2011 Lexus CT 200h consumer reviews

This car gets awesome mileage. Live in Orlando...worst traffic in America 4 minute red lights and all. I consistently get 43-44 mpg. My Honda Civic hybrid was lucky to hit 35mpg. Can haul a fair amount with rear seats down and have traveled with four fairly comfortably. Its about time that they made a sporty hybrid lie this car. Guys at car wash fight over driving this car.

My commute is 100 miles plus a day! I have gone the diesel route and found that German cars are costly too maintain. The CT is a gorgeous comfortable car that consistently gets around 40 mpg... and, it's a Lexus!!! It is well designed both inside and out. If you are looking for a fast car this is not for you. If you are looking for a comfortable, economical car... This is a great choice.

I've had lots of cars...performance, luxury, etc., but this is probably my favorite of all. It is such a great ride, the MPG is amazing....46 mpg daily driving, quite, handles well, etc. It was such a great car, that we traded my wife's car in....20 mpg....on a second CT200h. The gas mileage saving alone (not to mention better insurance rates) more than made up for the payment. Great purchase. Drive one before say that some of the reviews in magazines suggest it doesn't perform well.....it wasn't meant to compete with BMW 1 series (20+ mpg), etc. Even though we had a BMW 135i and don't notice a big performance hit. Just where can you use all the twin turbo 135i has to offer. Absolutely love the car!!

Comfortable, compact, both seats fold down in the back, has some pep in 'sport mode' and with almost 10k miles I'm averaging 49mpg which is WAY over the estimates for this car. Well done.

My CT200 is fun to drive, very comfortable and at an average of 46 MPG I like how it only sniffs gas!

The car is awesome. It is not a performance car,;it is not menat to be. However, to be fair 0-60 mph is not a fair measure of a gas/eletric hybrid. The ectric motor torque is avaiable for a boost at almost nay speed. The car is quiet and the interior is very nice. Some think it is not up to the high level plush Lexus standard; but it is a very well placed interior and controls. Speaking of controls they are very clear, straight forward and easy to read. The white eltroliminecent is the best. Gas mileage, on regular beats and exceeds the EPA estimates. It is very easy to get well in excess of 40 miles per gallon. The navigation system is a must in my opinion. It is much, much more than navigation, it integrates all functions to an easy to use control mouse and screen. air contioning/heating, audio, radio, gas efficiency, And integrates blue toot phone and voice commands. And oh yes there is Navigation. The CT has a sporty ride, not cushy like most other Lexus and Toyota cars. This car doesn't feel or act like a hybrid.

If you want a combination of green and sporty, solid and edgy, all the perks and they're easy to use, this is your car. It performed brilliantly in heavy interstate traffic, trucks and rain, and felt good doing it. All the in-town, stop-and-go driving plus that 157-mile round trip gave me 42 MPG on the first tank of gas. I kept my last car until it was 11 years old and hope to keep this one just as long.

I came to own a CT in a circuitous route: I purchased a P 2011 Prius for my wife last month and fell in love with her car. I had decided to trade my truck (07 Acura RDX) on a new Prius, but the idea of having two identical cars bugged me, so I went and test drove the CT. Much to my surprise, a CT could be had for about $1,000 more than my Prius IV with leather and nav, albeit with vinyl and without nav. But it was a Lexus, and the car felt like a Lexus when I drove it. The handling is what sold me; I can live with the lack of drivetrain power, I'm buying the car to get 40 mpg, not to race anybody for slips. The technology in this car is phenomenal, it handles great, it feels like a $50K car to me. Some of the auto press reviews are negative, they compare this car to a Volvo C coupe that goes 0-60 in under 7 seconds, but those reviewers don't get it. There are good reasons why everybody who owns this car raves about it, and you can add me to that list. Phenomenal package that delivers a Lexus version of a Prius in a world class Euro style hatch with amazing (practical and usable) tech features @ a very reasonable price. I was particularly impressed with the Sport mode feature, really changes the acceleration and handling/steering of the car. REALLY fun car to drive, and it grows on you the more you drive it. I can fit a bicycle in the hatch area with the wheels both attached (rear seats folded down of course). Perfect car for my needs.

Have driven German brands for 30+ years. Got tired of paying $1000+ every time I took them in for service. After one such service on a whim I traded in my MBZ ML and got a Prius. This was 2008 and I have never looked back. Love my car. My wife drove it for a week and traded her 530i in for a Prius. Now along comes the CT. My wife took one look at it and was sold. It is one GREAT little car. Handles great, looks sporty, interior is very nice and xlnt mpg with Lexus quality and service. On a 200 mile trip we averaged 47.5 mpg without trying. Almost as good as the Prius. Only disapointment was we didn't want the Nav. and without it you cannot get the Homelink garage door opener. Is the perfect car for my wife. I will keep my Prius because I can put a lot of cargo in it and love driving it. But, the more I drive the CT the more I want one for myself.

It is a very comfortable car. Cup holders aren't super functional and the interior without the nav package is a little dated I think. Good mileage... I've averaged about 45 mpg consistently over the last 3 months.
