i travel much therefore have not put many miles on the car ....my opinion after 4 months ...
1) this is a very soft cruiser type or call it a gt that can be pleasant for those who have never driven a 911 or vette..
2) it lacks that great feeling of a 911 or vette and not even close to a lotus .
3)mine is the rear wheel drive,with all options . great for my trips from florida to connecticut and vermont 4 x per year .....i hope ...i have not done it yet but will in june ,the first trip----------------
and the real reason i got it over the 911 or the vette or even the jag F type is due to tthe fact that only the lexus has regular tires and a spare ..which i need when i drive long trips in the mountains ,etc...also, the less claustrophobic of all the above .
BUT..................(and too late now )
4)in december i came down to florida in my vw gti...first ever long trip on this car ..bottom line ---had i driven the gti on such a long trip before i would have never bought the lexus rc 35 f sport....my gti is that good ...on the negative side ,poor sound system and somewhat noisy on some pavement ..but great mpg and great power and handling. as a handler it is just great but the rc will out do it in tight hi speed curves ,but last time i did this on my porshe i hit the wall as the rear end came around .therefore more careful now and the gti forces me to be careful.
5)--the rear wheel drive / steering on the rc is incredible and you can tell right away as you go around a corner,a tight curve or one of those round abouts in the middle of a road. itis a grat feeling once you get used to it ...initially it can be disconcerting . almost as good as the one on GT3 .
summary ,after 4 months ----and no long trips yet ------i prefer the gti for pure driving fun.............then the vette and then the 911 .above them all ,the lotus evora .........but crazy to get a lotus ( who is going to service it ) .and then comes in the new alfa romeo---but made by the same people that make the FIAT ( or Fix It Again Tony ) crazy .
the rc f sport , a nice soft cruiser that can handle curves competently and in my opinion a great interiro and better and less claustrophobic than al the others
