How can anyone expect this car to be sporty. It’s for someone who wants something cool looking, but keeping it economical.
I’m very happy with my 2017 with only 15,000 miles

Ever drive one? Slow but corners REAL NICE
Just wondering if you ever drive one? It handles like a sports car but slower. And 43 mpg what's not to love. Just bought one. Slow but corners wonderfully
True. Do not expect to be the first on the light but it’s commuter best reliable friend.
Loving the old school montage, music and directing of this video! It’s 2024 and I wish people would make their videos more like this.
Wow! This is an oldie, but a goodie in our portfolio of videos. So happy you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!
Great little car. Looks sporty gets great MPG. Will be very reliable and its a Lexus. A winning package if you ask me. I also think its one of the best looking hatchbacks ever made
+Toyota4Life We liked the styling, too, Toyota4Life. And the fuel economy was definitely a plus. As always, thanks for watching!
That’s the thing, it LOOKS sporty, but doesn’t back it up.
@@tune2gr3is82 you only made yourself come off as a complete asshole and dense. Great job! You're in luck though, There's a new surgery being done in Colorado, the surgeons will do a great job making your obvious thick skull a bit more thin. :)
Tune 2GR 3is - there’s many extremely fast hybrids, you know.
I have never been more informed or entertained looking at car reviews. Thanks for the input.
Finally found a CT200h review that was worth watching. Thanks so much.
We appreciate your comments, Harley James! Thanks for watching.
Racists a hole
I have a 2012 model, and have been very pleased with the performance and my mileage is usually in the mid 40's for mpg. The exterior looks brand new.
+Richard Cutler Sounds nice, Richard Cutler. And mid 40's mpg is pretty good. Thank you for sharing and for watching!
How's the reliability / how are the repair and maintenance costs?
That's excellent!!!
Mikey D'Angelo All Lexus car runs forever sir.
Why does my hybrid Lexus only give me 25 mpg
Thanks for the video. There actually are rear air vents in the CT. They are located under the driver & passenger seats. If you adjust the front seats all the way forward, you will see them on the floor.
Just picked up a 2013 luxury package with 47,000 miles for 15,800. Couldn't be happier with the car, great interior plenty of power for city driving, great sound system. The combination of incredible gas mileage and luxury interior is hard to beat!
How are you still liking it? thinking of getting a 2014 with 42k for 15,990.
Nice review! Tx! Just bought a 2016 and we love it!
I own the base model, lovely as the time passes, plush interior, nice handling, great fuel economy and no shudder and noise, like most compact diesels here in Europe. The picture with the inline skates reminded me to buy a pair of rollerblades and start doing it again.
Hopefully, you've rollerbladed more recently than Chris had when he put his on, connectorxp. LOL We should have taken more video of it. Thank you for your comments and for watching!
This car is so intriguing to me. I think they nailed the looks and it's one of my favorite vehicles on the road when I see them. I'm a fan of hatchbacks in general. I just wish they made it in a non-hybrid and/or manual transmission that could add some fun to the looks.
Yea, this car with a 240+hp motor be very fun for sure...should have made that option.
I'm happy I saw this video, because I want to buy a hybrid car. Now I know what to buy. Thanks a lot!
I've just bought a 2014 with just 17k miles on it. Pick it up this week. I've heard very little negative about this car from anyone that owns one. I'm looking forward to getting behind the wheel in mine.
Nice guy. Very charismatic. Please keep him doing this.
+Jovem Ambicioso Thank you very much, Jovem Ambicioso. We would typically make a joke about Chris (our presenter), but today we think we'll agree with you.

