Default RC350 review

Hey guys,

I recently got a chance to drive around in an rc350 so I figured I’d make a short review video. After driving it I may actually be buying one. Currently looking for a black exterior with red leather. Anyways, hope you like it.

I think you’re demographic review is off, almost anyone can buy one of these, and yes we do bag them and put coilovers, almost everyone in this forum is lowered with aftermarket wheels.

I don't know about the "radical" stuff. I just consider it to be a "gentleman's hot-rod"
Plenty fast/quick, handles well, ride is very good, mileage, I can live with. Reliability,
second to none, looks, I like it, so. Mine is a 2015 AWD Fsport and is my daily driver.
Converted? as KJFS stated, yes, hooked?, yes. I really do like this car. Fits me almost like
it was custom made for me.

Just to add to the mix. I really don't give 2 ****s about most reviews I see about the RC.
"it's not fast enough, the zero-60 times are blah blah, it's too heavy, the style is dated..."
All of the other crap they want to throw in there. The RC is cool, fast enough, looks
really badass, get good millage, and whatever else they can throw in there. I don't care.
The ride, the reliability, the uniqueness of it. I love mine, that's what you go to sleep on,
everyday. Period.

Just got mine yesterday - 17 RC350 F-sport, black exterior on red interior with ML audio.

Compared to my previous 17 IS 300 F-sport AWD (tuned + mods)?
One word = BETTER.
Explanation: I feel like I got a "real" Lexus quality car now.

My 15 is also black with red interior AWD, and with ML sound.
Very cool.

My RC is red/tan, but I've seen them in black with the red interior, and that is a spectacular look, which should age very well.

No I didn't got them. It would really be awesome if it came with them.

It seems like it's one of the more 'rare' features on this particular car.

Not quite sure if they came as an option for 2017. Those are really nice looking headlights.

I hear you. I thought it was an option but don't quote me on that. I know it was an option on my '16.
