    I guess my all wheel drive RC 350 must be the only one with paddle shifters

    The interior is gorgeous! Is that the Gray one or the Playa one that Lexus called?

    Would kindly correct you Mr. Gadget, the Lexus RC 350 F-Sport AWD still has "paddle shifters".

    What is the point of this car...if it is not sporty and fast enough like the m4..i know it is premium but in this segment we look wich is more sporty and faster

    • @RobinsM

      mohamed mounes Thats was the RC-F is for. Sadly it still cant perform as well as an M4 even though it has more power and they made it to beat the M4.. The top gear review of the RC-F and M4 probably just killed sales after everyone saw how the M4 destroyed it in a race.

    • @momounes338
      @momounes338 9 років тому

      Yeah thatched write...I think m4 is the best in its segment maybe better than the new Cadillac ats-v too...but I love the new cts-v it is insane :D

      Ruben I got see that. But to your point, this car is not meant to compete against the M4 - the RC-F is. I've driven both, though a year in between, so it's hard for me to say which is better and for what reason. And while the M4 might have spanked the RC-F, that doesn't necessarily make it the best car. Just a better car for the track. Everyday driving and comfort is factor. Though I'd think the M4 would win in the latter, as the RC-F is on the set springs.

      ***** That would be awesome to see a comparison video from you. Yeah thats true. What i was thinking it doesn't really matter who's the best on the track, because its going to be a daily driver and most people wont use it to near its capabilities on the streets.

      I know this reply if years after you comment but I don''t think this was meant to compete with the M4, more with the 428 or 435 as well as the A4 or A5. I recently shopped to replace my old 325i with the plan of buying a 2015 4 series BMW. I drove a few and they were excellent but a little too civilized and like I was still in a sedan. I tried a similar level Infiniti sedan and a Mercedes. Then I drove a 2015 RC 350 AWD (not even an F-Sport) and it felt much more sporty and aggressive, both in its performance and its cockpit feel. That particular one had too much mileage and no F Sport so i kept shopping. I eventually got a beautiful AWD F Sport with low mileage. Other than being a little heavy it is a fantastic driving experience. And even the extra weight isn't too bad. It feels planted more than ungainly. Of course lighter is better but there is "disappointing heavy" and "terrible heavy", this is more disappointing. It is fast enough to get you in trouble and exciting but controlled when you hit corners hard. Then when you are stuck on a straight it is incredibly comfortable and luxurious.
      I find it frustrating that in many of these video reviews you can see that they are leaving the 350 in automatic and in normal drive mode and then complaining that it doesn't feel sporty enough. I rarely leave Sport+ mode (don't know why they didn't call that F-Sport Mode) and paddle shift and it is great. The shifting is also dynamic. So if you are only half on the accelerator the shift happens slowly and gently but if you are punching it the shifts come much quicker.
      I will also admit that I like that this looks much less "sedanish" than the BMWs or Audis. And the fact that it didn't sell in huge numbers is also nice. since where I live you see a lot of Audis and even far more BMWs. This car really stands out. It also looks small from the outside but is roomier on the inside, a nice magic trick.

    He didn't put anything the week after. He should review trucks too. Show the power they have, recommend the Dodge Ram 15/2500 Laramie or Laramie longhorn edition. You've done a great job so far so keep going, good luck

      Luis Merida-Prado Thanks! I'd like to do more, it's just a "bandwidth" thing - not enough man power and time in the day. If we could get more subs, and more views, I might be able to hire another team and shoot more cars. But alas, UA-cam doesn't reward based on content quality but more about views. They're incentivized to show the videos that get the views.

    The only problem with that car is its price, it's way overpriced, I'm sorry Lexus but I'm not paying over $40k for a Toyota engine
