Lexus RC is a coupe based on the IS. RC was supposed to replace the mighty IS-F. IS-F is my favourite Lexus of all times. In the world of downsizing and speed cameras a normally aspirated V8 under the bonnet is a real treat. I can’t recall another car, which would drift so easily. But you can have Lexus RC with a V8 as well, and as Ben Collins proved to me, Lexus RC-F is still easy-peasy to drift, even if it weighs around 1800 kg. That’s Renault Espace and Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Coupe territory. BMW M4 is about 200 kg lighter.

Absolutely gorgeous car! I wouldn't change a thing on it!

[@pitekwaw]

Wolę oglądać po angielsku ;) Twoje poczucie humoru idealnie do mnie trafia, świetny film! Czekam z niecierpliwością na więcej.

[@davos86]

I think we have a somewhat sluggish and heavy reviewer who's intent was to give this car a bad review from the start. Horrible review of this car. You are obviously biased as you mention BMW many, many times. This is a gorgeous car that drives like dream. You want to talk about outdated interior? Look inside any BMW and you would think you were back in 1985.

[@MarekDrives]

I think we have a viewer, who somewhat lacks sense of humor.

[@boboutelama5748]

There is a global brainwashing going on in this matter. Reviewers and also car enthousiasts are obsessed with BMW and Audi. He's not the only one doing this mistake and he just mentionned "the names of evil", 8 times... that is, compaired to his collegues, not a lot. I remember to have seen french reviewers having"Mercedes and BMW" mentionned every 30 seconds. Their marketing capaign sure have worked.

[@djmgerardu]

I just got one. And have to say I got out of my beloved 2015 mustang ecoboost, and this is an upgrade in many ways !! The interior is stunning. The handling incredible. The build quality tremendous. The only things I miss is some power and a few bells and whistles. It’s more expensive but you see and feel what you pay for

[@boboutelama5748]

I find the Lexus RC perfect in many ways. Huge trunk, the basics engine are frugal and give a decent performance, the styling is pure Mecha inspired, what will make them great for Itasha projects. They are comfy and sharp in the same time. And we didn't spoke about the RCF, that is a really uncommon car nowadays. The RC makes me smile, and it's a good successor, with 21 century genes, of the Supra and the Hachiroku.

[@raindropraindrop]

The way you present this car is amazing!

[@reggyforest5299]

this is the most reliable sport car, does not brake your pocket compare to BMW, Audi, Benz, and yes speed limit in Florida is still 75 so what's the problem , I luv mine v8 beast

[@mro025]

You have the V8 or the 4 cyl turbo?

[@SAYZLEE]

For the moneys worth, the RC 200t is probably best. You don’t sacrifice too much performance or aesthetics for a reliable and unique vehicle. Now that I think about it, I RARELY see this vehicle for resale. I’m assuming that must be a good thing if owners don’t want to part with them.

[@MarekDrives]

Have you seen many in the first place?

[@DoriKei]

A funniest review, Marek. As I say, anime makes your life a lot better. ))

[@daredevilSK]

Great review. RC is far from perfect but it is so much fun to drive, and it is so reliable, that it is a no-brainer for a car enthusiast looking for a stylish coupe.

[@burgandiwatson2477]

I love mine!

[@rccarslover7143]

Its a coupe car.wtf you expect from rear space?

[@aas-ci6hv]

funny review of a funny car. made my day, sir. looking forward to your next review. arigato gosaimashita.

[@MarekDrives]

+aa s Doo itashimashite.

[@passerbya5520]

I'm disappointed no comment was made regarding the whiskers on the rear bumper :')

[@TheSaint491]

wonderful car, love the rc to pieces, But, are there shopping bag hooks in the boot?

[@rinconjazz]

Really accurate review. Yes it's a sheep in wolf's clothing. But as Marek said, it's a smile car. Handles great and fun to drive. If you want super fast acceleration go elsewhere or get the 350. Fuel economy is as advertised after 2,000 miles driven break in.

[@MarekDrives]

We don't get 350 here in Europe. We only get 200t, 300h or RC F.

[@samuelhucko6090]

HOW CAN YOU SAY RC200 IS THIRSTY ON GAS?? DUDE ITS ECO 2.0L IT HAS VERY GOOD MPG MILES PER GALON.

[@MarekDrives]

What's good in your opinion?

[@human6593]

@@MarekDrives how was ur test per letter , did u drive smoothly without hard acceleration or a/c :)

[@jackmueller6348]

Marek Drives this car makes 22 city and 31 hwy THATS AMAZING for a car this good and heavy... all the American reviewers are impressed by its “great” fuel economy damn you suck... no offense but your the only reviewer being a shit on this car

[@josephstalin4202]

Why it have the orange brake calipers and that head light if it's a RC200T. I've been searching for this type of RC for a long time

[@92stikerz]

are those headlights upgraded? Those headlights are from the rcf not the rc 200t

[@MarekDrives]

+michael curiel Maybe they are part of the F-Sport pack.

