Five-Point Inspection: 2015 Lexus RC 350 F-Sport

5. Should You Buy One?

Is the 2015 Lexus RC 350 F-Sport a smart buy? Rear-wheel-drive models start at a not-unreasonable $47,700 including $925 for destination and delivery (all-wheel-drive adds a little more to the bottom line), which is pretty comparable to up-level versions of the A5 and 4 Series.

If you want a sporty-looking coupe with a premium cabin and engaging dynamics this car is not a bad choice. It’s quick and entertaining, plus it’s practically guaranteed to beat its German rivals in at least one area: reliability. Since this is a Toyota it’s engineered to survive the apocalypse. It’s a car that’s easy to like but perhaps difficult to love.
