The seats are extremely small for an adult male, they seem designed with women in mind or very small men. Gas mileage is great and I love the rear view camera that appears in the mirror. It does not accelerate very quickly even in sport mode but is a comfortable ride at least. Hatchback helps with cargo space.

The pros and cons of EV mode
I really enjoy the option of switching between eco mode, sport mode, and the EV mode. It saves a ton on gas when driving in the eco or EV mode. However, I've found it frustrating that in EV mode I cannot accelerate at all and the mode gets disabled if I go 25 mph or faster.

Awesome luxury hybrid in compact sporty hatchback form.
This is a luxury hybrid, compact sports car. It has 3 modes, eco, normal, and sport. The base model does not have GPS or touchscreen interface. It does have Bluetooth phone and audio, and it has USB and aux connect. The hatch does not open automatically like the newer models. There is no hatch release on key fob. It is push button start. I really enjoy this car very much. It has high performance value and is a great option if you want a hybrid but want luxury too.

Great efficient sports like car!
This car saves a lot of gas! Comfortable, easy to drive, quiet, goes into sports mode. Easy car and compact. Not only does it save on gas, it is pretty sporty looking, especially the lights. My husband drives it to work and helps a lot with saving money.

Great on gas and gets around town easily.
I love my car, it is great on gas and easy to drive. The negatives- I wish the premium package came with better trim and the car had better horsepower! I really have to press on the gas to go 65 mph. I also noticed how loud it is on the road. It is not a quiet or comfortable drive if you are traveling more than 20 min.

I like the user interface joystick for the infotainment system.
The car is comfortable, nice amount of space for driver and front seat passenger leg room, good features for base model, gas mileage could be better for a hybrid, cargo space could be bigger, navigation is not user-friendly, back seat space very small.

It's clean, it runs smove, and it's always clean.
It runs perfect just something wrong with door handle, radio doesn't work and the light inside of the car does not work either it comes on sometimes it would be nice to sell to someone. Its all white with new tires and brand new tail lights. I think anyone would be lucky to drive it.

Fun, sporty hybrid vehicle.
This car has been great. I have had no mechanical problems with it and it gets 43 miles per gallon. It drives very smoothly and handles well. The interior is comfortable although can be small for large people. Outside look is very sporty and paint has maintained well.

A good value for the price.
It is very low to the ground. It does not have a backup camera. It is very reliable. Regular maintenance is expensive. It is easy to drive. I like that it has 3 modes: sport, normal, economy. It is very fun to drive in sports mode.

Pros and cons of the Lexus.
It is a very dependable car. The seats actually make you feel at times like you are being loaded into an Apollo spacecraft, but the gas mileage is very good. The bright lights are very powerful and easily make your view at night to be much better. The dual settings allow the passenger and driver to have more comfort without detracting from the other.

Great color combo and inside features.
This has been the best car I have owned. It has been super dependable, I have only done routine maintenance on it. The interior still looks great after 9 years of solid use. You cannot beat the gas mileage. The features that came with the car are all I need.

It's fuel efficiency is the most important thing
It is very fuel efficient. It looks very sleek. But it of course lacks torque as it is a hybrid.

First time Lexus buyer, couldn't be happier!
So far I haven't had any problems with the engine or performance. I knew it was a hybrid and I purchased it mostly for the gas mileage so it does not have a very large engine but I do not mind it very much. It is extremely comfortable on the inside with little to no road noise. The seats can be sat in for hours and with the back seats lowered it has a ton of space for the size of the car. Very satisfied with it and hope to drive it for at least 7 more years.

The perfect vehicle for me.
I have had no problems with my Lexus which I have owned for nine years. The only things that I have replaced are the battery and the tires. My experience with this Lexus, my first, makes me want to buy only Lexus vehicles. This car is reliable and perfect for my needs. I get excellent gas mileage. Fit of the trim is superb.

It drives beautifully and it has very high gas mileage.
I love how my car drives; it is very smooth and comfortable. It is also quiet and has great gas mileage. I also love the look of my car. The only complaint could be that it is a little small.

It's great on gas. I thought I couldn't drive fast or on the freeway on eco mode but you can and WILL save money.
I love the color of my car. I love how efficient it is on gas. I love how smoothly it drives and it's a great size for me personally. I only dislike the fact that its so low to the ground that it ends up getting scraped with deep dips in the street.

Lexus ct200h - great car for efficiency and fun.
The Lexus ct200h is one of the best autos I have owned. It is perfect size for me at 5 foot 1 inch, and my husband at 6 foot 2 inch does not mind riding in it at all, although he prefers not to drive. Everyone who's ridden in it loves it. I get great gas mileage, and has a “sport” mode when needed. Passenger and cargo areas are ample.

Lexus hybrid plus sunroof.
I love the fact that it is a hybrid because I have a back up. I can use the battery if I am about to run out of gas. It is a very comfortable car. If there’s not enough trunk space you can put the car seat down plus my car has a sunroof which is awesome.

When you park the car, do not forget to hit the start button to turn it off.
I like the push start button and the gear shift. I don't really care for how small the backseat is and the fact there are no cupholders in the back. The gas mileage is fantastic! I couldn't ask for a better car.

So quite and gas friendly
Hello critics, I bought my first hybrid Lexus 3 months ago used through Shift in San Francisco. The car is ridiculously quiet on the startup which took some getting used to, but as a good thing. The immediate reaction is the joyful feeling that your car is using minimal energy and consuming less gas. The car is compact and excellent for the city. There is a bit of nudging to get the car to kick gears onto the freeway, but a cautious driver is a safe driver.

Cute little car with many great features.
It is too low to the ground. It does not have a backup camera. I like the color (red) and the leather seats. It is pretty comfortable and easy to drive. I like the hatchback feature. It has a sunroof that I enjoy. I like that it has three modes: sport, normal and economy. It is a hybrid so I save on gas.

It's a hybrid with a ton of interior space. It is quite sporty in sport mode.
It's cute, sporty, and roomy. I wish it was easier to find replacement rear wiper blades.

Small car but it has space when you put the sits down may things could fit
I have never had a problem with my car. One time they called for a recall to fix the airbags and they treated me very well. Let us use a car while they fix it. I love the navigation system really easy to used. Another thing I love is that has heated seats I live in a state that is very cold and it's so useful. It had a back up camera

Great car as far as looks and comfort, but not in affordability.
The car is very reliable and has been in the family for as long as it is lifespan. It is very comfortable with leather seats and reclining options as well as a sunroof. The music console could be updated (no AUX cord input). When there are problems with the car it is hard to get fixed or get pieces because Lexus is so specialized.

Sporty and practical car!
The car drives well and has a great sound system. I am impressed with how well it has held up with extreme heat and cold. I would however like for the backseat to have more room as well as some larger trunk space. Overall I would recommend this purchase!
