One year after purchasing...

I just passed one year driving my CT200H. Firstly, I live in the subtropics in Australia, so driving in heavy snow or ice is not a concern. I wanted fuel efficiency, safety and reliability and this car delivers, and also gives a very comfortable ride. It is not a standout in appearance but is better than the blocky looking Prius. It is an exellent car for a single older person, or a couple (and maybe ones with small children), but the back seat cramped. It delivers everything I wanted and I would recommend it on the fuel savings alone.

PROS: style, fit and finish quality materials inside and out, great gas mileage, great handling and breaking, plenty of power in Sport mode, superior reliability. CONS: small capacity hatch with back seats up, and poor rearward visibility (be sure to get backup camera).

I have 30k miles on this car and it has worked flawlessly from day one. No range anxiety and I get 42-44 mpg. Seats are very comfortable and the Lexus quality is apparent everywhere in the car. I sold the Lexus for $12,200 in March of 2019 and used that money for a down payment on a Tesla Model 3. No regrets!

Great around town car but noisy on the highway, rough ride, and slow on the pickup for highway driving
