Lexus Prius?! 2015 CT 200h F Sport Review

[@urntwrthyZ]

I bought a 2016 CT a few years ago. At first I lamented the lack of acceleration, but after I actually drove the car in my daily rush hour commutes to and from my office, that feeling rapidly dissipated. Even in Eco mode I have zero issues keeping up with the flow of traffic and that is driving the car normally...I am far from a hypermiler. At the same time I'm getting a steady 43 mpg. This car took the place of a Nissan Z. I don't want to say replaced as you don't replace a 2 seater sports car with a vehicle equipped with a Prius drivetrain,) but I used to avoid using the Z for my daily commutes due to its manual transmission and I certainly wasn't going to be able to let it "exercise its legs" on the way to work. The CT has been a very pleasant addition...quality interior, very planted handling, nice styling and absolute reliability.

I wish they would've put the 2.0 turbo engine and made a CT200t I feel like that would have sold very well

[@KirkKreifels]

That would have cool. Even the 200hp hybrid system in the es300h would have been enough

[@AHMEDMOOSAJI]

Can't agree more That was the main reason it never sell well It had so much potential It has the looks that's it's fast but doesn t perform

[@Platelunchexpress]

Right. 1.8 is not enough. Very sluggish...what a shame

[@finnatticus8794]

You all prolly dont care at all but does any of you know of a tool to get back into an instagram account..? I stupidly forgot the account password. I would love any tips you can give me!

This is what you get if you want to own a Prius but don’t want anyone to know you own a Prius.

[@ThatJerkFromCali]

Because a prius is like a fat chick. They are fun to ride but you don't want your friends to see you in them

[@ordersnsubscriptions]

Best commuter whip. They need to bring it back asap.

[@KirkKreifels]

The UX is taking it's place! Although I don't think it will be quite as efficient...but you'll get more power and AWD as a result

[@DisneyMusicVideos]

I'm typically not a huge fan of hatchbacks, always have bought sedans & will probably continue to do so for a very long time, currently own a 2016 GS350 F-Sport that I just bought a couple months ago, but I've always loved the styling of these cars, even more so than the UX. Lexus could've added a lot more power which would of made these cars much more desirable.

[@ram89572]

dang I really wish I knew this existed before I bought my used Prius V earlier this year. This is so much cooler looking. I would miss having the giant digital speedo, but this is a Lexus that actually looks cool to me. Most of them are just meh typical luxury car

[@LeLe-vo7md]

What about the Lexus UX?

[@ram89572]

@@LeLe-vo7md Looks nice enough on the outside, but I'm not a big fan of the subcompact crossover form factor. The interior also looks cramped for anyone who isn't built like a 10 year old. The main reason I wouldn't have gotten one though is the prices. Too expensive for a car. I already had a payment every month on a van I use for work so I was limited in how much more I could afford to take on safely. But more than that if I'm going to spend 30 grand on a vehicle, it is going to be on a truck. Trucks can actually work for you. Cars are just transportation and thus should be cheap. That's how I view them at any rate. Of course I've also had a truck since I was 15 so I exclusively drove that truck for half my life and only in the past few of years have gotten cars so maybe I'm biased from personal history.

[@pineneedlez]

Accurately commented. I am owning one. Very good quality car

[@omarotz1able]

I just purchased the exact same model today and I really like it

[@KirkKreifels]

Congratulations!

[@liamcamlin1435]

Nice video keep up the grind

[@KirkKreifels]

Thanks Liam. I have some options today for reviews :)

[@Trades46]

It drives very well and has nimble handling, but honestly the weakest link is that 1.8L Hybrid drivetrain. Yes the MPG is good but 134hp is just not enough, especially the F sport variant. In a way, the Audi A3 Sportback e-tron was really what the CT200h should have been.

[@slayer1129]

How roomy is it compared to a 2009 is 250 for the driver and passenger? I love this car, but i dont think i could go smaller than what the IS 250 has to offer.

