Why did I ever leave?

I was a very loyal Lexus owner. I purchased 2 Rx300s in a row and couldn't say enough good stuff about Lexus. My only disappointment was the non- availability of the Mark Levenson sound system. That frustration sent me to a piece of junk domestic mfg. Back to present day...... I wanted to get something different. One day I was in a parking lot and saw the CT. I knew it was a Lexus however I never saw one before. I followed it and took note of the model number. After a little Internet research I went for the test drive and was very impressed. I expected a very sluggish pseudo sports sedan. It is anything but fast however it was much quicker than expected. Only one day in but I love it!

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.

2013 Long Term Review - 55,000 miles

This has been a great car. My overall gas mileage for 55,000 miles is 46.5 mpg. The car is extremely reliable and the only warranty repair I had was replacement of the AC blower because the bearings went bad. It is the equivalent of a mini suv when the back seats are down. The only limitation is the navigation system. It is difficult to use and intrusive. My I-Phone navigation system is much better and more up to date. Lexus is discontinuing the model after 2017 which is too bad because it is a reasonably priced, good hybrid car.

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!
