Mileage is the best i ever had in a car.

Ease of use for this car and is the best i ever had in my entire life. I will definitely buy another.

Dwight H

It is the best jeep out there, especially in its day.

Like the size and gas mileage. Also like the handling. Pick-up could be better, and the sound system is an embarrassment.

Dave W

A luxury Prius, without compromising mileage.

Car is basically a luxury upgrade to a Prius. The seats, paneling, ride and appointments are all significantly improved over the Prius without sacrificing any of the high-mileage capability. Steering is precise, pick-up is adequate in sports mode, and the car is extremely reliable.

Cheryl T

Nice driving, love the handling in the sports package

Love the space and economy. However, gas mileage is not as good as expected

Erin P

Experience Lexus mpg in style.

I love the simplicity, yet sleek and sporty elegance of the ct200h. This car is comfortable and handles beautifully, all while getting 40 mpg. The sound system is crisp and clear. I have yet to have any issues with the car and look forward to many more miles with it!

Monica C

It's a hybrid, high quality, great to drive and overall a good car to own.

Love that it is a hybrid and eco-friendly! It drives smoothly and I love the hatchback! Great car!

Jaymie K

Why this is an ok car to buy.

It is a smooth car and does not frequent gas, but the sound system is extremely weak. It is also hard to figure out the aux cord stuff so that is confusing. It also smells funny and I have had it for over 3 years. Overall it is an ok car, but would definitely upgrade it if I had the chance.

Matt E

Best luxury affordable car ever

It's really great and fantastic and drives really well and has lots of cup holders. Drives smooth and goes really fast and really fast. It also has a really cool sunroof that is automatic and opens and can let the cool refreshing outdoor air into the vehicle which definitely ups the experience of driving when the weather is really nice.

Amy G

It is a good family car for traveling.

My vehicle is a Lexus ct year 2016 it is a good car especially if you have a family and kids it has a good amount of miles and the gas isn't too expensive it is a good price to fill up, it also has a sunroof if you want to see the sky and get natural lighting from the top.

A luxury Prius, without compromising mileage.

Cassidy L on October 24, 2020

Cute compact car with amazing gas mileage!

This car is wonderful! It is small enough to be a compact car, but it also fits quite a bit! I have had no engine issues, and all the appliances work great! The car seat adjusts perfect and the steering wheel is also able to be adjusted. Bluetooth and an aid cord are also included. I love this car!

Pros from Owners

Dave W.

High mileage and enough luxury to feel really special. The interior is beautiful, and best of all, everything works all the time. Love getting 40 MPH plus, especially when gas prices spike. Also, it is small and maneuverable, enabling me to park in tight spots.

Dave W.

Outstanding gas mileage, excellent handling, and sufficient power for all road conditions encountered in northern ca. Just enough luxury to let you know you are in a Lexus, such as deeply padded seats, premium leather trim, and excellent road dampening.

Allison R.

Great gas mileage, small and compact car on the road, runs smoothly on the road and has excellent tire control. Also has excellent turn control. Very price friendly options as well, including different packages according to a person's liked or needs.

Cons from Owners

Dave W.

The audio system should be better. I got the stock audio, and it is no better than an AM radio in an older car. The fault is not in the speakers, though I did have a subwoofer added, but all in the electronics. The stock amp and receiver are just terrible, and absolutely mandated getting an aftermarket upgrade.

Dave W.

The leg room in the driver position is insufficient for anyone over 6' on a trip longer than 2 hours. Also the sight lines out of both rear corners are extremely poor, traffic in either lane following the vehicle are completely obscured. Finally, the sound system which is stuck with the car is woefully deficient, a throwback to cars from the 1970's, it is embarrassing to have this in a Lexus.

Allison R.

Cons include that it is a very small car so when I had my baby, it didn't quite fit the car seat and the stroller together. It also has battery issues including both the regular battery and the hybrid battery/ they both go out after a certain amount of miles.
