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

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.

@@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.

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.

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.

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.
