2012 Lexus CT 200h consumer reviews

Bought brand new in October, 2012 and have 110,500 miles on it. Other than tire rotations and oil and filter changes, practically a maintenance-free car. Only maintenance has been replacing the starter battery (less than $300) after nine years and I have replaced either the front or rear shocks, can’t remember which. Brakes have never been touched and are still 50% and 60% good. Yeah, I get the new car itch occasionally but I remind myself that I likely wouldn’t be as fortunate with the next vehicle. Since I purchased it, I have averaged 43.3 mpg. Phenomenal given that I live in Los Angeles. Since I retired five years ago, each July I drive from CA to MI, and have driven as many as 1,200 miles a day (17 1/2 hours in the road) and found the seats to be very comfortable.

Bought a 2012 CT200h for my wife as a commuter ~8yrs ago and without a doubt this has been the best car purchase I've ever made. 40+MPG and practically zero maintenance costs aside from tires and oil changes and a 12v battery (at ~130k). In fact, I just replaced all fluids, breaks and spark plugs for the first time at ~100k miles. Brakes at ~100k?! Unreal. If you learn to use the regenerative braking it truly saves the pads/rotors. Love the looks of this little car too. As a commuter this is hands down one of the best out there. Lexus/Toyota's hybrid system knocked this one out of the part.

Initially, I was looking for a SUV when I stumbled on this little gem on the used car lot. I test drove it and was hooked. It is averaging 50 mpg in the eco mode and about 40 in the sport mode. It handles great. Reliable and comfortable. I can haul a few items, although it is a compact. Love that seats fold down. Maintenance is minimal. I have 145,000 miles and have driven it for the last 35,000. Even with potential expense of battery down the line, it is well worth it and very economical to drive.

The car is great for what I do, I've only had it for close to a week but I love it! Hopefully will give me another 100,000 miles!

Love this car from the inside out! Such a great car! Just bought a newer model! Lexus is so ideal for luxury and reliability. Highly recommend Lexus!

It is quiet, has great amenities, low mileage and looks quite sporty. This has been a great purchase and the service is outstanding. I’m purchasing my next car here. One stop shopping.

Great little car that’s safe, reliable and looks good for our son’s first car. The interior looks like new and seats are extremely comfortable for a small car.

Great ride, all the amenities, good price - very happy with it - our first hybrid with a great around town ride Would buy again

Great commuter, great mileage, comfortable yet sporty. Highly reliable, best for one or two people but can fit four. Love the balance around corners, handling and sport mode. One negative. Rear visibility below average.

This is a great car. I consistently get from 39 - 43 mpg, without trying. I have close to 100,000 miles on it. I just step on it and never again try to save gas while driving. It is quite peppy as well, unlike what I was expecting before buying it. Drives super smooth and silent. The back seats fold flat (very few cars do so now a days). The interior is beautiful. Leatherette seats look like new. have not had to do any repairs. Just oil changes and look at fluids as maintenance. The brakes are very good as well. The car also looks great.
