In 2015 and 2016 You could actually get a Lexus RC-F for around $8k-$10k less than a similarly equipped M3/4. I do not know if this has changed now. They are priced on par on paper, but with incentives during its first two years one could get a very great deal back then.

The more often I watch youtube car reviews, the less seriously I take them. It's just too easy to put up content so there ends up being a lot of talent-less robots spewing out baseless opinion.

The RCF features an insanely rigid chassis with a powerful NA V8 that's legit bulletproof mated to a robust transmission and trick e-diff that can also push 20+ mpg when need be. It's a masterpiece of a GT coupe. It takes time to figure it out and no one hankering for subscribers spends the necessary time to let the RCF marinate.

This guy gets it in detail (mostly).

Savagegeese's RCF review is pretty damn good, IMHO. Only thing he really whines about is the infotainment and a few minor gripes. He also bothered to drive it on a track and on the road as well.

Like anything else you gotta take all reviews with a grain of salt and make your own conclusions, but its a valuable resource to see other people checking the things out.
