Not what I expected in Lexus

Purchased CT200h to replace a 2001 Prius we drove for many years. We were trying to decide between a 2015 Prius plugin and Lexus, ended up going for the Lexus. The first impression was it was very solidly built, and I was confident it would be reliable being a Lexus. Only two pros for me now that I've been driving it for a week, nice leather driver seat and it does handle well, like a sports car. Lots of cons: No passenger lumbar and the seat is very concave and low, hard for us older people to get out of. Also no height adjustment for passenger. Dash and center console are designed in a very confining way, feels claustrophobic. The center dash especially is unnecessarily large with only one plug. Can only call it a weird shifter. unusual configuration of auto gears and "park" is a push button...hard to get used to, why do this??? Car sits low to the ground and windows angled so as not to give a great view of your surroundings. I removed the rear seat headrests so I could see better. Almost no leg room in the rear. I'm only 5'9", and with the front seat in a comfortable position there's only a few inches in the back. Sluggish acceleration in normal driving. If you punch it hard, it will rev and go, but it doesn't accelerate very smoothly if you're going from 0-60 quickly. It'll do it ok, but it doesn't feel natural to it. HORRIBLE bumpy ride. It sits so low that you feel every bump way more than I would have expected for a "luxury" vehicle. Lots of road and engine noise, again way more than I would have expected from a Lexus. In conclusion, I wish we would have went with the Prius. This car has a nice look, but for me now that I'm driving it, that's where the charm ends. It's pretty clear that Lexus really was lacking refinements for this vehicle as they're "best value". Overall, very disappointed and want to trade in already.

Best performance and fantastic look

Not only the car saves you on gas allowing you to do long trips on a single tank but also it has that sport luxury look that Lexus always have. Very reliable never had an issue and it brings joy to the family everytime we go on a trip

Luxury Hybrid with Remarkable Reliability

This car has been a great experience for me. In the nearly three years I have owned her, I have never had one problem with her. I consistently get excellent gas mileage and once got 53 Miles to the gallon in economy mode. There is not a more reliable and economical car out there with luxury features.

Great mileage and reliability

This car has space, comfort (for someone under 6? y?all), and reliability. The Bluetooth does take a while to set up though. Great handling and turn radius.

I love my CT200h

I love my car! I purchased this car used with about 28k miles on it. I have had it for several months and I have been thrilled with the fuel economy. The 11(ish) gallon tank takes me over 400 miles between fill-ups. The interior is beautiful and comfortable, the car is super quiet, and fun to drive. It is a hybrid and does not have a quick 0-60, but I'm not looking for that. A great little car!

Great car, excellent power and handling

I love this vehicle. I drive 100 miles round trip to work every day. In two years the car paid for itself in fuel. Drawbacks: no rear cup holders, would be nice to have a little more storage room.
