For a small car, the CT200 is very comfortable. For highway travel, it is one of the most comfortable cars I've ever driven. The navigation system and entertainment system make the trip more pleasant. At 44.0 mpg (I've gotten more than 50 at times), the CT200 is easy on the wallet. I would highly recommend the car to anyone looking for a great small car.

I love my Lexus. Have had it for almost 2 years and I'm still getting good mileage. I also think it's fun to drive and very easy on freeways with all the start and stop of urban driving. What I didn't think about when I purchased it (and should have) was how low to the ground it is. Easy for the driver to get in and out but almost always have to pull away from the curb to let a passenger in and out. Have been losing air pressure in my tires and now find out that it's corrosion of the chrome wheels. So far two wheels have had to be resealed. Anybody else have this problem? Let me know...

Had this car for a week now and it's amazing. Getting already 45 mpg with mixed city and highway driving. Got the Premium trim with Audio package, HDD Navigaton and Leather Package. Love the drive and the sports mode. Saving a lot of money on the gas. Got the Factory Invoice price from my dealer.
54 mpg!?!?

My wife got this car (2012 model) two weeks ago as a birthday present. She just came home from a luncheon and advised me that she is now getting 54 MPG! After telling her she was crazy, I went down to the garage and checked for myself. Remarkable. She is very satisfied with the car so far.
Better than I expected

I just retired, so I traded the LS460 for this economical hybrid. The adjustment hasn't been as difficult as I anticipated. The CT has sufficient power, many of the usual Lexus luxuries, and provides a warm feeling about saving the planet. I drive in the Normal mode, and after warm-up, frequently see the car running on only battery power when steadily cruising as fast as 40 mph. Although not as silent as an LS (but what is?), it is acceptably quiet except during hard acceleration.
Give It a Serious Test Drive

I know I'm in the minority here, but I'm very disapponted with this car. If you've never had a hybrid, give it a very serious test drive before you buy or lease. On the plus side, the MPG is excellent -- better than advertised -- and the front seats are very comfortable. The exterior of the car is very pretty. Overall, the car isn't as much a Lexus as it is a gift wrapped Prius. There are obvious trade offs with a hybrid, but the performance in Normal mode is tepid, at best. There's better performance in Sport mode, but it's annoying to have to toggle back and forth. The ride is harsh, the car is full of rattles, steering is jittery and the back seat is very cramped.
It’s a lexus !

The ct is my daily driver. I have a second car for the summer. It’s what I had expected from Lexus. I bought it used certified and believe that’s the way to buy a car. I do have to take my driver out of my golf bag to get it in the hatch but can also put down the rear seats and put two golf bags and luggage for a road trip. The summer mpg is 44 to 50 winter averages 34 because the engine runs more

The best things about the CT200h are its reliability and fuel economy. In 135,000 miles over 5 years, I've had nothing—nothing—go wrong with it. I haven't even needed a new 12-volt battery. Maintenance has been minimal—I've been religious about servicing it—mainly an oil change every 10,000 miles. Fuel economy has been a consistent 46 mpg. I haven't needed a brake job either. The front seats are comfortable. Negatives: It's slightly underpowered, especially on hills, and not as luxurious as you'd expect a Lexus to be. Quality of materials is not that great, and the front passenger seat isn't power-assisted, for example. It also could have better noise insulation.

Can't believe I need a head gasket at 170k. Changed oil regligously. After looking on the web it appears this is a common occurrence with this engine.

We have had our used car for a little over a year now. Love the car for where we live,, northeast South Carolina. There are 2 issues we have with the car. 1. -- sometimes the windows fog up so bad it makes driving unsafe. We have to run the heat full blast for 30 mins before the windows clear up enough to see good . This is a problem. 2----- When we traveled to the mountains ( Boone, N.C.) for a funeral ,,, going up steep grades for long period of time ( 45 minutes ) the engine over heated ,, due to having the motor/ engine maxed out ,, everything the car had,, to maintain 35-45 MPH. REDLINED !!!!!
