and less rattles too.
Only problem I have now is gas mileage because i can't help but drive it like a bat out of hell lol. (15-16 mpg avg. )

4,100 kms on the clock with zero issues. I'm probably still considered a "baby". Coming from an ISF, the car is a LOT more quiet and luxurious. Apart from the stiffer suspension, it feels like a proper luxury car. Interior is a big step up from the previous gen (as expected).

only 2200 miles zero issues except hating to get out of it when I get where I am going. More than any other car I have had I truly look forward to driving it

A few owners have had the fuel pump and stuck rear wing issues as the most common issues.

define wind noise?
all vehicles have wind noise when the front windows are down, the air buffets into the interior of the vehicle and has no escape.
In a sedan cracking the rear windows eliminates this issue, because now there is an escape.
in a coupe you don't have this option, some coupes are designed where the windows/doors are large enough that the airflow goes behind the drivers seat gets caught up in the rear seat and you don't get that much noise, but most coupes, the RCF included, the door ends at the seat so the wind gets caught up in the front of the cabin, not the rear.
The RCF is very quiet when the windows are up, my wife has even made mention of how quiet the interior is with the car sealed.
but open up the sun roof or windows and yeah it's noisy as hell.
oh yeah and 5,200 miles and the only issue I have is the squealing brakes, but it doesn't bother me at this point.

Only issue with mine is the breaks. I don't care what anybody else says...IN MY OPINION they sound like absolute crap. People have told me that I'm over exaggerating or that its "normal" for high performance breaks. I don't buy any of that. Somebody that spends $70-$80k on a car shouldn't have breaks that sound like they are off a 1985 bronco. It's absolutely embarrassing most times. I've had the pads changed to the ones lexus specifies on the TSB, but they're just as bad as the OEM pads. The only difference is the dust.
I've read that Lexus even bought back an RCF because of the break noise...im almost to that point. Other than that, absolutely love the car.
