Another Hit From Lexus

WOW-WOW-WOW ... what an amazing car!!! It's not at all sluggish as has been written by some. Of course it doesn't do 0-60 in 4 seconds ... but we have not had any problems merging onto the freeway or climbing up hills. The Normal Mode is fine for this, but for a little extra oomph, just kick it over to Sport Mode and this thing moves. The ergonomics are great. We traded an Infiniti EX35 for the CT, so it is a tad smaller ... but no worries, we can still carry people, our pets and haul other stuff as needed without any problems. And of course, we absolutely love the fuel economy too. 42+ mpg is the norm for our combined city-freeway driving thus far. How awesome is that!!!

I have the 2012 premium fire agate (brown) for 13 months and 14,200 miles. Most people give 5 stars and rave about this car. I'm not so easy. Fuel economy has been 37 to 44 depending on time of year. The handling is fantastic. But ride is hard due to low profile tires. The brakes are extremely powerful. The seats? Good for 100 miles after that my legs go numb because the cushion is too soft in the middle, causing circulation to get cut off to my legs. Better for short trips. Back bolsters are too aggressive. Rear passengers cannot place feet under seats because of HVAC. Nav system is way too complicated and frustrating. You end up giving up and using your iPhone many times.

This is the cutest car i’ve ever seen

This car isn’t the most luxurious lexus you can buy, but it certainly turns heads. i was out on the town a few nights ago and had all windows down, and heard multiple “that car is so cute” from people on the sidewalk. The CT200h is a (slightly) rare car, so this is expected. the car is terribly slow, but it’s not designed to go fast. i expect the car to be reliable, given that it is a toyota atkinson cycle hybrid synergy drive engine. another really good thing about this car is the suspension. it feels really good, and the steering is tight on windy roads. Compare to Audi A3 or a Acura ILX, the CT is way better. Lastly, the optional Pop up SatNav is sleek, elegant, and easy to use with the remote touch controller. The caramel interior is beautiful, and isn’t expected in a car at this price range. excellent buy.

This is a great hybrid car. The CT gets incredible mileage and is a fun ride. If you want to be able to merge on the hwy set it to sport til you’re up to speed. Coming from a large SUV to this small sports car was a real learning curve when shopping for a big family. Ive enjoyed owning it. The cost to own has been very reasonable. The batteries have Lasted. It only needs 8 gal of gas and runs About 340 miles. I would keep it forever but my dog needs a bigger ride!

F-Sport not comfortable

I want to begin my review by saying the ct200h f sport is a good car, but it is not comfortable, especially if you drive long distances. Stay away from the F-sport. The bucket seat design offers no support, despite the built in lumbar support. And once I highlighted the problem I have had very poor support from Lexus themselves, giving me contradicting information. I have had a physio and an occupational health advisor state the seat is causing my back problems, and had no prior problems with Audi, bmw, Ford or Peugeot. All cars I drove long distance. I had no problems with the seat of the regular ct200h, I'm curious to know if anyone else has had problems with the f-sport??
