Thanks guys 😜 I have done 8500 miles since end of September. I should manage easy 10000/year. Honestly I am always looking on the market for something “special” but so far nothing seems to tick more boxes in this price range. This engine is a gem. I have just changed all 4 tyres to Michelin Pilot Sport 4S. Front brake discs and pads (brembo discs and apec pads) already purchased waiting in my garage. Also this week I’m going to Osaka Newport to change gearbox oil. I like this car so much that I think it deserves this little extra (Lexus dealer does not change oil there 😕 during routine maintenance as far as I know). And finally one more thing. Because recently I bought is250 2015 F sport matador red for my wife I am more than happy she drives RCF now too! Because everything looks and works the same way she has no more excuses to give me a lift when I want few beers in this lovely weather. 🍺🍺🍺

Hi, I have owned it for nearly a year but never really bothered to take few shots. So today, sunny weather and a view from Mumbles / Castellamare. My car is stock and this is how I intend to keep it except wheels. When the time for refurbishment comes I am going to change the alloys colour for something like copper or bronze.

Swansea is cooooming:))

Not a single airbag deployed? To me it looks like insurance fraud. Car on parking deliberately hit. I have seen many like these and after repair obviously engine or expensive gearbox fault pops out. But I can be wrong 🙂

We recently decided to go for one more buy to let and similar story as you described Rob. We have to put 30% deposit soon there and I said to my wife: I am happy to go forward with this mortgage but remember if things go really wrong then my RCF is at the very end of things to sell 🙂

Thanks guys for showing me the difference between earlier and later cars. I mentioned about supercharger but personally I took completely different route few weeks ago and… purchased is250 F sport 2015 in red :))) Just to have something 4-d to take kids to school ha Am I becoming Lexus fanboy?

Similar to Birma's car for £42k. Lovely car, no doubt but again for £16k difference I would mod RCF like hell including supercharger pack...

Can I ask what drives you to a car for £36k when you can have one for £26k in similar spec, still manufacturer warranty etc? Only difference seems to be a mileage but for £10k? I mean if you or someone could explain this to me I would be thankful. I talk about blue one for £26k.

Great car, congrats!

Thank you, that clarifies a lot.

Is fuel tank capacity really 66l? The most I could fill in in last 6 months of ownership was 58.5l (basically nothing left according to computer reading). Where in Volvo S60 tank is 67.5l I can regularly fill up to 65-66l when empty. Maybe I have got 60l tank only? How can I check that without stopping on motorway with no fuel left?:)

Hi, today I went from Swansea to Huddersfield. 260 miles one way. 77mph cruise control most of the time. 33MPG on computer. I put petrol in Huddersfield and 36 litres to make it full again. What a wonderful car! I would never believe it if I hadn't tried it. Thank you Lexus:)

It does not have influence until people realise what it is. Like LSD/non LSD. It is just a matter of time people will pay extra £££ for it in older cars.

I personally always use v-Power for my RCF or Esso premium. For savings I have got Volvo S60 d4 (800 miles on 67.5l tank).

Wow that’s a handy tip. Thank you

Hi, I have been wondering if you have same issue. When it is raining I cannot keep cruise control on. I switch it on but it turns off immediately. I called Lexus and they said it is a safety feature. In my Volvo S60 there is no problem whatever the weather is. In a GT car like RCF few drops of water and it is done. Isn't it too sensitive? It is so annoying not to have such a basic feature.

Hi, I have done just over 1200 miles in it. Lovely car, no issues and suits me perfectly. Today in the morning a message appeared that I need to contact Lexus Chester about engine oil change. I went into settings/ maintenance and engine icon is orange. It says I should change oil now. Is that possible they did not do that on 60k service a month ago? It just looks strange. I have no issues paying for that if that is the schedule BUT what was 60k service for if oil not changed? I always change engine oil in any car during EVERY period service... Any thoughts?

Hi guys, so RCF is on my driveway finally. I am really happy with the car, everything works. Done 250 miles today with it. TVD, BSM, gearbox, engine WOW... 12 months Lexus warranty stamped as well so I hope it stays. It is exactly as I expected. NOT a track car, NO NO NO. Feels heavy but safer at the same time. Proper GT, lovely exhaust sound. I love the interior, exterior and what else really? Oh I fitted my kids there. Boy is 10 and girl 5. No problem at all because back seats in coupe have this "depth". It is my toy so kids only if emergency. Volvo S60 is the one to carry them everywhere. About the seller: Genuine guys. They hold the car for me with no deposit, no pushing. Cannot be more happy really. About the deal: I am never put off because of some misunderstandings. Deal is a deal and I do not need to love seller/buyer to finalise it anyway. Thank you for your help and I will be here much more often then. PS Sorry for my English, still learning.

I must apologise because there was a huge mistake and lack of communication between owner / employee and me. We talked with owner and made things straight. I am sorry for assuming too quickly. It is not so common to speak with such gentlemen nowadays.

I told this guy about TVD etc and now price on Autotrader is up £1000. 2 hours ago trader had no idea what is TVD 🙂 Beware people of this sort of con artists. Very poor... I keep looking.

Hi, anyone knows anything about this car? https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202109247769320?sort=price-asc&include-delivery-option=on&onesearchad=New&onesearchad=Nearly New&onesearchad=Used&make=LEXUS&model=RC F&radius=1500&advertising-location=at_cars&postcode=sa55dl&page=1 Seller says 4 owners, mileage quite high. I do not know if it is worth it, especially travelling from Swansea to view it. Please help
