Good for BAD Weather? - 2021 Lexus RC 350 F SPORT AWD Review

[@24bergman]

The interior reminds me of the 1st generation Sc300, very refined. Nice test drive.

[@AutoAcademics]

Thanks for watching, Mitch B!

[@deemm1265]

Nicely done, a great review with focus on daily drivers and consumers. Unlike the track geeks who only test drive for the numbers on paper. Plus, the lower cost of ownership/maintenance of Lexus is another great attribute.

[@AutoAcademics]

We appreciate your kind words, Deem M. Thanks for watching!

Here in New York City I would have to special order a rear-wheel-drive version of his car, it is beautiful. Great video

[@AutoAcademics]

Thanks for watching, John Holmes!

[@jax1079]

That video quality looking sharp! Did you get yourself an upgrade? Awesome review!

[@AutoAcademics]

Sure did! Finally got a real camera. LOL Now I just have to learn how to use it.

[@toddwatkins9666]

AWD is DEFINITELY needed in my neck of the woods….HOWEVER…rear wheel drive ALL DAY for me!!!! Lol

[@AutoAcademics]

That's how I feel, Todd Watkins. I prefer RWD, but AWD is definitely useful. I wouldn't buy an SUV/crossover without it. Thanks for watching!

[@The_Notorious_CRG]

What a great job again Chris! You have not missed a beat my friend. Glad to see you are still making those vids. That Lexus has aged well, I hope that a next generation is coming.

[@AutoAcademics]

I'm coming along, The_Notorious_9. Thanks!

[@daivietnguyen7289]

I am always a fan of AWD….But the Porsche 911 will suite my personality a little better !!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Toyota/Lexus, you are always in my heart ❤️ !!! 👍👍👍

[@AutoAcademics]

Get a 911 with AWD and you have the best of all worlds. 😉

[@zureai]

Until you gotta go repair and maintain the 911, you'll be calling Lexus' name

[@tovarisch3039]

Amazing review as always

[@AutoAcademics]

I appreciate you! Thanks for watching!

[@baldheadlogic]

AWD on a rear drive car makes sense if you live somewhere that gets rain on the regular and certainly winter weather

[@AutoAcademics]

I agree, canonlybeme4life. Thanks for watching!

[@AlaskanSnowLeopard]

Although FWD bias AWD are superior in inclement weathers compared to RWD bias, but having AWD is still better than nothing. Always make sure to have dedicated winter tires. How I know? I driven both different setup before in Alaska, and they both are day and night different when the roads are slippery.

[@AutoAcademics]

@@AlaskanSnowLeopard Very true, Hybrids Vader. The right tire is most important. Thanks for watching!

[@edmonster01]

This is the car for looking good NOT going fast. Perfect married couples date night car.

[@AutoAcademics]

Totally agree, Edmonster01. Thanks for watching!

Mr Han: Mr. Williams your RC 350 F Sport is under powered. You'll have to learn to accept defeat. Mr Williams: When it comes I won't even notice. Mr Han: How so? Mr Williams: I'll be too busy lookin' good.

[@AutoAcademics]

Ha! Plus, you'll want to drive slow anyway so people will see you. 😉 Thanks for watching, Gregory Watts!

[@cedmc6711]

Nice!

[@AutoAcademics]

That color was beautiful, Kurt Lewis. It had so much depth that didn't come across on video. Thanks for watching!

I have a 2020 RC350 fsport RWD in Caviar. When the sun hits it those flakes in the paint sparkle like stars!!
