Wow, what a great little car.

2011 Lexus CT 200h Premium 4dr Hatchback (1.8L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)
I have previously owned three Lexus vehicles an ES 300, ES 350 and my last car a GS 350 AWD.
When the CT 200h came out, I took a test drive and fell in love with the car.
I drove it home that day.
I liked the looks, red with black leather interior, and sporty.
It's very quiet and has the ride quality
of the ES 350 I had.
You do hear the CVT under acceleration but it quiets down once up … to speed.
The car's computer indicated I got 44mpg on the first tank of gas.
This includes some interstate driving.
Currently, it shows 46.5 mpg will do an actual check on my next fillup.
Go out and test drive one.
Would make a good entry level to Lexus or 2nd vehicle
Loving My 2011 Lexus CT200H ~!

2011 Lexus CT 200h Premium 4dr Hatchback (1.8L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)
Purchased a black one (only Black or yellow left... yellow either love or not and I am a... not). Was wanting a Hybrid for a while. Was a Lexus owner already and I needed more space than my IS250 but not neccessarily as much as the RX.This was the perfect combination of the two. Good use of the space with the folding down back row of seats and access through the hatchback... and hey it … is a Lexus what's not to love? :0)
Great hybrid - don't expect "sportcar" performance

2011 Lexus CT 200h Premium 4dr Hatchback (1.8L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)
i bought this car because i wanted fuel efficiency first and foremost but wanted as sporty a driving-dynamic as was possible - this car delivers.
Just what I expected, and then some

How you'll like a CT depends on your expectations.
The car LOOKS fast.
Like an Audi A3 or Mazdaspeed 3 5-door.
But we all know (or you should know) it's really a Prius that's fun to drive, that's what I expected. I got more than that, a world class compact luxury sport wagon that's a blast to drive,
Lexus quality/class (and comfort within its stiff chassis limitations) and 40+ mpg.
My … friggin motorcycle has a hard time getting 40+ mpg.
The car is a blast, has enough cargo room for my needs (I regularly carry a couple of bicycles + gear to rides & races). The technology works, it's surprisingly fast in Sport mode. And a bit of a head-turner too. Love the car.
A winner for Lexus.
