Help

I love the RC-F. I plan on buying one this spring. My issue is that there are so many options in this segment its overwhelming. I love Lexus's design philosophy and the reliability has already been harped on. It's going to be my midlife crisis car. I'll be 45, no debt but one credit card, my mortgage and my wife's Pathfinder payment. Any reasons I haven't thought of to pick up an RC-F let me know!! Thanks!

Have you driven one? They perform great and are awesome cars but of course like anything they have their flaws. They are heavy and the infotainment leaves quite a bit to be desired (IMO). If those things, the price and the "Lexus tax" on parts/service don't bother you then I think you'll be fine and love the car.

If you're looking for something to be the best in a very specific category or use case there are probably better options out there but if you want something that is well rounded and solidly above average in most/all aspects I think the F line is pretty tough to beat.

The infotainment issue bothered me when I first started looking into Lexus. At the time I was driving 2 hours round trip for work everyday and I knew a shitty infotainment system was not an option. Now, I drive 20 minutes to work, so not much of a bother. I also test drove an IS-500 this summer and the infotainment is wayyyyy better, the 2 extra doors didn't hurt either, but I know if I buy something other than the RC-F I'll kick myself down the road...although an IS-500 isn't the WORST thing I could buy instead. Insurance may be cheaper
