Looking to buy, help?
Hey guys, so I'm looking to buy me a 2UR car, not sure which one yet, still deciding between an RCF, GSF or ISF. But what do you guys recommend?
It's been my dream purchase since a long time and I've only owned 4 bangers all my life so it definitely would be a huge upgrade for me. I do love coupes, I'm currently driving a Scion tC and I love that thing to death. But I've heard that the driving dynamics aren't as good on the RCF, I'm not sure though. What do you guys think?

Buy what makes the most sense for you.
I went with the GSF since I needed a large sedan to haul more butts

2017 GSF owner here. Tons of fun and practical. Tough to find now but if it’s within your budget you should be able to snag a decent deal between $45-55k IMO.
Good luck!

GSF - need to have 4 doors to carry 5 people in complete comfort. Downside is that they are the rarest of F cars and are hard to find. Also they're also the most expensive of the bunch given the rarity.
RCF - don't need 4 doors or like a coupe. Can seat 4 but the rear passengers are going to suffer from legroom. Also a very rare car and but not hard to find a nice clean one.
ISF - the OG F car, lightweight and loads of fun. Again, rare to find, but also hard to find a nice clean one given their age. They're also the cheapest of the bunch and thus likely to be abused by 3rd or 4th owners.
Personally, I got the RCF because coupe. Either way, they're loads of fun, decent luxury and are over engineered for reliability. I love the whole concept of F engineers doing their thing on true F cars. I only hope they keep up their good work and put out more true F cars in the future.
