Heck I wish I could FIT in that seat. The lats bolster was very tight squeeze. I didn't even bother to drive it. What's the point if I have to sit sideways in it. A Russian neighbor bought one and he's bigger than me & I asked how he fit in that car. He laughed and made the sideways motion. His wife on the other hand is dainty and fits perfectly like a flower in a vase. I see her driving it most of the time.
lol, i know, that got me rolling.

When I drove the RCF I immediately felt it didn't have enough ground clearance. How am I supposed to drive it off-road when it's that low?

I've sat in an RC, haven't had the chance to drive one. I loved the interior design and the seats felt snug and comfy, at least for a thinner person.
Maybe Lexus made a mistake with the RC's marketing. It's not a sports car, it's not a track day star, it's a comfortable 2-door cruiser that also handles well. If anything, it reminds me of the Alfa Brera - that car looked gorgeous, didn't punish the driver on long distance trips, but the handling was a bit soft and it was heavy compared its competitors.
Call me crazy but if I didn't have kids or people to ferry around, I would love to get an RC300h. Great looks, good comfort, great mileage, and I'm not even that old

you must be huge...
I am 6'2" 280lbs , 54" chest and a 24" shoulder width (shoulder cap to shoulder cap).
former body builder, heck my quads are 28" round. One of my quads is bigger round than my wife's waist.
I'm a big guy, about 50 lbs overweight now because of my motorcycle accident and I can't lift like I used too. But at my peak I was 225 with 9% body fat.
and I have no issue with the RCF seats, they are snug, which I like, my shoulders barely make it between the upper bolsters, but it is comfortable.
my biggest issue is the car is too high at the door sill, because of my dysfunctional leg I tend to trip over the sill getting in..
but as far as seating, the seats are very comfortable, and I am a BIG guy.

I will say one was behind me last night and there was a mystical dusting of snow on the pavement and the LED lights looked spectacular compared to any car I've ever seen on the road. A beautiful piercing blue that I haven't seen before. I can't wait for the LC though. I'm going to get one to add to my ES and RX. Sounds about what I'd expect based off of seeing them though.
Can't compare an RC to a 911 though. LOL
