Used 2015 Lexus RC 350 for Sale

There's a comprehensive complement of airbags, including knee bags for the front occupants, and the braking system has electronic assistance. There's also the Toyota/Lexus/ Scion Smart Stop Technology feature: If a driver inadvertently presses both pedals at once, the brake becomes the overriding function. Behind the Wheel A rigid body means a finer state of tune for the suspension. Finding the balance between a comfortable ride quality and not wallowing around corners is hard to achieve, but Lexus has done it here. The RC 350 absorbs surface imperfections, but remains composed on sweeping freeway ramps as well as tighter corners. The steering feels substantial and precise but still lacks information about how the front tires are behaving, which is an issue with most electric power steering systems. Both provide the opportunity to get more involved with steering wheel-mounted shift paddles. Shift action is mechanically perfect, which is the quality level expected in premium cars -- and certainly from Lexus. Progress is about average for the class. For rear-drive versions, 0-to-60 miles per hour is polished off in 5.8 seconds before going hitting a top speed of 143 mph; all-wheel-drive cars are a tad slower. In a rear-drive F Sport model, whose rear-steer function brings maneuvering benefits at high and low speeds, the thrill factor goes up a notch or two. But all-wheel drive and the extra weight of its necessary hardware is a downer. It takes a heavier foot on the gas and more aggressive behavior with the gears to get things moving, which isn't as much fun as when the engine seems effortless.

2015 Audi A5 2.0T -- The Audi A5 is little low on power (220 hp) but comes with the option of an all-wheel-drive setup. There's also no shortage of Audi design fans. 2015 BMW 435i -- The BMW 435i is the big player in this class and is absolutely worth test driving to experience its poise and pace. It's obvious that not many other manufacturers can make a car this thrilling. 2015 Mercedes-Benz C350 Coupe -- There's a depth to the quality of engineering in Mercedes-Benz vehicles that becomes apparent as soon as the door thunks shut, the engine fires up and the car gets rolling. Continuous improvement over 100-plus years will do that.
