It has a unique color of an interior.
I like how fast my car is. I like the interior as well as the tech that is with it. I also like the mileage for a sports car. No complaints.

It can be fast but it is a really great car.
I like that it has seat warmers and air conditioning, but it is pretty small. No real complaints though, I am thankful.

The interior of my car is great.
I really love the fit and finish of the car. The interior is very luxurious. The media center is super easy to use while driving. Also the exterior is very stylish. The A/C keeps it cool in the summer. Also a sunroof is great for Texas heat. You can't roll down the windows but being able to see outside is great

Expensive to maintain. Tires and brake pads wear down quickly.
Hard to get in and out of. A lot of blind spots, but the censors come in handy. Backup camera is a dream. Amazing interior. Good sound system/speakers. Nice bucket style seats.

Comfortable, sleek, powerful car that makes you feel like a boss.
The Lexus RC 350 F sport is the most comfortable car I have ever owned. The suspension is so good, driving feels like floating. There are so many computerized options to make the whole experience great. The leather heated and cooled seats are so comfortable. Everything inside the car is adjustable, as a somewhat short person, I can reach everything without leaning. The safety features are significantly better than other cars I have owned. The car feels solid, unlike some of the cheaply made cars I have owned. The horsepower allows you to pass easily on the interstate and the radar controlled cruise control helps with the long commute. I really love this car!

It is a decent car, just boring.
It is heavy, making it a little slow. It is a nice car, reliable, but it is fairly cookie cutter. It has nice features and it is comfortable to drive. I wish I had the newer, faster model. I’d rate it a 4 then. I also do not care for the perforated leatherette seats. Stuff gets stuck in the tiny holes.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled James G.

It is the most comfortable car I have ever sat in. The car has beautiful exterior and has a nice aggressive yet refined look. It drives like a million bucks and has just enough oomph to let you know that if you want to go you can.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled James G.

The only real con I have with the vehicle is that it is a little bit expensive. The only thing that I think that would make it better is if it were just a little bit more powerful. Other than that the car is amazing.
