The Lexus LC500 is a Total Hidden Gem and My Favorite Lexus and Here's Why!

[@chadibouaazzi3364]

It’s really a special car. I remember driving it a my Audi Dealership and thought that Lexus makes a car that Aston Martin, Maserati, and Bentley wishes they could make. The LC500 and the Mercedes Benz S class Coupe are my favorite coupes ever. I’d buy the Lexus, because it will last forever.

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.

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.

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,

[@aurorajones8481]

I just picked mine up after having ordered it in Oct of last year. I test drove the M5 (second favorite just sick inside and out), and comp (to harsh), E63 (hated the interior full of creeks and cheap feeling to the touch), and 911 7mt (close 3rd but not nearly full of personality as the LC. Im so in love w/ that thing.

[@aurorajones8481]

12:11 The interior is the next reason I bought the car the other was the 2UR Gse. I call the interior bespoke and cozy. It fits me like a glove, or a fine tailored suit. The bolstering of the seat makes getting in and out a bit of a speed bump but once your in. Your IN.

[@aurorajones8481]

14:01 I know a lot of ppl give this car shit cause of the infotainment system. Im a techy guy, I actually love it. Sure it was not immediately intuitive but after having it for a day you pick it up and I can navigate the system while driving w/ ease. No finger prints messing up your look. Im bias but don't let that detract you. If your a human your clever, you'll figure it out.

[@aurorajones8481]

15:56 The seats are perfect if your around 6 180lbs If your bigger you will have issues I promise you. The seat bolsters are hard but soft you'll know what I mean if you get in and out of the car. But if your big they will pinch you and they don't adjust. Sorry big guys this is not the car for you. It prints big on the outside but the inside is pretty tight and if your not on the thinner side its game over.

[@aurorajones8481]

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.

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! 😄

@@timw2083 slow to downshift in normal mode. Had times when I would need to stab the gas quickly and there would be a long delay in downshifting. No issues in Sport or Sport +, but car bucks in those modes. LC 10 speed is way smoother and is like a dual clutch.

[@nashbridges120]

You reference the transmission’s clunky shifting, especially earlier years of the model. Do you think this clunkiness equates to durability issues? I’m thinking of purchasing a used LC, and would consider an older one (depending on your answer!). Thx.

Beautiful car. My dentist has one I helped him buy. Getting him to let me drive it is like pulling teeth. I do not like the door handles for one reason, on cars that live in the Great White North, they are impossible to open when frozen. PS. From the 'Word Wizard", the word 'good ' refers to value judgements, the word 'well' refers to how things operate, such as cars, doors, engines, etc. Keep up the great work.

The interior is literally gorgeous!! The exterior looks beautiful but the interior is far above the rim.

I drove one at a Lexus Experience on the track at Laguna Seca. For such a heavy car, it feels agile, sure footed and off course fast.

[@roykirich]

For a moment there while you were under the hood, the car looked huge pictorially while you spilled the huge numbers about it and told to myself that you were actually standing and the car dwarfing you. Now I see the real size. It's a dynamic force powered machine... This car is just amazing like the video 📸 itself! Cheer's to you and all the car care nut guys all over the world!!!!

[@hwypilot1]

I bought a 2020 used with ~7500 miles on it. I found it in a different state and drove it 2500 miles home. I have to say that I disagree altogether with your opinion on long distance comfort. That drive was the first time I haven't had back and hip pain on a long roadtrip. The seats are very adjustable and extremely supportive. Overall the best road car I've ever owned. ✌️

Yep. My 2017 ES350 just hit 30K miles and I am tempted to sell it and get the hybrid version. But I do want to save the ES for my son when he goes to college in a couple of year. Oh well I just have to wait. I am also considering thebase Porsche 911 as well.

They barely drop in value the 2018s in Canada are still selling in the mid-90s. That's if you can find one for sale there's not many out there.

[@lindap.p.1337]

What depreciation? This is 2022.

Well is the unusual time where used car price are crazy high. Wait a couple year, you can pick up a 3 year old at $70K range.

@@jml9550 show me one or send me the link that's 3 years old that's $70,000.. LOL 😂 Toyota and Lexus are actually making less cars moving forward like all the other major car companies and have closed factories. Everything's going to get more expensive moving forward.

New coupes are extremely hard to find right now & Lexus factory is not taking orders at this time because of supply chain issues. I’m ready to order as soon as the factory allows it. If I’m going to spend that much money, I want to configure it EXACTLY the way I want it. ( Hopefully they will get rid of the touchpad in favor of a touchscreen in the 2023 model when it comes out )

IM looking at buying in the next 12 months either 2017 to 2018 LC500 $175,000 AUD approx or RCF 2019 to 2020 $125,000 AUD The LC500 will still cost me at least $50,000 AUD more which will be pushing it. $insurance is about $1200 more a year for the LC as well and I would imagine servicing will also be dearer. Usually there will only be 2 in the car but occasionally I may need to carry 1 or 2 people in it for short distances. Car will only be used on some weekends. I am retired and my wife has a 2020 V6 camry and I also have a 1994 Hilux 2wd Dual cab which is my daily. Had in the past , wrx's, BMW 135, Supercharged Camaro ZL1 (Fun but not practable) and currently have a Grand Jeep Trackhawk which is extremely fast in straight line but not really fun to drive especially through bendy bits and its a huge vehicle. I'll be keeping the Jeep until the warranty has almost expired probably another year or so. I've done the straight line speed thing (Jeep is good for 0 to 60MPH in sub 3.5 secs - fun in the start but how fast can you go nowadays with cameras on every corner. So what I would like your opinion on is - I know want to buy a car that I can keep for a long time (10 + yrs) and over that time have reliability and at minimum have slow depreciation or even better have a chance to appreciate and be fun to drive so I came up with a LC500 or RCF. With insurance costs plus initial extra cost of LC500 and servicing costs what would you suggest, Also I think waiting longer than 12 mths prices of these cars may not drop significantly as the V8 s are disappearing. Sorry for long message One other thing if I bought the LC500 the only mod would be to get the vehicle covered in PPF , if I bought the RCF it would have PPF plus Cat Back exhaust as original exhaust too quiet for me. Which one would you pick as a long term buy. Im not a mechanic but can do my own oil changes etc.

[@jml9550]

Yeah I test drove the V8 and the hybrid. I prefer the hybrid on its stealth speed and quietness pulling out of the driveway. Will pick one up in a coupe of year once the used car price get back to normal, most likely a 2020 or 2021 model year.

Hi Tony, I didn't rent one, I have it borrowed from the dealership so I could show it around. It was amazing.

[@cloneunknown8824]

i think you have to turn off traction control completely for the car to allow you to redline and give you full control of shifting
