The biggest reason to own this car is the gas mileage. It gets 39-41 miles per gallon highway and city combined. It's extremely nice to pay less than half the cost my Infiniti M35 would take to get the 400-mile range of the CT. If you don't have a need for extreme acceleration, the car is perfect -- except for the one major negative mentioned later: the space in the backseat.

Over the last 5 years I've owned, operated, and took care of my 2013 Lexus CT200h. It hasn't given me any real maintenance issues over those 5 years so I really have no complaints there. I've really only brought the car in for regular service maintenance. The performance of the car is so-so, it is a hybrid and I didn't expect it to be a sports car at all. The car looks good (to me) and that's what really drew the car to me.
