Stiffer than the current MPS4S??

I thought Lexus would blink again and an RCF-Spec MPS4S would mean a non XL version of the MPS4S. Lol.

If this is so that's quite ballsy of Lexus.

Yeah, MPS4S are only offered in XL reinforced sidewalls. Now, I read a review in which Lexus told them the RCF Spec MPS4S are different from the standard MPS4S and have more reinforcements to minimize understeer.

Default No More 20s!

Right now, this very instant, my biggest complaint is that you can NOT find many hot aftermarket wheels in a staggered 19" setup! Not many wheels have a "Drop Center" which clears the calipers. Have a perfectly good set of Ace Alloy "Black Chrome" 20s I need to sell (with BRAND NEW front wheel and Michelin PS4S) that had to be replaced due to a sinkhole on The Beltway!

Everything else about the car is absolutely awesome (besides stock wheels) so that's where I'm at right meow!

Default Sunroof

I hate how the sunroof goes out on top of the car. Looks terrible.

Lol, interestingly enough, I actually love that about the sun roof. I think it looks really sporty. I love cars that do it.

I’ve tried to like it, but it’s a huge pane of glass just chilling on top. Lol most I’ll do is tilt it.

I rarely used to open it. I have only gotten 2 speeding tickets with my RC F and both times I had the moon roof all the way open. So now I open it even less.

The delay in acceleration when in Drive mode and you mash the pedal. I'm stepping on it for a reason...gogogogogo

I have an RLX as well. What the original poster is referring to is that in addition to puddle lights, the RLX has an LED light that lights up the concave area between the door pull and the door itself. They come on when it is dark and it senses you approaching the car.

On a side note - the only thing that I don't like is that track pad control for the screen.

My door will only stay open when I push it ALL the way open...otherwise it has a habit of closing on itself.

No easily-accessible camber adjustment for the fronts.
FYI—might not bother others. My RCF is mostly track use in its first 10 weeks of ownership. DFW, Austin (COTA)

I've found 2 spots other than all the way open to get it to stay open on level ground. I don't know if all years and individual vehicles are exactly the same or not. But yeah, it takes some adjustment to get used to it. I've had 71k miles to adjust.
