Used Lexus CT 200h for Sale

From the first moment, I loved the shape of the vehicle. It's sporty, coupe-like exterior drew me in, and the logo only made me more sure of the value of my purchase. I have owned this car for two years now, from 45,000 miles to 90,000. I have driven across states with it and in town. It has never broken down, never made a funny noise, and has never been short of reliable. In the city, the car easily gets at least 40mpg. On the freeway, usually closer to 35mpg. Either way, I generally get 375 miles out of 8.5 gallons (out of a 12-gallon tank), which has never cost me more than $25 to refill. I never fear the prices at the gas station with this vehicle: it's a luxury hybrid that doesn't require premium grade fuel. The only thing I dislike about this car is the size. It is very small--two people and their bags easily fill the car up. However, the small size is what makes it so economical and sporty. Heads up for all new, first-time hybrid shoppers: before this car, I was like you. I had never driven a hybrid car before. Take my word for it, driving a hybrid vehicle is completely different than driving a standard petroleum one. Hybrids have regenerative braking. The sounds of the brakes...it's not annoying, nor extremely loud. But you can hear them! It almost sounds like a small "whoosh." Regenerative brakes are awesome. My car is six years old and still has brakes comparative to those of a brand new vehicle.

The Lexus CT200h I received was Matador Red. It was purchased in 2012 as a second car, one that can get to and from work without an issue. The car has many great features, but many things that need/needed fixing. The car is horrible in almost all weather, the car has horrible tires and does not grip the ground very well. Besides the weather complaint, I have never had another problem with the car. Lexus is a great brand and they did a great job getting the car 45MPG. It is a very fun car to drive, and has sport, eco and normal mode. It is very fun to drive in both normal and sport mode, the eco mode, as you can infer is very boring. The car is quite quick for a hybrid, faster than I could have imagined before purchasing it. The car has a roomy interior, and made with some of the best products on the market. The interior on this car, cannot be matched by any competitor hybrids. I would recommend this vehicle to anyone that is a good driver because it is very difficult to use in rain/snow.

I like how the ride handles; the suspension is somewhat firm but forgiving. I like how smooth the acceleration is, but if you need to, you can put it into sport setting for extra acceleration. I also like how the car looks from the outside. I don't like that for a hybrid car, I only average about 35 or 40 mpgs. I also don't like that the lithium batteries will need to be replaced after 10 years or so.
