So my previous budget was hovering right around 40-41K (35,000Miles) for a 2013 ISF. I noticed that the RCF on the auction can be grabbed for 45-46K (30,000 Miles)

I figured this would be a good place to ask since I assume some of you guys came from the ISF. HELP ME DECIDE I like both cars but wanted to get some responses from people who have tried out both.

So is it worth going for the RCF over the ISF?


Thanks

RCF!

Unless you drive around passengers a lot.

Don't get either one. They've probably been raced and the repair bills will bankrupt you.

Buy a high mileage Honda for 5k and drive it for three years. With the money you save, you can afford a nearly new one.

RCF for sure test drive them both.

Forget Honda, and Lexus just buy Ford Focus instead

Both are great cars. It depends on what your preference/needs are but I say RC F unless you require four doors.

Since you are considering RCF, that means you don't desperately need 4 doors. Spend a little extra and go with RCF. Better updated modern looks, better tech, more power, better interior...

if you are worried about warranty, buy extended when factory is up.

Never thought about this one. Might have to invest into a pimped out Honda Odyssey

No Way, now days Everybody knows the Prius is IN! Go RCF, but i'm pretty sure if you go to the ISF site they'll give you a different response. Like someone else said, if you need 4 doors you mite want to consider the ISF, other than that i don't see the issue.

are you talking the black on black with Vin ending in 439 starting at $47,900 with 30k miles on Manheim? You can get into another $5k quick for brakes, tires, service and then ship . . .

More of the same... Get the RC F for the modern styling and more bells and whistles like rear active spoiler, TVD, and CF package.

IS F if you need four doors.

THE RC F and ISF are night and day--don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

I owned the 2012 ISF for nearly 3 years. It's a great, but the RC F carbon TVD--my reference--is a different breed. It's quicker, faster, and better handling. No other car in its class comes out of high speed corners the way it does.

The driver experience is superior, and the design is amazing. The IS F was a second thought: the RC F was the focus from day one.

The engine...soon to be a glimpse of the past...is a masterpiece of engineering.

That's a tough choice to be honest. I love both cars too.

I would take the IS-F. My friend has a 2013 IS-F with a lip kit on it and it looks amazing.

RCF if you're in to modding. A lot more aftermarket parts

If two vs. four doors still leaves you in a lurch, try and drive both to see which one floats your boat. As one's in an auction, perhaps a dealership in your area has one you could test drive. Consider the size of the aftermarket as well if you're considering going that route. The IS-F will be shrinking (production stopped in 2014) while the RC-F will be growing.

Make sure you get the full history on both vehicles before purchasing so that you don't end up with costly surprises. They're both Toyota reliability and Lexus quality but that doesn't mean someone previously didn't beat the car up. Just some food for thought that may help
