This is my first small car in decades (having driven

This is my first small car in decades (having driven trucks and suv's the last 30 years. I wanted a commuter car for a long work commute, and this is perfect. The inside is not quite as nice as my previous Lexus models, but it is far nicer than a Toyota interior of the same time period. I love the looks of the hatchback and the fuel economy is solid. In sport mode its lively and fun to drive. A+

Great car, our first Lexus.

Great car except the dealership screwed up repairing the moonroof problem when I reported it to them a year before. A year later the moonroof started leaking at car wash and during severe storm. We have proof of TLC for our CT based on the record of Lexus. We spent a fortune maintaining this car since 2013. Our car have 98,458+ miles.

Made a hy-bred believer out of me!

More fun than I would have expected. Love the Lexus quality and styling. I would recommend this vehicle and would buy one again. After all, It's a Lexus!

Hybrid is best thing about it

This is a small car. It is only 98 hp in econ mode but 140 in "sport" mode. So gas mileage is a bit disappointing, as it has the same drive train as the Prius. I get about 37/45, but the Prius owners I know say they get at least 12-15% more than this. The driver seat is comfortable, but the suspension is very rough. Console compartment is small and hard to reach (too far back). Hands-free phoning is bizarre and difficult to use. I have a hybrid Camry that I think overall has a better interior design for the space available, and it's also a LOT more powerful. The bluetooth voice instructions volume is loud and not customizable (many other electronic features are - why not this one?). Fake leather seats are a bit of a let down (but still improved over cloth). Base radio is meh, not even HD and speakers are also meh. Exterior is sporty, IMO. New price tag was too high (I believe Toyota is just capitalizing on the luxury name), but used ct200h's have more reasonable pricing.

Real Good Gas Mileage

Overview: The CT200h is essentially Lexus’s take on the Toyota Prius. The CT has been around in its current form since 2010, meaning it still uses the previous-generation Prius’s basic platform and gasoline-electric powertrain. As the least expensive ticket into the Lexus lineup, this relatively sporty-looking hatch could be construed as a competitor to entry-level luxury cars, But don’t be fooled by its rakish silhouette. The CT’s hybrid powertrain is focused on one thing and one thing only: fuel economy. It’s rated at a combined 42 mpg by the EPA, several mpg below the current Prius’s numbers but still well ahead of most other compact luxury cars. The CT also has the distinction of being one of the few remaining hatchbacks to wear a luxury badge.

Excellent mileage in a very pretty package

My commute recently tripled in length and the 17 mpg my Explorer was getting was just not cutting it. After doing a significant amount of research and decideing what we were willing to spend, we landed on a CT200H. After test driving it, and getting used to the significant smaller vehicle, I love my car! It gets great great mileage, looks fabulous, and drives amazingly. I would absolutely recommend this vehicle to anyone

Sporty look with hybrid efficiency.

I was looking for a gas efficient car. However, many of the hybrid cars do not look good, in my opinion. The CT 200h combined an attractive, sporty look with the gas efficiency I wanted. It also has enough room to store my bicycle in the back when traveling. This is the perfect car for me!

It's a Prius

Reliable hybrid car that should NOT be considered a luxury car. It's a Prius with the Lexus logo. I've driven a few Toyota's & Hyundai's the past few yrs that have a better drive and feel more luxurious than the LexusCT 200h.

Reliable, fuel-efficient car

If you are looking for a car with a lot of bells and whistles, this isn't it. The bluetooth is spotty but otherwise everything is solid. Very fuel efficient and comfortable, so if you have long commutes, this is a good car. Has a fair amount of storage space for a small car.
