LEXUS CT200H DRIVING POV/REVIEW // THE CAR YOU SHOULD BUY!

[@smoguli]

It’s not a regular CVT with a belt and pulleys. It’s 2 planetary gear sets with 2 electric motors all integrated in the transmission. It’s extremely reliable.

Indeed. The alternator is also the Bendix and there is no reverse gear. The traction motor turns the other way and hey presto, you have a 'reverse gear '. An outstanding car.

[@theshawltyone]

@@gregosenna8242I heard that the egr cooler gets clogged then the system pulls oil from the crank case and burns it. So people run the motor with low oil and that’s what ruins it. Also the hybrid battery has a vent filter that can clog so you need to change that once a year? Just what I heard

I wish this version was here in the states. The only fancy version we got was a 2016 "Special Edition" with red seats and black side-view mirrors. I love this blue color.

[@YangGQ]

I have owned both A3 and CT200h second hand. My 1600cc A3 was a gutless device with good handling . The CT200h (sport) is not sporting..... but it is an exceptionally economical device. Oh! and exceptionally reliable by nature of its design and manufacture. I prefer the 10 year old super-shiny white CT200h. Lexus electronics is quite "old" but just use your large Phone for latest versions of Wayze and songs. Car consumer electronics no longer is relevant to a car buying decision!

[@karimtemri1664]

Unfortunately, there is a bit of a drawback with this car. It is absolutely dreadful. Worse than anything I’ve driven in a very, very long time. As far as I know, it has not been the subject of an advertising blitz, and in any event this often makes no difference. Jaguar is carpet-bombing the nation’s poster sites and commercial breaks with its F-type and I still haven’t seen one on the road. So it’s not a marketing push that’s causing people to say, “Yes, I would like to spend 25,000 of my pounds on a smallish Lexus.” Nor is it the concept. It’s not a hatchback in the traditional sense. And neither is it a sporty coupé estate like, say, the Lancia HPE. It’s a sort of unholy blend of the two, much like the Vauxhall Signum. And from memory, Vauxhall sold only about none of those. Styling? Nope. Oh, the designers have done all the right things, but then they’ve dropped the CT’s body onto what look like four casters from a sofa. The result is a car that resembles an aircraft carrier sitting on a pram. Plainly, to unravel the mystery of this vehicle’s undoubted popularity I had to do some digging. So I did. And now I know the answer. Today we live in a part of the world where miles per gallon has surpassed miles per hour as “the thing that matters”. And this car is a hybrid, which means it can do nigh-on 70mpg. I can see exactly why people would be interested in that. And I can see why their interest would be maintained all the way through the buying process. Lexuses are well made. They come with beautifully appointed cabins. The after-sales care is second to none.  And best of all, you get the Toyota Prius’s running gear without coming across as a sanctimonious, holier-than- thou, weird-beard eco-loony. This, then, is a car for people who aren’t very interested in saving the planet but would quite like to save a few quid on the way to work. That’s good common sense. Unfortunately, there is a bit of a drawback with this car. It is absolutely dreadful. Worse than anything I’ve driven in a very, very long time. Lexus is responsible for the best car I’ve driven - the LFA - and the worst, the SC 430. So we know it is capable of a howler. And boy has it made one here. Apparently it noted the fact that most of its cars are bought by elderly freemasons. So it decided that the CT should appeal to a younger set. Which is almost certainly why Lexus has given it a suspension that’s so hard, it could be used to smash ice. The result is a ride that’s way beyond unbearable. It’s up there with waterboarding. Then there’s the engine, which is worse, and the gearbox, which is easily the nastiest bit of the car. Apart from the boot, which is the size of an old lady’s purse. I wasn’t expecting it to be fast. But neither was I expecting something that barely accelerates at all. Because of the stupid stepless gearbox you just get a lot of noise every time you put your foot down - and I mean a very lot - but no actual increase in speed. Lexus says it goes from 0 to 62mph in 10.3 seconds. Autocar magazine recorded a two-way 0-60mph average of 11.1 seconds, and I don’t know how it managed that, because I got bored of waiting for 60mph to arrive and gave up. - Jeremy clarkson

I wrecked my 2010 Honda Insight and a 2014 Lexus CT 200h fell into my lap. I love it. It drives great. Around town it meets all my needs to and from work. I just spent a couple days on a cross-country trip Lubbock, TX to El Paso, TX and back again. It handled 70+ mph speeds, hill climbs, etc as easily as it handles 40mph around town. I tended to leave it in Eco mode and now and then moved it into Normal mode to improve acceleration a bit. It has Sport mode too, but that is very rarely necessary to use.

This car is great. I've just bought a 2021 CT 200h with the same beautiful interior. I previously owned a Toyota Auris, which was also a very reliable and cost-effective car. I was ready to upgrade and debate between the Toyota Corolla GR Sport or the Corolla Excell and the CT 200h Sport. Once I sat in the Lexus and took it for a test drive, I knew it was the car for me. I am fully aware that the tech i.e. the navigation system is not as good as Toyota's, but I can deal with that because everything else on the CT 200h outweighs the Corolla.

