Maybe to many are evaluating the RCF for performance only? I think of it as a luxury car with added performance value.

"The M3/M4 is the better car". Yes better for performance, but not better all around car.

I didnt watch the full video but I've grown bored with my Lexus RCF (still have it, wife now drives) and replaced it with a Limited F-150.

1. The RCF is underpowered - severely. Is it fast, yes, is it fast enough to be considered a TRUE performance car.....NO NO NO. Mustang GT with slight mods will spank our cars.
2. Infotainment is the worst ever..........singly handedly my least favorite feature.
3. Too many interior rattles and noises.
4. Too heavy
5. Looks too much like the RC350 - people say "we have the same car often - RC350 owners).

I loved it when I first got it and occasionally enjoy driving it but not enough to keep it much longer. It's gonna be for sale probably within the next year.

I have a Ford raptor trade it for a f150 before. The f150 was nice but very underpowered and felt cheap, especially the plastic on the doors. Have fun with the f150, but should of got a raptor instead !

I got the 2018 Limited - it's not cheap inside, it's comparable to my Lexus from a fit and finish but the technology on it blows away my Lexus RCF. I would have bought a RAPTOR but there were 2 reasons I didn't.

1. The new RAPTOR is the same engine with 50hp more and is actually slower (it's a TT V6).
2. There is a $10-$20k markup in California on the RAPTOR.

After about three years of owning the RCF, I still like it and get compliments everywhere I go (now, granted my RCF is not located in SoCal where I live, but it is in the deep south where I work. Therefore the RCF is still "rare" in that area.). I am not bored with the RCF and still brings a smile on my face every time I drive it especially with the Borla exhaust.

1. The RCF has plenty of power for what I need to do. That is a GT cruiser on the highway. I can pass MOST vehicles in my area with ease WHEN I NEEDED TO. RCF is not a "TRUE PERFORMANCE CAR" TO ME. RCF is a grand LUXURY touring cruiser with ease, comfort, and style. I have no need to race ANY MUSTANGS NOR ANY CARS OUT THERE. I don't give a CRAP.

2. Infotainment...........the ML system is excellent. Yes, there are "better systems" out there. Besides, the Borla exhaust sounds better anyways.

3. No rattles and strange noises in my RCF. This is one of the "tightest chassis" around.

4. Too heavy? Too many people are "stuck on this heaviness issue". Heck, the LC500 is "heavier". So are many other cars out there......... Yes, there are definitely lighter cars out there too!!! But for me, the RCF feels just right for a GT luxury cruiser.

5. Looks like a RC350? Looks is not everything. I can tell an RCF versus a RC350 BLINDFOLDED!!!! All I gotta do is listen to the V8 roar!!! Not my problem the RC350 owners CAN NOT TELL THEIR CARS FROM OURS (RCF)!!! I don't give a CRAP if the RC350 owners or anybody else thinks my RCF is a RC350/RC200t or whatever!!!

Yes, if you don't "love the RCF" anymore, then you should just get rid of it. I'm sure someone out there would LOVE to have your RCF!!!

2.0 Turbo is not a RC F. Do you have a RC300 F Sport? RC F is 5.0 V8

USB 2.0 is the name of his car's color, 2.0 is part of it and isn't relative to the engine he has.

I think if people understood what a GT was, they wouldn't have bought the RCF. A GT leaves alot on the table in the performance area for the sake of luxury and comfort. In other words, its going to be heavy, but its a joy to drive on long distances. Cars are getting heavier each year, so that's the trend. The RCF is not a sports car and was never advertised as such. A Corvette or 911 comes to mind when I hear sports car. Underpowered? Not really. I don't consider a car capable of doing 0-60 in 4.3 seconds and mid 12 second quarter mile as underpowered, unless comparing it to a real sports car. Bolt on for bolt on, the Mustang is not faster than the RCF. And are we really comparing modded cars to stock? I have absolutely no rattles or strange noises and I've stiffened up my suspension. They are present in my 14 CLS550 with only 25k miles. The infotainment needs a lot of work, but the ML is worth it. Blows away the HK in the CLS. Love the ability to read text messages on the move. I would still drive the RCF simply because of the drivetrain.

I only responded to this thread again, because right now there is someone reading this and they are on the fence about the RCF. My advice is to understand what a true GT is and get your expectations aligned with reality.

My last car was a 2016 Subaru WRX STI. I consider it a true sports car. Maybe not as fast as some top tier cars but really a sports car. After a year of ownership I sold it. I am getting older and that car beat me up. I could barely walk when I got out of it. My left knee was killing me from the clutch. The ride was harsh and pounded me. I could not drive it for more than an hour or so. I loved the way the car ripped up a canyon. Stuck in traffic in that thing was torture.

I want to drive all day. I want performance and I want luxury. I get it all with my RCF. After an all day drive when I am slogging home through stop and go traffic I can relax and not be praying the trip was over like in my STI. I can drive it all day and still dust a Mustang!!! LOL

Or maybe you can stop attempts to sell the M4 on this board? When you can prove a stock M3/M4 can run anywhere close to an 11.x second supercar, it would mean something. Until then an isolated number on a drag strip with some many unknowns means absolutely nothing.

This thread has gone from comical to just downright a complete mockery. Just because of a 10 speed auto, the auto version will not be 0.8 seconds quicker than the manual (MT instrument tested by C&D). Too big of a difference for everything identical except tranny. It has never happened. You should stop trying to insult the owner's intelligence here. That track and car are prep'ed for traction.
