Engine shake at less than 200k miles
Upgraded from a base 2010 Prius Much more comfortable and a lot prettier. Less cargo space but great commuter. Engine compression issues. Lexus offered me 5k as a trade in before quoting me a repair price and research showed this had been happening to several of people-so hey knew about this issue. Bitter taste in my mouth since this car has been maintained at the dealer since I got it.

Attention Grabber
Bought this car at end of 2014 inventory year and at True Car "Good Price" recommendation. This car is and F Sport Premium trim level but now, 6.5 months into 2016 Private party resale is a measly $24,000.00. That is almost $23,000 off our purchase price. NOT HAPPY!! Aside from that, this car is a great city car and very good road trip car. Turning radius is so good that I can almost turn around on a two lane road. Lots of room in the garage too. Acceleration is poor but adequate and we have averaged almost 43 mpg over our 27,000 miles. Not bad. Cargo space even with the back seats folded flat is not adequate for road trips but we managed two trips to Florida jammed tightly with two Shi Tzus and luggage in spite of that. Difficult. Car gets lots of compliments, most often from some kid on a skate board but just the same. I can almost wash the entire roof from one side because the car is so low but it gets lost easily in the parking lot because it can hide behind something as small as a Volkswagen Rabbit. We have learned to make sure to remember what row it is parked in. Except for anticipating taking a beating when selling or trading, we give the car a "B" mostly for good looks and economy.

First and last Lexus
I bought a brand new Lexus Ct200h in August of 2014. Loved the car till January when crackling and rattling was heard in the dashboard. Two months later and several visits to the dealership and was finally told that the rattling is a "normal characteristic" of the car. I have documentation that says that the cold weather is a cause for the sound. Am now in step one of Lexus arbitration process. Hoping for the best but not expecting it. Should anyone accept rattling in a brand new car especially a luxury car?
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!
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.

Fun to drive
This car is actually very slow. But it feels really fast! Perhaps because it is low to the grown and the suspension and steering is sport tuned. It is a very fun car to drive. Handles well. Cargo space is extremly limited and the tech package is out of date.
Lemon from the start
I got this vehicle on August 2nd. The day after I got it to check engine light came on. A week after I got it it made a noise, and five warning lights came on including the hybrid system light. I took it back to the dealer and they quote unquote fixed it. The day after I picked it up the check engine light came back on. A week later, the hybrid system light is on again.It is currently at the selling dealer, they say it is under a 90-day warranty so hopefully they can fix it.

Waste of money!
Had the car for 3 years. Had it serviced as scheduled. The brake actuator and the main battery failed at the same time. 9000 dollars to repair. I'll never buy a hybrid vehicle again.

Live at first sigh!
I wasn’t looking for this car.. it found us. We were looking for a hybrid. On a random day we went to an Audi/ vw dealership and we’re trying old about this little ore owned gem... it checked all the boxes from fuel economy to performance to style.. sporty sleek and sexy. SOLD! Now after the fact (irresponsible I know) I am thrilled to read the reviews of this hot little lux devil and am glad we went for it when we saw the perfec fit for our needs! Thank you Lexus for your safe quality luxury hybrid... we are sold! Ps.. we are TALL people and this cars headroom is great plus we have frowning children who fit very comfortably into this car! ... one thought for Lexus.. need cup holders in the rear ;).

Sometimes a car is better than you think it's going to be
I've had my CT200h for 2 weeks now, and while I really liked the car when I bought it, it has turned out to be better than I expected. Let's start with gas mileage: I'm getting 50 mpg (not 42). It's way comfy and easy to get in and out of. The acceleration is just fine (and I drive a lot on the highway). It's very solid and more fun to drive than I ever expected. Overall, this was a much better choice than some of the other hybrids I considered (I only drive hybrids; this is my third). And heck, there's snob appeal to driving a Lexus, too.
