i decided i would take my step moms RC350 for a spin today to go pickup a friend and get some food, and i have to say i really like the car compared to my IS300. the car definitely feels heavy around corners and such, but it felt very planted to me for sporty driving around the back roads which i liked, as well as the active sound control which the IS300 lacks. i know the car is a second slower to 60 between it's competitors due to the weight and lack of power, but for getting around town in sport+, the car has enough power to do the job without having complaints in my book. this just might be my next car in 3 years here's some pics from when she got it in december 2015

 

This car is a piece of art

 

I actually feel the car handles extremely sloppy...

 

really? i thought it drove pretty good around corners in sport+

 

The RC350 F-Sport is second slower than the IS300? How interesting, where can that info be found online and what year IS? Also was this RC AWD or RWD that you test drove? I drove the IS300 and it felt very slow compared to the RC350...infact the RC300 felt faster than the IS300 too.

 

It handles really poorly around turns compared to other coupes I've driven and owned. The only redeeming quality that the RC has IMO is that it makes for a good city car, and the interior is designed well. I will say it's also comfortable to travel in.

 

He didn't say a second slower than the IS300, he said slower than the RC's competitors.

I still think the RC is one of the best looking cars on the road.

 

I agree with that completely it's just a shame it handles so poorly, especially for the price.
