Brooke H

It's overall a great car, I love the look and performance.

The car is extremely fast and handles well. Mine has the mousepad on the steering column which is unique but not really easy to use. It is very comfortable but the seats are narrower for a larger person.

It is the sexiest car ever!

It is fast. It is beautiful to look at. It is comfortable to sit in.

I love how the leather is extremely soft and the seats have a cooling feature.

Extremely comfortable, all wheel drive, seat warmers and seat coolers, ability to switch to manual, all leather interior, fast, extremely reliable and gets great gas mileage. Mesh detailing on front of car, eco mode, steel brakes, can fit 4 people, large trunk space.

2015 Lexus rc 350 best car ever.

My 2015 Lexus rc 350 is an amazing vehicle. Incredibly reliable, smooth, sporty, and fun. Couldn't ask for a better car. I have had in for over a year now and plan on keeping it forever. I have even done a few modifications like a different air intake and exhaust. Love this car.

Rims are easily scratched badly.

So I have the rc-350 f sport. I love my red interior, ventilated seats, remote start, sunroof, push to start, and horsepower. I love how it looks, how it drives, and the temperature it can sustain.

Julie K

Fun to drive, looks nice, great buy.

No problems driving this car. Handling is great and get a great mileage on gas. Sports mode is fun to drive and the car looks great. Not made for 4 passengers. No issues with this car so far. I would recommend to others. Fun car to drive and comfortable even in long distance.

The quality of Lexus review.

It is very comfortable but the turn radius sometimes feels limited. It is good quality materials and the workers at Lexus are very nice and helpful. It has good safety features and is easy to drive. My family has 2 Lexus’s so I think that shows that they are a quality car brand.

Danielle C

Bluetooth capabilities that makes it easy to navigate.

There has not been any problems with my vehicle besides having to constantly get the tires realigned. It has been reliable car for the past few years. It's good for long trips from the beach to the mountains. Leather interior with bluetooth capabilities.

The affordable luxury sports car.

Maintenance is expensive and frequent. The handling is amazing, and it is a beautiful car. It sits very low to the ground and can be uncomfortable for long drives. The trunk space is deceptively large. The paint does not handle dirt well and should be cleaned often. It is a fun car to own but a lot of work.

I love how the leather is extremely soft and the seats have a cooling feature.

Pros from Owners

Jacob N.

Luxury Style-Very Sporty look on inside and out. Fast-Sport Mode-sport like seats. Good look-many color options. Many features-Mark Levinson Stereo, navigation, heated and cooling seats. Still enough storage despite being a coupe.

Cons from Owners

Jacob N.

It only takes premium gas which is expensive. Can't fit really anyone in the back seats unless they are young or small. Enough storage but will not be able to move your whole bedroom in the car. Eats up gas pretty fast even on eco.

Is The 2015 Lexus RC A Good Value?

I bought my 2015 car for $15,000 pre-owned and my sister bought a 2010 jeep wrangler for the same price. I personally believe it was a great deal.
