2015 Lexus RC 350 - Review & Test Drive - F Sport 

Hands down the best car reviewer I've seen on RU-vid. Very in depth and actually interesting. Subscribed 👌🏻

That interior is gorgeous. Lexus makes the most luxurious and reliable cars.

The rear steering system does not working in any driving mode except sport+. Also the transmission shifts and engine power changes when you are in sport and sport+ modes. Shifts are quicker and in auto mode it will downshift by itself in a corner and hold that gear to accelerate out of the corner. There is a lot of performance features that you can access but you have to program them in. I have one of these cars. I have never seen a reveiwer talk about how you can program the rev indicator and adjust the rpm peak or change the tach needle color. You can set this so that at the rpm that you select the tach gauge face will flash red when it reaches that rpm. If you are a drag racer then you call it a shift light. The fun begins when you go into the settings and customize the car's features to your own taste. For me the best setting is manual shift mode, Sport+ on the drive mode selector, and turn off the trac-control by pushing and holding down the trac-control button for more then 10 sec. Then you will see how this car changes to a different car. If you drive it in eco or standard mode then you are driving a slightly better Camry with 2 doors. But is Sport and Sport+ the car starts to show it's stuff. Sport+ gives you a faster steering ratio if you have the variable ratio package, the rear steering system comes into play, the suspension is at it's max stiffness, and the programing on the engine tune and transmission changes. In closing I would like to say owning this car is a dream because when you go out for the night and just want a smooth lux touring car. It can be that car, and when you are in the mood for some fun it can be quickly changed to that. Owning a sports car you will always have a stiff ride everyday and every situation. What Lexus has done here is given you both and touring lux car and a sports car. 95% of the time we drive it as a daily driver we want comfort and not stiff and harsh. But 5% of that time we can have that sports car. The best of both worlds in one cars. There is more to this car then what most reveiwer can tell you. And you need to explore the setting and program the car to your taste. If you buy one get the f sport package, vari ratio steering, adaptive suspension, rear wheel steering package,and go and read the manual to understand and unlock the hidden features that this car has.

You sir, were meant to review vehicles! Great job.

I really, really love your style of reviews. You're super thorough and go over pretty much everything about the car (without going crazy). I also love how you go over the engine layout and even going so far as to look at the steering linkage. Great work, man.

Hello, I am Japanese and would like to thank you for reviewing the Japanese car😊🇯🇵😀

Dude you're the best car reviewer on RU-vid! Smart and very informative in terms of mechanical aspects. Keep up the good work! :)

I hadn't watched your reviews before this. I won't have the money for a car like this for a long time but i am impressed with the level of detail and technical knowledge in this review. Much better than a lot of other channels that get way more views!

This is the most in depth car review I have ever seen. Awesome work man thank you

This is the first review I've seen of yours - I freaking love your overview of under the hood and drive train. Most reviews are "Sounds great. looks good. pretty comfy. Puts a smile on your face"

One of the best reviews I have seen! Very detailed and informative!

Love your review. You really elaborate on your analysis and have a good technical knowledge on the various aspects of the car. Much better than some of the fluff piece reviews I have seen/read from other reviewers.

I've seen a lot of car reviews, and this is the best car review i've ever seen.

Great review. Detailed enough to help me understand the more technical details of the car and what I'm really paying for. No gushing about how good looking the car is but a really objective view of this product. I especially appreciated the comparison to the GS 350 which I am also considering. Buying one of these a year old could make a lot of sense since first year depreciation is a killer.

When he revealed the spare tire and said "a nice yellow you might just want to buy 4 of these" I lost it 😂😂

You are doing the best car reviews I've seen. Technical, but technical about stuff that matters and is interesting. Subscribed!!

Great review. You have an unique, and invaluable, approach of showing the technical parts (e.g., suspension) of the car during the review.

my top fav car reviewer keep your amazing work up , your review really make me feel like am driving the car

thanks bro hands down covered all and everything in full detail, never let up my guy, great review

Getting better and better at these reviews Jason, well done :-) Keep it up

You do know what you are talking about . Looking forward to seeing your subscribers grow, I just subscribed

Love your review ... Detailed tecnical explanation great

Thank you so much.. You naild it and reviewed it for what I need. Respect.

One of the best reviews of a vehicle, esp inside the wheel well

Awesome review, with a reviewer that's VERY easy on the eyes.

I’m so glad you made a video on this car, it’s in my price range now for a used one. I love this car!

Now THIS!! This is a proper car review!

you really did a great job filming this video and I really liked the first person thing. In my opinion this is the best one man work I've seen. Keep up the good work.

Great job on the review!

Love the opening shot, Bright Red super shiny sports car with a nice dark green background.

this guy is really good at reviewing. he gets very hands on. this is coming from a British guy who loves/loved Top Gear. i only came here as RC is only just being released in affordable form. RCF has been out for a while in England but its waaay too expensive lol. thanks Engineering Explained

The roads you drive around for these reviews look like such nice places to drive, bendy and scenic.

You do excellent, honest, balanced, and thorough reviews brother. LOL, "Sitting in the back seat...uh....I can do this....oh god." :) so funny

I love the way you do your videos!

2020 and this car looks beautiful even 5 years later!

great review man

Thanks for the detailed illustration

Great Review Man.

I havnt thought about owning a lexus till 2019 car show. With the rcf. The interior has me wanting one

Wow awesome review... Good Job !

stunning car and great review

Great review!

nice review man! I like it when u add the technical stuff to ur reviews, coz m an engineer. This is what other guys miss out on. Keep it up...

good reviews bro

Good review all of good information its here nice job

amazing review. you are awesome

Great review, it was funny to watch you squeeze into those rear seats.

