Lexus RC Buying Guide Malaysia
- RC 200t (8AR-FTS): pure DI — walnut blast at 60,000 km mandatory; check if done
- RC 300/350 (2GR-FKS): D4ST dual injection — less carbon; timing chain; smoother power delivery
- Two-door coupe: check B-pillar and door hinge area for accident repair — hard to spot repainted panels
- RC is sporty but rear seat access is limited — purely a driver's car, not a family vehicle
