  • A Toyota Master Diagnostic Technician reviews the Lexus LC500 which a Total Hidden Gem.
    In this video we look at the awesome 2022 Lexus LC500 which happens to be my of my favorite Lexus models out there.
    This car is a total hidden gem that no one really talks about or considers. It is one of the few cars out there that does two opposite things very well.
    On the one hand it is a very good sports car that makes a lot of power, handles very well and is very fun to drive. And on the other hand it is a comfortable smooth GT car.
    In this video we'll do a full review of the 2022 Lexus LC500. We'll first cover the technical side of things. Then we'll look at the interior, exterior, take it for a test drive and talk about some things that are not good.

    This guy likes the car and having owned my 2018 for almost four years, so do I. The couple of gripes he has boggled my mind. The steering column cover? I would have never thought that in a million years. The transmission for him wasn't to his liking. For me, it's sensational and has been the entire time I've been driving the car. This car is not expensive at all. In fact, it's way under-priced. It should sell in the $300k range, especially when you consider it's so much nicer than an Aston-Martin and will never leave you stranded by the side of the road waiting for a tow truck. The LC 500 is as close to a perfect car as there has ever been. It excels in every category that a mature human being would be concerned with. No, it isn't a race car but it is very fast. If you want something that will do 0-60 in 1.8 seconds, don't buy this car. You're an idiot and you should buy what other idiots buy. Idiots don't buy a Lexus. Go get that Ferrari or Lambo or some other hunk of junk that will cost $50,000 in repairs in the first 30,000 miles. Have fun with that! In the meantime, if you doubt me...then go check out an LC 500 for yourself. Once you do that, you will understand.

      Its in its 7th year of production this year, n those production rate isnt about to change any time soon.

    I've got a 2018 and still love the car. After four years, it's as nice now as it was back then. As for the transmission, mine works perfectly. It's a gem. What I do know is "reviewers" for the most part are too lazy to read the Owner's Manual and become familiar with the software. The LC 500 is programmable and has several driving modes including "CUSTOM". You can also set the "rev limiter" to your own preference. The paddle shifters work fantastic. Drive mode works best for me because I don't like to pretend I'm a hot shot race car driver but on those rare occasions when Manual is more fun, the paddle shifters work as they should. No offense, but you should read and learn the software. These are the finest cars on the market today without exception.

      20:27 Perhaps its because i ride motorcycles and I'm very connected to mechanical things. The transmission is a torque converter, and you can feel it, its hard to explain but you need to let it do its thing. Driving slow you have to feel it in the peddle and allow the mechanical nature do its thing. That sounds etherial but the same applies for dual clutch but in a diff way. They operate uniquely and you need to adapt to them. Not the other way around. You are the human they are the machine and they don't adapt. Thats your job.

      The best investments are ones you can enjoy and not create a liability.... on a side note.... I've drove over 100 thousand miles in the last 3 years and I've never seen a Lexus LS500 on the road...... but I have seen McClarens and High end Porsches and Ferrraris and Lamborghinis even a Urus... ;-) (I'm out in the western US) So it boils down to personal taste... so I you have an affinity for old corvettes?? then that might be a better investment??

    The intake valve control is used to turn the engine into a Atkinson cycle (used in Hybrids for fuel economy - does reduce power output. It is LIVC - 'late intake valve closing' which allow the car to get over 30 mph at highway speeds even if the EPA highway rating is only 26 mpg) At highway speed the car doesn't need a lot of power to maintain highway speeds but if you do want power the iCVT system instantly revert to normal performace timing,

For those in the know, this is the best car on the road. The engineering is amazing. People say Corvettes are faster but Corvettes are a different animal. The LC is a grand tourer & it’s very rare.
    There were almost 58,000 c8 corvettes produced in 2023. They are a dime a dozen. Only about 1,300 LC’s were made. Much more exclusive. I prefer to be different & not follow the crowd. This will be my forever car

    That car is definitely going to double in value! I think there so cheap right now because there’s not really a market for a big coupe. If you think about it the only people who might buy an lc500 are usually older and retired. That is a criminally under rated car and I think it will definitely see some appreciation from the car community in the future.

    11:20 Hey AMD! Carbon fiber reinforced plastic is a generic term for all carbon fiber composites. Carbon fiber composites are made of two components, the carbon fiber and the resin (plastic) matrix. The carbon fiber they used here is more specifically known as discontinuous carbon fiber reinforced plastic because it uses discontinuous (chopped) tows of carbon fiber instead of continuous tows like you see with "twill" weave. It is every bit as strong as continuous carbon fiber, but it enables easier manufacturing as well as more complex geometry. It's not a knock off of carbon fiber at all! 😄

    19:30 That is not completely accurate. I'm a long term owner (over 4 years). When in manual mode, it only auto upshifts from 1st to second, then you can bounce off the rev limiter all you want :) The low speed clunkiness is part of the car's learning curve. Over the first year of use, it learned how I like to drive and shift and the clunk has drastically reduced ;) I've also done multiple over 8 hours of continuous driving and have not had any issues with the seats. The comfort depends on your body type I guess :) Great review from you as always!