I have a 2015 F sport, and I'm very much into cars (have a Celica & 200sx). Very pleased with it, so comfy, quiet and looks the part. Only thing it lacks is some oomph but it still shows a lot up off the lights and when the electric motor kicks in, it does do what you need it to in overtaking. I'd say its just high speed and big hills that it suffers with. Interior is a lovely place to be, I have the rose red. Mine isn't as specced up as the one in the video being a little older.

Later her brother spilled the beans. She moved first, and I came later. When I arrived I bought a Rav4 plug in. The misses commandeered it after a short while, and know the CT is my daily driver, and I love it. Normally I change car every third year, but the CT I don't want to part with. PS!

Most people really underestimate the corolla, might not be the taste to many but it makes me smile everytime i step into it. It even is very very economical. Got a 4.8l / 100km. (Pure highway ofcourse and keeping it between 90 -100kmph) Which for a 2l is really good. With the 2019 business sport intro model it is sporty but very luxury for me. (From a 98 civic to 2006 civic, a polo... i dont want to talk about that one. To a crz (lots of fun for a manual hybride) and a chr and now the corolla. The corolla has lta (lane tracing assist) not fully following lines but you can relax and let it steer itself from time to time. Also lastly i rarely use the pedals, and sliding the stick to the left to manual shift is not amazing its meh. But its really quick at a traffic light!

It always use both or charge the battery. It automatically regulates what to use. If you go at 130kph it pushes constantly with terminal engine, but if you accelerate the electric kick in, if you decelerate it charges, if you are at constant speed and go a little downhill, the termic engine will almost idle and the electric make big work.

I've been given one of these as a replacement for my DS5 ,whilst it goes in for bodywork, I can't wait to get my DS5 back - this lexus is no match and lacks on many levels

[@stevenhearnden6103]

😂 You drive a Citroën, an absolute joke of a car.

[@ssbN77]

@@stevenhearnden6103 the biggest joke is Citroen have the most ugliest looking cars like the picasso, cactus and C4, bloody awful.

[@ahmadmohamad6384]

Sorry 60mpg on motorway at true 70mph is not possible. Only if you stick to 55mph and get overtaken by everything.

[@boboutelama5748]

You still get a good 42 mpg without resorting to eco driving.

[@RandomPandaX78]

I tend to get about 60mpg in mine doing an average of 70 with some fast bits.

[@oddities-whatnot]

And if everything overtakes, so what ? Most people don’t do 200+ mile journeys in the UK on a daily basis so a drop in average speed by 15mph will make no real difference. People need to wake up to that fact.

[@RedBull.RedBull]

Soo many complaints on Engine noise. Terrible

[@apallo.11]

its kinda tragic how this thing LOOKS super cool like it's a quick little hot hatch like a civic type R or something but is unbearably slow. i may have actually gotten one of these if i could actually drive it on the autobahn without holding up traffic

[@nxadventures9510]

It can do 130 perfectly fine, I covered pretty much the whole Germany on autobahn and never held up anyone.

[@stevenhearnden6103]

Stop believing the reviews. 😂

[@Toyota4Life]

My god is everything about going fast ?

[@apallo.11]

@Toyota4Life dude thats just something i personally desire out of my car, but if speed was the only thing i cared about I'd be driving a dodge demon hellcat ligma hemi chargellenger and not a lexus. 10 seconds to get to highway speeds is too slow for me personally and thats why im on an is350 instead.

[@brettbanta2100]

​@@nxadventures9510 yep, I have one too. I can go 110 mph all day, and can actually go faster

[@HamadKhan-m9n]

Plzz num

[@stamy74]

This is the worst car Lexus ever made. Better buy a Toyota Auris, it has much better suspension.

[@stevenhearnden6103]

Really? 🤔😂😂😂😂

[@Gurn33y]

worst of the best 🤷‍♂️ looks like a great second car and ive been itching to get rid of my citroen c1 😭

[@smoguli]

The Auris is only available with the steering wheel on the wrong side 😛

[@Ardna53]

Bought a used one owner 2014 F sport with premium and 40,000 miles. I love it and here in Florida where it is flat land … it is great. Upkeep and gas is so minimum … I love it! Great video❤

[@edobiotec]

Bulls##t.... I've got both, a 2018 ct and my wife an 2016 Auris. Despite the same power train, they are different cars. my ct is more reactive in every situation, chassis and stability is way better, let loose the look. Ct Chassis had been updated and suspension made less stiff then older versions. Both beautiful cars, but lexus is way more premium and fun to drive, auris more relaxed, soft suspensions and comfortable for short people.

[@expressdotpc]

ct200 is a Prius! Avoid!

[@stevenhearnden6103]

That paddle for the infotainment system was removed from 2017 models onwards.

[@vitorabuzin6274]

Better then Audi???? Lexus vs Audi???? Audi is overated plastic German shit
