Couldn't ask for (much) 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.

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

Head gasket fail 170k

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.

UP hill/ steep grade // Boggess down

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 !!!!!

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!!!
