Looks awesome. Love that chin spoiler. Really flows so well with the rest of the car. Wish I could get that for mine.

Is that a factory front splitter? Looking for one to add to my 2015.

^^^ That is factory for the 2020+ RCF but, I don't think this will retrofit to the 2015 bumper as there are a lot of different little nuances in the shape that would prevent proper fitment.

Made the jump after nearly 20 years of Infiniti & Nissan cars. Got a lot to learn.

Here's Misty:
2015 RC F
Nubula Grey
Black Leather
Premium
Nav w/ ML
Performance Package
All-weather Package (that heated steering wheel was nice this morning)

Only has 23,000 miles, I plan on enjoying this car so that will rapidly increase.

Told wife I plan to "only" change the exhaust and maybe lower it.

Nice! San Antonio by chance? Know anyone (in your area) in the market for one? I'll be selling a fully loaded 2017, black, with warranty-friendly aftermarket and only 14K miles. Very soon.

Thumbs up "New" RCF 2015 and first impressions




Hi there,
Wanted to introduce my recently purchased 2015 RCF as a new member of the forum. Got it certified with 8000 miles on the ODO, May 2015 build. Car has all standard options with added sunroof, polished wheels, metallic paint. No TVD or carbon options. I also asked a dealer to installed a set of winter Pirelli Sottozeros to cope with cold and wet/snow over the winter, but have no intentions to venture into deep stuff. For winter travel we use Macan. I bought RCF as my personal daily.. When I lived in the US, we owned several Lexus models (RX300, RX350, LS430) and all were very satisfying cars-LS430 was my favorite. I have a lot of experience with Porsches as well, as I owned and drove daily several Porsche 911 models (base Carrera 997 6-speed, Turbo S 997.2 and Turbo S 991.2) and Panamera GTS with NA V8 engine. While I never owned any specific model for more than 2 years, they were mostly trouble free, except all 911s will experience bad ignition coils at 30k miles (should be a maintenance item, but it is not-could be major inconvenience), while Panamera GTS was a mixed bag with respect to quality. It was nice to drive, awesome traction in snow with AWD setup, but RCF pulls stronger once it wakes up past 5000 rpm. Our Macan is Diesel (yes, the notorious 3.0 TDI), but is a perfect engine for the car-good torque and gas milleage. I bought RCF for comfort, quality and power when needed. I'm actually pleasantly surprised how good the suspension is, the car feels planted. Despite all the criticism about transmission and Navi setup, I don't really have a problem with them and in my opinion, they provide what is needed for daily use. Of course, the Navi and PDK in Porsches are different and better (more sophisticated), if your intention is to fiddle with the buttons all the time. In case of RCF, transmission is best to be left alone and then it performs as it should, while Navi and Menu options can be setup ahead of time and then you can focus on the road. I agree that Navi is not as user friendly with a track pad as it could be, but my experience with laptops helps, however it could be more problematic for a lot of folks out there. It is still too early to render a final verdict, but I sense, this car will grow on me. It looks very distinct, not a daily occurrence on the roads where I live and provides some counterbalance against all the Audis, BMWs and Benzes that people drive around here (including the cab drivers).

Best from Basel,
Lucian
