Bought this car "certified" used from my Lexus dealer. Best decision ever. It performs beautifully. Lots of warranty . Don't believe the " slow acceleration" and /or "poky" performance claims - this car, if driven properly (sport mode works well), takes off like a shot and corners very well. Certainly not like a supercharged JAG, but well within sporty car realms, for a lot less money. The build quality is superb, as it should be for a Lexus. The cockpit feels, for my 150 lb. frame, just right, is very luxurious , (almost like my wife's ES 350 ) and it fits! Plenty of room in the back for cargo, too. The ride quality could be improved, though. Those low profile tires are terrible, they don't add much to cornering prowess, at reasonable speeds, and just give you lousy ride quality. All this said, I love the car overall and hope to enjoy it for a few more years. Added at 24 K miles: This car has been super reliable, not a single problem! Comments added at 32 K miles : this is an awesome fun car. Not a single problem, total super reliability. I have gotten used to the somewhat firm ride ( as compared to my wife's ES 350 ) but do enjoy the crisp ( almost go-cart ) handling. It is no big SUV, but I had no problems last year traveling 3,000 miles through the North East , getting consistent 42 + miles per gallon of regular gas. I am sorry Lexus does not make this model any more, I'd buy another one .

I have owned the car for 1 month and so far there has been no issues. It can be a bit noisy and you do feel every bump but I use it mainly for city driving so I am ok with that. Great gas mileage and you get the Lexus support. A great entry into the luxury car market. Update.... It has been 6 months now, and I am still very pleased with my purchase. No issues so far.

Sick of paying $70 per week for gas

This sporty hatch is great for hauling my scuba and other gear in the back, jostling through freeway traffic and it leaves a smaller carbon footprint than my gas guzzling sedan. Not a lot of power, but how much power do you need in daily traffic? On the highway you can shift into sport mode which gives you the ability to accelerate easily into traffic. This is a good little commuter car with some luxury features. I got the white with caramel interior which looks sharp. At 6'2" I can easily get in and out of the car and there is plenty of head and leg room. The price was affordable and Bobby at Lexus of Westminster was great to deal with. I decided on a certified pre-owned model with nearly three years of warranty remaining (and unlimited miles). You can pay less for this vehicle but beware of hidden destination fees charged by independent dealers and for vehicles with accident histories. When you are told that the price is bottom-line and no haggle, don't believe it. Nearly all of the dealers I spoke to were willing to come down off even internet prices for a ready buyer.

The car has 3 choices in operation. Ev, normal and Sport. The car on normal and Sport act with loads of Speed. Climb an incline with speed on EV is a challenge( I live in a hilly area). The gas efficiency is amazing. Get the GPS. It Deff is worth it. It helps you interact better with the car.

This Lexus CT 200h, at over 40,000 miles has proved so capable that I am finding it difficult to buy another car. It runs like new, looks like new, has had no problems, is fun to drive, and gets between 40 and 50 mpg depending on how I drive it. It is easy to park due it's size, and never a problem for passenger comfort. Still waiting for Lexus to come up with a sporty compact all electric, but this little gem is one of the best cars on the road.

I love this little car. $16 bucks gets you 426 miles a tank. It’s very comfortable, I love the controls, and it’s fun to drive. I agree that it’s a little pokey. But if you need to merge onto the highway quickly you can snap it into sport mode and it makes a big difference. The plastics are cheapish. My pugs scratched it a bit rustling around in the back despite the cover and now it’s ruined and needs to be touched up. Apart from that it’s an awesome car. I am 5’4” and my husband is 6’0”. We both have awesome leg and head room as both the driver and passenger. The backseat has decent leg room if you’re smaller than 6’0”. It handles nicely and offers good visibility. There are 4 cup holders but not in the back seat. They’re located in the front doors and 2 in the middle so the rear passengers will have to use the middle ones. This is fine for me considering I don’t anticipate hauling people with drinks around.

Only had it for a week, but really like it. Had an RX and didn't need that much space. Family grown, mostly drive alone. It's a wonderful alternative. Love that you can shift it to Sport mode, but you have to watch your speed. It does have cruise control. Next, thinking about NX, a new one right inbetween RX and CT. They just put on options so you have to take what is there. Also no tan upholstry at all, you have to take black. Or in the Sport model red and black. Bottom line, didn't have to put anything down, however I put $1k down to reduce payments and left owing $411/mo. However the sales person said he would pay my first payment. Sales Associate: Amir Have had Lexus since they first came out. We had a 1990 LS 400. You can pass them down or bring it back. If you exchange old Lexus for new one they always are favorable deals. You get $1k off MSRP, but that's just a starting point.

Ok, so this is a great little car. Nothing too glamours but enough upscale to carry the Lexus badge. Acceleration is probably the only flaw, but hey this is just a hybrid. The Lexus network is outstanding.

I had a 1999 RX300 was very comfortable. I did not have many problems with it. Now I bought the CT 200 H is smaller but I realized that I did not need so much space but the necessary. I love all its features. The best thing is the economical that is in gas and how comfortable it is in the front. It's perfect!

This car is just a better looking Prius, it drives like a Prius and unless you have a long commute and need to save money on gas this is not the right car for you. I can't imagine spending 40k on a car with barely 135 horse power. Best options in Hatchback category would be the Mazda 3 or the Golf TDI, I test drove both and it was night and day difference compared to the Lexus CT.

A new job with more travel makes it necessary to get out of this lease and into purchas, otherwise, I'd be keeping it for the term of the lease

This car struggles to merge and uphill. It turns out this is more like a Prius with some nicer interior and better design. I would not purchase this vehicle ever again. Good thing I leased and in 3 years or less I will be out of it. I would recommend the Golf GTI or the Mazda 3 S Hatchback over this expensive Lexus.

After 3.5 year, still no issues. Very reliable. The only challenge is driving in snowy conditions.

In my view the brakes on the car are defective. In emergencies stoping the brakes go all the way to the floor. If I had accident I will sue Lexus

This car is great on gas it is so comfortable to drive and is really not as slow as people make it seem. Was able to fit 300 plus dollars in the hatchback and the kids were in the back. My kids areb10 and 12 and they have enough room to bw comfortable.dont think grown ups would be to comfortable. I get allot of compliments.
Good car with great gas mileage!