[@HansenPL]

Te bliskie ujęcia z drona są bardzo fajne.

[@MarekDrives]

+HansenPL Bliskie są akurat z ręcznego gimbala. Ale jak sięgnę wysoko, to prawie jak dron ;)

[@gryphongryph]

Toyota has not been making a good looking car since the Supra & Celica in the nineties !!!! Which is where I think they get there dashboards from today, it really is a shame, as there dealer network usually is excellent .

[@boboutelama5748]

Yes, the LC500 and the LFA where pieces of crap, and the first draws of the new supra are so hugly too. Balblabla on the internet.

[@menger88p]

Bmw M2 with no options and a manual transmission with 370HP and LSD and much better sound is 10 times a better car. And the price is below 60000 Euros in Germany.

[@deemm1265]

Terrible reviewer. First of all RC is not based on IS. Also, the RC is offered as 350, 300h and 200t. Various engines. You need to do your home work before you review the next car. Very ignorant perspective.

[@Kev50027]

He's in Poland you nitwit. They have different engine options over there.

[@ScreamOfSilence22]

But but... I thought USA is a planet :(

[@ScreamOfSilence22]

Excepe Europe isn't only Poland also. Nice argument by the way, totally got your point across. Now go clean your trailer so your MomCousin won't be angry.

[@brucec43]

Yeah, he's doing it in English to reach the Polish audience where they don't have the better engine.

[@andrzejbudzynski9237]

+Klaudiusz Jar Ja bym wybrał M4 ;)

[@GoFast865]

Wouldn't buy one, but it's at least interesting.

[@bighands69]

They are reliable, fast, very smooth to drive but at the same time can become rough when you want it to. It is not a track car and is purely for the road.

[@theniceones1613]

This dude is golden lol

[@buffalosoldat]

I have a feeling that the whole formula of this program persistently tries to imitate Top Gear in some points.

[@MarekDrives]

Lepiej TG niż Automaniak :)

[@Posidaon]

I think BMW! If you wanna smile more change your girlfriend :D

[@3blaha3]

RC is a coupe based on IS???????????? Hard to accept it..

[@jeffrobins3828]

Tough review, but witty.

[@reno2028]

This car has excellent gas mileage (American standard).

[@sami6936]

ur pooring ..how could u present such nice car in that pooring lame way ? I owen one i will assue u lool

[@JR-kr9cb]

Dam I was going to buy a camaro but the lexus rc 200t was beautiful so not sure what I want they are about the same price so camaro or lexus please help

[@allenxxx1010]

i have the rc200t and its nice and all but camaro definitely for speed, looks id go with lexus

[@Rebel_71123]

It goes from to 60mph in 7.3 sec so I'd go for the RC350.

[@josephstalin4202]

JR want the power but no money get comaro, want the looking but no money get the RC, have the money want the power want the looking want the perfection, LEXUS RCF

[@bighands69]

Camaro are better value in that you can get a higher spec engine but it will not be as reliable as a Lexus. The Truth is you will need to test drive both of these cars to get a feel and try the higher Spec Camaro. It all depends on what you actually desire. I am planning on getting a RC F to replace by RS5 (as it looks like Audi are turbo charging).

[@D3vious38]

JR camaro = cool but basic & common. Lexus = Badass, looks better, Boss af! & not just anybody gets one.

[@Kev50027]

I must say, the looks of this car don't make me smile. They make me sick. It looks like someone took an axe to a Toyota Solara. Actually, a Solara that has been attacked by an axe murderer would probably look better. To each their own I guess, but seeing this makes me cringe it's so ugly.

[@nariman302]

+Kev50027 As you said to each their own, but how you think it looks like a solara is beyond me

[@azhariqbal1212]

Yes yes I know what you mean ugly like your mother Lol 😁

[@rebecasotomayor3234]

look who is talking here who drives a matchstick box. Lexus RC is a nicely design car

[@MegaGecas]

if you are 70+ years of age, have some spare money and always wanted a sports style car, then this could be a choice. There is plenty of space for your drugs for variety of diseases: heart, head, joints, liver pains, genital rash (oh you naughty naughty grandma), vascular calcification you name it.

[@MarekDrives]

+Vytautas Gečas Too low for 70+, but late mid-life crisis kind of thing, yes.

[@jaroroytapel]

A very expensive Toyota.

[@Zadrigo]

Why do journalists love Lexus cars? Perhaps some hype crosses the Atlantic from the place where they are considered good cars due to the lack of anything good. Unattractive, cheap looking, plasticy cabin, rubbish ergonomics...and in Europe we can buy so much better cars and for less money.

[@rebecasotomayor3234]

stick to European cars then don't come here whinging about Japanese cars. absurd nonsense

[@boboutelama5748]

Car virgin.

[@maxmartinez8396]

Definitely won’t be buying this car.....damn this car sucks
