Lexus CT 200h

"Acceleration was typical for an electric car... but being a Lexus, one expects better, and it's disappointing."

"Very sporty and seem to hold road well in dry conditions. Drives poorly in winter, snowy conditions, even with snow tires"

"Very good."

"I half expected it to be slow off the mark since it's a hybrid, but it accelerates just fine and zips up hills with no problem. No problems merging into traffic on expressway."

"Quite acceptable, in general, however extreme road-noise. Its too low to get in or out in many situations because of the height of sidewalks. MPG has a problem in that it discriminates. My wife gets 48 and I can't get above 44mph!"

"The CT-200h F-Sport does not get enough credit for the cornering and handling. My other cars are a BMW 3-series and Toyota MR2. The CT F-Sport can easily out corner both. The anti-roll dampener does a great job and I know of no other cars besides F-Sports which have it."

"This car can move out quickly at speed for passing on country roads. Moves like any other performance car. Like to use the 'sport' setting when needing that instant power."

"It handles like a sports car, especially in the power mode."

"Acceleration is excellent. I didn’t expect that in a hybrid. Handling and response is excellent. It is fun to drive and feels very safe in its handling."

"Handles and accelerates well. Not great visibility with lots of blind spots. Rear camera view is on rear view mirror which makes it difficult to see clearly."

"Acceleration is quite slow. Modern hybrids get better fuel economy and are faster. Handling is responsive and it is fun to hustle along a winding road, as long as fast acceleration is not required."

"Handles well, but my Prius would easily beat it in a race. Car's style and its performance are completely mismatched."

"The CT 200h handles well; it has good brakes and is capable of averting sudden hazards. Acceleration is terrible from a stop, however once you get going, as on the freeway, the acceleration is excellent."

"I LOVE driving this car in the city. It is much less satisfactory on the highway. It is way too small inside for a "family " roadtrip."

"Our car has the F Sport handling package. It does its job well, giving the car accurate steering and great handling making the car fun to drive."

"Considering it’s a hybrid, this car drives like a sports car especially when engaging then “sports mode‿ - this car eliminates all of the downfalls of driving a hybrid car (compared to Civic hybrid previously owned)"

"I bought the Lexus, which is a hybrid, to offset the horrendous MPG I get on the BMW, which is a performance car. As such, I don't expect the Lexus to have hot performance. It handles and accelerates better than any other hybrid on the market."

"The CT200H Fsport has excellent handling on turns and going around curves. The media road tests do not give it the credit it deserves."

"Responsive steering and good acceleration for merging into traffic"

"In normal gear, it is a bit slow acceleration. In sport mode, it has great acceleration. The car answers the wheel very responsively. It has good balance and a good ride."

"Because it’s a small car, it handles quickly. I feel like the car was built for me!"

"poor acceleration. Engine makes a lot of noise but it doesn't but not much else happens."

"Overpriced for value new. Not very comfortable on long ride. Handles poorly in snow even with Michelin snow tires. Brakes sometimes skip when braking on hill. Was told it was because it's a hybrid vehicle. First year I did not get very good gas mileage . Low 20's and was frustrated. Only drive 4-5000 miles a year, so it was not broken in yet! Now with 16,000 miles, I am finally getting anywhere from 43 - 51 mpg which is great, but took 3 years to get there."

"Back seat leg room is very limited!"

"Passenger seat needs better lower back support. It sinks too low for maximum comfort."

"We've owned three hybrids (CMax, Prius, CT 200h) This is hands down the most comfortable to drive around in. Seats are comfortable. electronic adjustments work well (addition of seat position memory/presets would be nice). This cabin is also much more quiet, and there are no blind spots. ON THE OTHER HAND - the C-Max and the Prius both have much larger cargo areas. CT 200-h works great for groceries and big-box-store-trips, but for for Home depot or Ikea home project-type trips, the other two"

"My partner (male) bought this car without me. I hate this car. The passenger seat presupposes someone 6 feet tall and does not electronically adjust. When I drive it, it is practically PAINFUL to reach behind me to grab the seat belt. As I said, I hate this car."

"Driver seat does not slide back very far, driver has limited head room to look out at the outside mirror... I have to duck my head to see into the mirror or check to the immediate rear."

"Feel every bump. Tires seem very small so every bump is a big one."

"Stiff ride"

"The CT 200h is well appointed and looks more expensive than the sticker price - wish they had continued to produce this model."

"Noise factor is okay, but the ride is somewhat harsh and not cushy enough, especially on rough roads."

"Feels like a cheap car. Super loud inside when driving, small seats, sad acceleration and power."

"Easy to get in and out"

"It's a very nice car, but the back seats are just not very comfortable, and it's kind of dark in there."

"ride is poor,seats are fine but it is not a lexus. Its a prius with a lexus name on it."

"The CT 200h is very noisy for a Lexus. It rattles over every bump and does not have a smooth ride at all. The engine is also very noisy, infringing on the quiet of the cabin. The seats however are very comfortable and easily adjusted."

"Seats are good for people shorter than 6 feet and under 180 lbs. Tolerable but not great for 6'2" 220 pound me."

"great memory seats and smooth ride for a smaller car"

"Confotrable ride, low noise level, very comfortable seats that wrap around you."

"The six-way power seats are a feature used by the two drivers for their own personal satisfaction. Also, the lumbar adjustment is a nice feature."

"Excellent value."

"Excellent car."

"Although I'm not getting the mpg that were quoted, I do have better gas mileage than with any other car I've owned. I wish the dealer that sold me the car had told me that to get the best gas mileage, I would need to change my driving habits by accelerating slower and watching tthe instruments to make sure that I drive using the battery"
