Welcome to the forum. There are a few other recent threads that address your question, as well as a wealth of information if you take some time to look through the history of this forum. Here is one thread that is on the first page that my help you out on your first question:
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/rc-...n-the-rcf.html
I will say that some of my favorite things about the RCF are the special look both inside and out, the level of quality and detail in my favorite paint colors (I think the white is one of the best whites from any brand), and of course the fact that Lexus stuck with the NA V8.
How comfortable the car is on long road trips is in my opinion very subjective. For instance I am very happy to take my 911 with SPASM and 20's on a road trip, but my wife would say that it is uncomfortable. I would say that any car in this category would be great for a road trip for me, but I do think the RCF would be one of the best. The only thing that hurts the RCF in this category is the fact that it does not have the adjustable suspension that other models have, however the F engineers did a very good job of tuning the suspension for both sport and comfort IMO.
If you are truly interested in purchasing an RCF you are in the right place. I would suggest taking a few hours to browse through the threads, and also do a search for any specific questions you may have. There is a lot to learn about this car, but it is fun, and it is worth it when you finally get to drive one!

Love :
1) You just dont see many on the road, not a BMW. Gets a lot of attention
2) The car is aggressive looking and stylish so i wont get bored of it anytime soon
3) Its comfortable to drive and be in the cabin. Im 6'4 and have no issues at all being in this car for extended periods. I test drove the M3 and couldnt wait to get back in my car.
Hate (dislike is better term since i love my car)
1) It just lacks that extra power when you need it at times
2) A man literally asked me if this was the new Corolla
3) The entertainment system/Nav is frustrating to use, feels outdated, screen is too small (should be the size of the GS or RX screen)

Love:
1) Exclusivity - I've only seen 2 other RCFs on the road since they came out and I'm in Miami.
2) Aggressive Styling - I absolutely love the aggressive/sleek lines of this sexy beast
3) Performance - To date this is the fastest/most powerful car I've owned and it puts a smile on my face everyday.
Dislike:
1) NAV Screen - It's just way too small, coming from a '13 GS350 F-Sport and being used to a 13" screen makes this one feel tiny.
2) Ventilated/Heated Seats - They don't cool efficiently when needed 90% of the time, and the heated function barely heats them up (for those 2 nights a year that it's cold in Miami
)
3) No Easy Enter/Exit - I loved the feature in my GS that would move the seat back and steering wheel up when the car was turned off and vice versa when it was turned on to allow easy entry and exit into the vehicle. In the RCF the steering wheel still goes up but the seat doesn't move. I know I'm lazy, but this is a simple option that should be in a $75k luxury car IMO.
Overall I love this car and it puts a smile on my face everyday!

The RC-F no longer evokes emotion in me when I drive it. I was at the local Chrysler / Jeep dealer getting my wife's Jeep serviced. I fell in love with the looks and roar of new Hellcat they had just taken deliver of. It scared the crap out of me so I may just have to trade.

I set memory seat setting #3 to move the seat all the way back and steering wheel up to exit. Just one push before I shut off the car
