Can any of the lovely RC owners offer wide ranges of advice? 300h, 350, 200t Owners
How’s it going guys, I hope you’re all doing well!
I do have a lot of questions so I apologise for the yap in advance😂
I’m living in Ireland and I love Lexus RC’s. They are extremely rare and sexy here compared to everything else. I’m in my early 20’s and in Ireland, road tax and insurance will make it a prerequisite to sell an internal organ to own a 350…
But with the way fuel prices are, I don’t mind importing the 300h anyway. Sexy, economical and performance isn’t THAT big to me, (0-100km/0-62mph in 8.6 seconds😭)
To the RC300h owners, does it feel sluggish?
But on the off chance I sell an organ which may or may not be mine, is the RC350, 300 or 200t mpg as bad as people say?
For reference, RC300h official combined fuel economy of about 56.5 to 57.6 UK mpg, with real world 40 - 48mpg or if there’s anyone that owns, what figures do you get?
And for the owners out there of all RC variants, how much mileage is too much? I’m seeing examples of 100,000km, 192,000km and inbetween.
Selling for €10,000 - €15,000 (just to import mind you, taxes add an extra €3,000-€6,000 on arrival.
Should I expect any major maintenance with this car at those ranges? And how high mileage do these last? What’s everyone on right now?
For those with and without Mark Levinson speakers, are they a must have?? I’m a pretty big audio and bass head. I’m coming from a 2015 Jaguar XF with the Meridian Surround system and it is genuinely orgasmic.
It really doesn’t have to be to that level, just good enough audio to not want to remove my ears. Or has anyone looked into aftermarket setups if it wasn’t enough for you?
I’ve also heard about inner tyre wear? Is that common? If so has anyone experience and fixed the issue?
Thanks for taking the time to read lads

This section isn’t really irrelevant so you needn’t read beyond, but what cars did you own before?
I’m coming from a 2012 BMW N47 520d, and Jaguar XF 2.2d and have lost my f*** marbles watching the timing chain on the BMW blow up and the Jaguar have an electrical seizure…
My Jaguar didn’t recognise the key and I was out for a week because it was either FLY IN AND ACCOMODATE a man from the UK ($$$$) or spend €500 on equipment and learn how to conjure spirits coding it myself, which thanks be to god, I did and did it scotch free and refunded the equipment.
I’m hearing the Lexus reputation, it’s time to switch sides before I do something to a BMW and Jaguar HQ…🕴️
