R07ARY

I'm finding my post face lift marginally better then the 1st gen even with the use of E10. Haven't usd ECO for along time either. Averaging 40.8 since new, and on 9,500 miles.

Blimey, my first time looking at IS posts, as I'm looking for opinions from owners who may be disappointed Lexus are not bringing in the 2021 gen to the UK. I'm an RC owner who is attracted to the latest IS version, just frustrated we'll never see it.... Anyway, I've yet to come across a thread on this Forum as a whole that had negative attitudes towards other enthusiasts, until now. Think I'll get back to the low key RC conversations!!. ... take it easy guys.

So you can set the number of indications to 3,5 or 7 on the light touch? Interesting, I'd prefer 5 for most conditions, he to look that one up in the manual.

You could consider paint protection film and Ceramic coat on top. The film self repairs scratches and a good investment on what is an expensive car. I had my RC done with front protection, bumper, wings, bonnet, doors and sills. Costs a bit, 2 to 3k, but worth it I feel.

Ditto. Just remember this is a seriously luxurious cruiser that can be swift when required. It is not a sports coupe. However I do prefer the RC on longer spirited road trips as it is just so comfortable compared to the weekend thrasher......

Are your tyres original and supplied with the car? Mine came with Bridgestone Potenzas.

The RC isn't a sports car to start with, it's a luxury GT with a nod to sustainability. For long journeys it's a great place to be. I have a Civic FK8 type r and that does "kick arse" but for a day out, I'd take the RC.

Understood. Still booo. Enjoying some self isolation in my RC though.....

With the hybrid system I don't think you can over ride this. If you are changing the exhaust for sound / power increase, not really the car for this. May be the 200t is more suitable.

I had some from a Toyota dealer for my gen1 RC and both failed after about a year. Took them out and replaced the originals back in. Found they were rattling a bit so something broke in both. I can only assume this was down to closing the doors and the resulting jolts, although this seems quite a design flaw!

I wonder whether it worth someone getting hold of a set of flaps and trying DIY to fit. My be a bit of cutting somewhere may be. I'm really getting annoyed that such a provision is made by Lexus, especially in a country as wet as ours.

Peter, may be an Azure blue Takumi convoy there, seeing as you're in Wilts and I'm in Glos?....

Yep, happy to meet up here. Down in my calendar.

My orange pack / Bridgestone Potenza combo on my new car noticeably better than on my 17 car. Not really concerned why, just glad of it.

Not a like for like comparison in terms of both performance and price. The natural Lexus competitor to the M4 is obviously the RCF.
