  • 2017 Lexus CT200h Review featuring a Certified Pre-Owned or CPO model. The Lexus CT200h is no longer being produced and the 2017 CT200h is the last model year of the Lexus CT200h. See my Lexus HS250h Review here: • 2010 Lexus HS 250h Rev...
    The Lexus CT200h is the successor to the HS250h and the Lexus UX replaces the CT200h today. I appreciate the driver-focused feel the CT200h which is rare for a hybrid. The primary deficiency with the Lexus CT is the lack of space which will be elaborated in the full review.

So maybe my "sports car" requirements are probably different than yours. And most city vehicles are sub 100hp here in Europe so this is quite decent in performance.

    My wife has a used one. A 2012. We’ve had it for three years now. She bought it with 75,000 miles and it has 128,000 miles on it presently. We’ve had very good luck with it and the only thing that is left us stranded with it was when she accidentally ran it out of gas. She just made it through a blizzard with it. It’s been a great car for us. 10/10 definitely would recommend.

    Just lost my C class Benz in a T-bone, and in 2024 premium gas is still $5.49 a gallon where I live. Hence my interest in a quality made, good handling car that gets 43mpg. My research says their CVT is the best ever built and virtually unbreakable. Entire car is rated equally high by multiple testing sources.

    I own a 2011 CT 200 H. It has 140,000 miles and has been trouble free; in fact, I just replaced the rear struts for the first time last month. The front brakes lasted 50,000 miles and the rear brakes lasted 90,000. Only complaint… It has the acceleration of my old 1974 VW beetle. Sport mode helps a little bit.

    This is by far the most popular lexus selling in Europe and I was really curious about your thoughts on this car cuz all the other reviews over here say that this car is crap cuz of the cvt and the lack of sportiness which this doesn't try to have, this segment is still popular here and the rivals of this car are diesels that use more fuel, have less power and don't even remotely come close to this car interior yet they cost the same on the used market cuz nobody buys lexus over here. Was not disappointed with your review you actually make the effort to format yourself to the type of car your reviewing and focus on what their built for and not the numbers, keep the good work

    • @MeynMotorGroup

      Yes I can see it being popular in Europe well actually Europe doesn't even get a lot standard Gas only engines that are offered in the states. And good point you brought up, amongst 80-90 HP diesel compacts, this all of a sudden looks like a rocket in comparison lol

      @@MeynMotorGroup I'm giving you an example, the a class hatchback base model has 90hp from a Renault 3 cyl diesel or some shit but they have a lot of trim levels and even in diesel you can get almost 200hp but the major difference is on the interior, germans cut out interior quality to keep prices competitive lexus simply puts the same old quality in it without cheapin out, you see a CT in 500 a classes here. Yes we don't get the v6s here, there's no way the average Joe can daily drive a 3.5litre engine with this gas prices the only cars running gas you can see here is those 1 liter 3 cyl and other smalls engines.

    The short answer is YES. These are among the best cars ever produced. It's a travesty that they didn't offer them with the Toyota Matrix engine and AWD drivetrain. They would have flown out the doors. The good part about Toyota's failure of marketing team is that they are fairly unknown and inexpensive to pick up. I bought one smashed in the front from auction with 6K miles on it back in 2016 for $11K, invested about $4000 to fix it and it now has about 80K miles on it and runs like a top. I'm seriously considering getting one with no motor and swapping a Prius Prime electric drivetrain in it. There was a company that had a method of hacking the Prius computer that allowed EV mode at all speeds and they were getting a tested average of around 100MPG with the hack in place. Sadly, the Internet has been stolen by big tech companies and the government and now it is pretty much dead. There isn't really anywhere to get uncensored knowledge anymore.

    When you were flooring it did you have it in sport mode? Sport mode makes a HUGE difference in power. I keep mine in eco since I noticed I get almost 400 miles on 8 gallons when i keep it in eco but I'll put it in sport when I'm trying to overtake cars on the highway or accelerate on an empty highway and have no issue with power, feels super sporty in sport mode. Only thing i really hate about this car is the rear passenger room and the hideous stock stereo. I found a really good looking touch screen carplay stereo replacement that I love though.

    She loves it and if she could get it through the front door I am sure she would take it to bed with her.
    The ONLY thing that has ever been done apart from regular maintenance was to replace the 12Volt battery.
    We have only had to replace one tire which was damaged by a broken kerb stone, the rest of the original tires are in very good condition.
    I have a few questions:
    Should we sell it, trade it or keep it.
    What is the life of the traction battery likely to be?
    We have had NO PROBLEMS and the traction battery seems to work perfectly.
    Oh yes it’s white without the Navigation option.
    Considering it is based on the Prius which is arguably one of the ugliest cars ever made, the CT is the CUTEST small car ever.
    One more thing, my wife’s car has the original small radiator grill not the HIDEOUS SHARKS MOUTH GRILL that all Lexus have now.

    please make a video on whats the difference between a normal one and an fsport. and how should you detect if a non fsport model is moded into fsport just to grab you more money..
    also... is it worth buying one of this for 15k euros with 120.000km¿

    Just bought a nebula grey and parchment 2017 ct200h with 14000 miles in Denver CO, so far I love it, I've gotten fuel effiency up to 50 mpg and it really is a great car. Paid about 21000 for it because of the low mileage which I think is about fair. It's a neich market that's for sure. This is my first car though, at 16, and it's sporty looking without being fast so my parents weren't afraid I would rack up tickets and with sport mode it just handles so well and is just fun to drive. I highly recommend!