[@thatguyjimbo]

If anyone is looking to purchase a aftermarket radio for this vehicle it is very limited on the options you may have, and it may need modification. Nobody sells a radio trim kit for this vehicle. I'm in the process of getting a aftermarket unit overseas with many previous owners who installed them and haven't had any issues.

[@87steaks]

I understand what he meant at the end. I agree. I really like this car.

[@vkhiev]

I love my ct200h wish it's at least 160hp for adequate power

[@lifeofcoby]

I can boldly say you’re a Lexus guy 😆.....

[@vvovvomg]

Just picked up a used one today after looking for a new car for a couple months. Coming from an old 07 Civic Si. Thanks for the review!

[@KirkKreifels]

It's a great car! Congratulations

[@FirstLast-mb9fq]

Your now going to be in eternal conflict between Honda and Lexus. GG. :D

[@stevencorbo1220]

Really wish they would have given a little more horsepower somehow brought it up to 180-190 HP with a supercharger for the f sport model as there is one out there with a supercharger pushing over 300 horsepower the funny thing is the 300 horsepower version is getting 44mpg

[@nino7794]

Super car

[@ruemonbhattacharyya7730]

Nice car but 220 horses would make it so much more fun!

[@KirkKreifels]

220 hp in this car would roast the front wheels hahaha...so yes much more fun in that regard.

[@ruemonbhattacharyya7730]

LEXUriouS Kirk oh whoops I thought it was awd

[@FirstLast-mb9fq]

@@KirkKreifels Type R handles 300hp just fine.

[@tordatfalviciprian5775]

u can go for for a is or gs

[@bsu1960]

Great review. I understand the interface you describe More involvement with everything that’s available In participation of amazing Lol sorry thinking of the LC 500 review made me laugh Thank you

[@stevenoiwa3534]

Hi! I have a question about the safety system. Why nobody I mean nobody talk about this. Is true Lexus CT200h F SPORTS have a free traffic and weather,Siri eye free , Pre-collision, radar cruise control, intuitive parking assistance.is all the safety system comes with car? I also looking for 2017 CT200H F SPORTS color is dark Gray or white color with low mileage. Do you seen or have. Please, please reply to my questions. Thank you

[@KirkKreifels]

I haven't seen any F Sport Ct's lately. They're out there but hard to find. All UX have lexus safety system plus 2.0 standard.

[@tordatfalviciprian5775]

mine doesent have and its a F sport white 2016

[@LaplacianFourier]

Do you talk in Lexus fonts?

[@kuromurasaki5273]

Is it a proper ecvt that holds rpm steady or does it have artificial shift points for people that don’t understand cvt? How much more rough does the f-sport suspension make the car versus not having it? I plan to sell my 29k mile RX-8 Shinka for one at some point. I wouldn’t floor this car much, I’ve gotten regularly 60+ mpg in an 05 civic hybrid cvt. I’d assume I’d get the same with this. I’ve done the high rpm stuff with the rotary, now I just want mpg and comfort. Don’t like the 14+ non foldable high display trend in newer cars; feels/looks cheap. I’ll probably go with a 11-13 model because of it.

[@KirkKreifels]

It doesn't simulate gears if my memory is correct. So similar to a Prius. F sport didn't feel any different. Looks different however. Thanks for watching

[@illduitmyself]

luxury hybrid...im buying one wish it was AWD

[@汤志珩]

where is your plant number?

[@joonapuro8055]

Lexus auris, not prius!

[@JayYarbroughMusic]

You lost me at "The Bebes"

[@kenzicake3696]

😂

[@boci11]

Better of buying a fully loaded Prius or Prius V, this Lexus looks too small .

[@bhyphen8234]

Has more rear seat head and leg room due to the flat roof. Better ergonomics all around

[@04dram04]

nice car, but this f sport is such a poser trim. lol

[@KirkKreifels]

Totally! It usually looks better though

[@garyscoop]

Hd mirror lol

[@joeherrjr]

I’d rather have a full electric and no sound than the awful CVT sound.

[@KirkKreifels]

Nissan leaf or Tesla is your answer. 😉

[@BSABD315]

mazda speed 3 with a lexus badge. real original,

[@04dram04]

um no