You're getting some great cars to review! Thanks! Wish the performance and test drive were first, leaving the more fiddly trim and geeky stuff for those who want to hold on until the end :-)

dude your car review maybe the best I have ever watched, you researched about mostly everything about the car that enssencially is neccessary, very infomative and crap-cut and ear-grabbing straight forward, and no personal unrelated opinions like some other youtube car reviews, I find it very useful to watch before buying a car, please do some more of these on newly released how rides, good job well done beef!

RWS....makes me miss my 91 prelude 4WS! A+++video.

Nice review bro!

Good review!

Best car reviews on RU-vid by far

That's what you call a review - I really it, thanks!

Great video thanks for the info

I love your videos.

I really enjoy your style of review. It is so obvious you know what you are talking about. No florid marketing jargon, and each vehicle is tested on a baseline. Well done. Now, if only you liked motorcycles and reviewed those!! :-)

Love your review. hope you can review evo x too

Dude I thought you looked familiar, I've seen you around Oregon. Dig your videos. Keep it up man:)

Love this car! Want to own it!!

Great review. Would love to see it cornering from the outside though - could do a second run with GoPro on the side of the road and then just splice it into the middle of the footage to look like it was all in one drive. I know that would take a bit more when you don't have a crew, but it would give another perspective of the car in action.

That color is amazong

From mobile I like how the thumbnail goes straight into the video

Damn. I'm sold. Especially after reading sheilarb77 customization notes!!

I put a stage one on my 2015 Rc350 fsport. I was able to get 353 HP out of it. Loving it.

Best RC 350 F-Sport Review ever....Well done. However, IF You really did get 25.9mpg over a 50 mile run at 75/25 Highway/City with going through MT and AT Modes and getting into the throttle as much as you did I am amazed. Seriously... Excellent Fuel Economy... Thank You for a Job Well Done! JP

Very nice. Interesting to see Lexus has brought 4ws back recently. Not new for them though, they had the same in their 1991 Toyota Soarer UZZ32. 24 years ago!

very good review. ty

Still watching in 2021.... the road to Bremerton tho 😍😍

Gorgeous car!!

Great review. I'm buying this car at the end of this month.

this is what I call real review.

Love your videos. Could you let us know the power in Kilowatts for those of us who don't use horses.

Don't mean to jump on the band wagon but I do completely agree with Eduardo M…..Great Job! I really enjoy all your videos and how realistic you are with all the reviews.

You know how to give a proper review. Keep up the good work mate! :)

What is the advantage of using aluminum for the upper and lower control arm? Love watching your videos! Definitely learn a lot from them!

Nice, review. I thought that looked familiar, Historic Columbia River Highway, fun road.

Another great review. The Audi S4 you tested seems like a far better choice for enthusiasts (S5 if want a coupe).

I trust his reviews. Other people just do infomercials.

Bought one. Great car, but I started to miss the V8 I had in the ISF. Solution: traded in on a '16 RCF ;)

I saw one in Lexus dealer when I was going to change my car from ES350 to GS350 F Sport, RC 350 looks sharp and pretty. And some 10 mins later it's gone from showroom. xD

Looks cool

I own this car and you taught me things I didn’t know lol. Love driving it fast and being able to do a u-turn wherever.

THANK YOU!!'

Great looks. Decent performance. I have a 2013 GS and like it, but wondered if it would be better to have an RC. This review made me feel better about my car as it seems the differences are minimal plus I think my interior is nicer than this car. Also, I drove a '15 GS and it had the 8-speed instead of the 6-speed like mine, and I really didn't like the way the 8-speed drove. Weird feeling and kind of slushy unless you go sport plus.

The key fob is massive

Awesome car

That spare is hilarious

Review the i3 sometime. I think you'll love that you can't really get into the electric motor compartment very easily. :)

Need to review a golf. Maybe even the r400 when it comes out.

It's so frustrating that most of the reviews I saw on this dissed it's performance which was so different that what I experienced actually driving it and might have convinced me not to buy it. Then I went back and looked at the video reviews again and saw that in every case where I could see they weren't in sport + mode and often were just leaving it in automatic. So they weren't using the sport performance settings of the car and then complaining that it isn't sporty enough. I've had mine for almost 4 years and almost always drive it in sport plus and always use the paddle shifters and it is a fantastic car. Yes it is heaver than would be ideal but it is a solid, planted heaviness, especially in my AWD version. Don't trust these reviews bashing it's performance. Drive one yourself in S+ and learn how to really use the paddles right and you will love it.

I've watched a few of these videos because I'm in the market and I've actually concluded that this car is a good comparison with the Jaguar F-Type

I like the cars that make you SMILE when you put your foot down! :) This one didn't seem to do that. :( Great Review...Thumbs Up!

I am in the market for a new, used or leased vehicle and have narrowed my preferences to the Lexus RC and BMW 4 series. I love the aesthetics of Lexus, but almost every review I see gives the BMW 4 series higher marks for driveability. I like the 2-door/coupe body, need safety, quality, warranty, maintenance packages and fuel efficiency. Is there a particular year and model that you prefer for both manufacturers that you could recommend so I can do more research and test drive prior to making my purchasing decision?

what is the point of increasing the compression ratio if it still produces the same hp and torque as the one in GS350? can you pls explain. Thanks

Do you mind making a video on how a fuel temperature sensor works? I can't find anything on the internet that's of use and explains it in fine detail..

Key fob looks a little outdated... Good looking car though. Great review again EE!

Are the shifts not faster in Sport/Sport +? I test drove an IS F Sport recently, which I assume is similar, and it seemed to shift really slow in normal mode, but I know I have seen videos (say, Winding Road's test of the IS 350 F Sport) where the car appears to be shifting quite fast.

When are you are doing the v8? Good video btw.

Nice 👌
