  Cool looking and fun to drive - 2013 Lexus CT 200H
  By danupsman - April 24 - 9:28 pm

  Weve logged several hundred miles on local road trips so far. It would seem with just 140 or so HP that it would be sluggish up hills but we havent found that to be the case. Its surprisingly more powerful than we though it would be. We took a trip to our local mountains (8,000 ft plus) and we never felt at all like it wasnt powerful enough. It just wasnt an issue ! It handles very nicely but there is a little more road noise than I liked to compared to our infinity G35. The interior is a little tight and it takes a little more effort to get in and out of because of that and its lowness to the ground, but we expected to give up some of that for the increase in fuel economy. Love it !

  CT 200H F Sport... Love It! - 2013 Lexus CT 200H
  By melissaboyle - March 5 - 1:41 pm

  My husband and I, bought the 2013 F Sport used. It had just under 9k when we bought it, nearly a year ago. It now has 26k. I took it on a road trip this Summer, from WA to NM, AZ, NV and back to WA! I managed to fit myself, 3 dogs (2 med. 1 sm), my overweight friend (sorry friend!) and all our stuff! I was comfy, my friend and the dogs not so much... Mainly because my friend took up most of the room, with herself and her bags. We were all fine on the way back, without my friend. I did pickup my niece whos about my size. 54/115lbs. So 2 average adults, 3 dogs and everyones stuff fits fine and we were all comfortable!

  Why did I ever leave? - 2013 Lexus CT 200H
  By miked22 - March 30 - 9:48 pm

  I was a very loyal Lexus owner. I purchased 2 Rx300s in a row and couldnt say enough good stuff about Lexus. My only disappointment was the non- availability of the Mark Levenson sound system. That frustration sent me to a piece of junk domestic mfg. Back to present day...... I wanted to get something different. One day I was in a parking lot and saw the CT. I knew it was a Lexus however I never saw one before. I followed it and took note of the model number. After a little Internet research I went for the test drive and was very impressed. I expected a very sluggish pseudo sports sedan. It is anything but fast however it was much quicker than expected. Only one day in but I love it!

  Fun to drive - 2013 Lexus CT 200H
  By john684 - October 29 - 1:56 pm

  This car is actually very slow. But it feels really fast! Perhaps because it is low to the grown and the suspension and steering is sport tuned. It is a very fun car to drive. Handles well. Cargo space is extremly limited and the tech package is out of date.

  Sometimes a car is better than you think its going to be - 2013 Lexus CT 200H
  By kofender - December 11 - 4:02 am

  Ive had my CT200h for 2 weeks now, and while I really liked the car when I bought it, it has turned out to be better than I expected. Lets start with gas mileage: Im getting 50 mpg (not 42). Its way comfy and easy to get in and out of. The acceleration is just fine (and I drive a lot on the highway). Its very solid and more fun to drive than I ever expected. Overall, this was a much better choice than some of the other hybrids I considered (I only drive hybrids; this is my third). And heck, theres snob appeal to driving a Lexus, too.
