2020 Lexus RC 350 F SPORT | Should you RWD or AWD?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 вер 2024
- It’s been 5 years already since Lexus added this coupe to its lineup, giving shoppers a small taste of the LFA life for a tenth of the price. But until now, I’ve only experienced the V8-powered F model. So this week I’m in the RC 350; a less ambitious yet still fun-to-drive sports model very much cast in the Lexus mold.
MSRP as-tested: $57,785

RC 350 F Sport with RWD is the way to go. You really only need AWD if you’re in the north
Disagree! 300 RWD turbo is more fun! Especially if you mod it! The turbo sounds NEVER get old! Plus if you tune it and add a throttle controller to reduce turbo lag, it’s actually pretty fast 💨👌
I think an Audi S5 would pull me away from the RC 350... Although, Lexus reliability might talk me back off the Audi ledge.
Audi s5 all the way. Lexus will discontinue this model soon. They tossed the GS sedan series and the interior is like it's from the 20th century. I have a 2012 Audi A7 and zero problems.
I was looking at this in Knoxville Tennessee I didn’t like it. Then I drove it and I didn’t like it very much so searching for a new car in the last month has been a very bad pain in the ass then I test drive the new 2022 Mercedes S class AMG at $160,000 loaded. So now I have to wait to wait 5 months Because I ordered the 2022 Porsche 911 Coming in at 190,000 loaded up nicely It drives so much better than this car. But I did kind of like the convertible Lexus I think that one was $105,000 I Definitely feel that it has a better Suspension in this one. My mother is a Corvette stingray person and she swears by those things she will never be swayed since 1966 she said. My father he Tells me that you can’t beat the BMW eight series that with the car shortage it’s not that bad the way that long to get the 911
Only for used market
There may be a used RC in my future.
There is in mines 💯
Steve, you're like this Lexus. Never wavering from your consistent review style; I like that. Keep up your good work.
I appreciate that!
I will purchase one for the comfort, dependable longevity, the speed of the Audi and Beamer is a concern, plus the service on a RC is much cheaper.
If you get an LSD and RW-steering in the RWD version, that's the no-brainer.
Beautiful review as always Steve, top notch quality. Gorgeous car, but not too sure how I feel about the infotainment screen receded and down low, like it's trying to survive a big wave. A little awkward for me at least.
The AWD version is for people who own a sports car already and want a sporty - esque daily driver, but don’t need the practicality of a sedan such as the IS350.
So...skip all wheel drive.
Because the old men who buy these totally take their $50K coupes to the track.
Another excellent automotive review! A fun coup-eh to drive on the back mountain roads, with all the wheels pulling you out of the corners in a controlled manner. ;)
Thanks again!
Love your videos Steve!
Thanks, Patrick!
He tried with his recent S63 vid...and very few people have watched.
Yellow side trim seats are a nice touch
Looks cool!
I prefer the looks of the RC350 F Sport over the RCF. Personal opinion.
I can't tell a difference haha
@@magmasloth3619 the F model has a huge bulge over the hood/trunk. Hate that.
@@thismanagain ugh i don't see it
@@magmasloth3619 check out the side profile shots.
Great review.
Glad you enjoyed it
The Q60 looks better but you can’t beat Lexus reliability
The new rc350 2020 facelift is better imo. Q60 is nice to. But i never liked the round rear design of infiniti.
The front wheel gap is bothering me, I do love my IS
There is a lower spring option when ordering the car .
Got one
Very nice and accurate review coming from and rc350 f sport owner
Thanks ✌️
Nice car
Still Waiting 4 Mercedes Benz c class 2020 model n Toyota land cruiser too v8 review ..okay
Everyone knows I am a Japan-o-fan and if you don't, we can help
Like Toyota-Lexus, so last year when McMrs and I went on a Tokyo trip we visited the Toyota Museum. Car enthusiasts should go here.
That said: should I rate this shooting brake using the Yakitori Scale or stick with sandwiches?
Slushbox ;-)
@@stevehammes How many cobbles to a slushbox?
the front wheel well is too wide!! thats a deal breaker for me
pause at 1:45 and 1:48
Just buy the Lexus F Sport lowering springs...will drop about an inch.
All this car has going is it's looks and the fact that you know Lexus quality, service and reliability will be on point. If you want an actual driving experience the Germans do it far better.
Good looks, yes....except for the front of this car. Looks like something out of a cartoon. I can see 18-25 year olds loving the front
so what will it be...the Germans or the Lexus?
@@sew9068 The Germans are far better cars. Especially if you aren't keeping them for 10 years.
Throw the LS twin turbo v6 in and maaayybe. 0 to 60 in 6 sec is pathetic in this segment. 4.0 to 4.5 0 to 60 then we can talk
It's a great car if you were shopping for it in the 20th century. I doubt they continue this model especially when they got rid of the GS lineup. They're just way too behind the Germans in infotainment and engine performance.
Only six gears? My Mustang has 10 for crying out loud.
Does it have AWD?
@@davidbach7003 Better...RWD.
Extraordinary coupé car Steve.. Heyy!! But still I prefer the Audi Tt over this one ..
This V6 AWD powertrain is 10 years old, and Lexus just keeps reheating it in the microwave and using it again. It'll be in the "new" IS, which pulls off the amazing trick of being obsolete before it even goes on sale. I keep wanting Lexus to really impress me with something interesting, and they keep failing to do so. The LC is a genuinely cool car, and it'll be probably a great used buy at 5 or 6 years old, when the prospect of a comparable out of warranty BMW 8 series would be frightening. I can't imagine how terrible the infotainment will seem in 2026, though.
My friend wants one of these. I don’t understand why.
🤣

Lexus slogan oughat be: Lexus, we lack balls and we don't give a fuck about our younger customers!