I just bought a Lexus CT 200h a couple days ago and Its everything you want in a hybrid. Sexy style, great handling, and decent cargo space. I would say if these qualities are important to you than the CT is a must! Love this car!
Thanks for sharing and watching, Bleys Simmonds. Enjoy your car!
I test drove this car a week ago and I never once thought it needed more horsepower. Those 134 HP feel like 200 to me, it is a damn good car.
Tom K A lot of people have the same sentiments, Tom K. Thank you for sharing and for watching!
Bleys Simmonds whats the mpg like 55mpg??
I am crazy abt this car
Thinking to get one soon hope fully
Nice review! I like your style. You stand out in a good way from all the other review channels!
Thank you, Ross Moffitt. We appreciate your comments and thanks for watching!
Nice vid my man... I like you being completely honest! This car is on my list
Thanks for watching, Bobby D!
I got mines preowned for 16k. I love it , good ride. Silent except when you need to put you foot to floor
Good expo girl
I love mine , 2012 Special Edition in the fastest color Gray Nebula. 42mpg yr round 44 in the summer and 40 in the winter months. Also the F-Sports handle like a dream. I run Nokian Hakka R3's for the winter. They transform the CT from bad in the snow to excellent in the snow.
I also have a NX200t F-Sport we love our Lexus's reliability and customer service is the best. - zero issues...
+Tom VanHoesen Sounds like Lexus is all good in your household, Tom VanHoesen. It's good to hear owners' personal experiences. Thank you for sharing and thanks for watching, too!
Lmao “ fastest color” 😂
Thanks for the upload. enjoyed the the review.
+sp1die Thank you for the kind words, sp1die. We're happy you liked our review and thanks for watching!
Even though as a well seasoned Lexus repair technician, I have learned much more about the automaker in this helpful review. School is in session! Oh, & the video game sound bite..... CLASSIC!!
+Joe Peters Ha! Thanks, Joe. The kind words are much appreciated. We know you guys are doing good stuff at AutoCorrect in Alpharetta, GA, too!
i’m obsessed, definitely getting this as my next car in may 😍
Thanks for watching, verynaomi - lifestyle and finance!
Did you get it?
@@mikalrj I did! made a video about it on my channel :)
UK owner, had one of these and it has a very nice interior, steering felt sharp and the ride was indeed comfortable but if you push it, and I mean at all, like setting off from junction or overtaking the engine screams at you and forget living anywhere with hills because that's what you will hear all day. If you live on the geographical equivalent of a pool table where the speed limit is 40mph, it will suit you just fine...
Interesting that he commented on braking. We've driven Toyota/Lexus hybrids for over 15 years and find the braking system amazing. It uses regenerative braking unless you demand heavy braking and also transfers from regenerative to disk braking as you glide to a stop. The transfer is almost imperceptible, which we find impressive.
Rick Lafford how was the performance aspect of this car? I've never had experience with a hybrid style power plant before... I have been considering this model Lexus for a couple of months now.
I kinda fell I love with the CT200H. It’s at the top of my list at the moment. Can’t wait to find one at the right price for me. Great review 👍🏼
We wish you well on your search, Alex Moreno. Thanks for watching!
My parents have a 2011 Prius that I've driven a few times, and I recently test drove a 2012 CT 200h, and to me it felt way better than a Prius, even though they're essentially the same type of car. Lots of similarities, but way different. I've also driven a 2014 LS 460 and I gotta say, besides the obviously big difference in ride smoothness, the CT 200h is extremely similar to even the high end Lexus models. And I love that. So I think I'm gonna get one.
Subscribed by the way! Great video.
+Brad Doan Thank you very much for your support, Brad Doan. We truly appreciate it! As you saw in the video, we were rather impressed by the driving characteristics of the CT and while the powertrain may have some similarities with the Prius, the suspension couldn't be any more different, which is why it drives so differently. In case you haven't seen it yet, Chris did a review of the 2013 Lexus LS 460 F SPORT a number of years ago. (We think it was only the 3rd official review AutoAcademics ever did. Ah, those were the days.) Check it out: czcams.com/video/VRn5dQJfs5M/video.html. Thanks for watching, and again for subscribing!
***** Of course! Always willing to support a car fan!

Great review, Chris!
Thanks for watching, Brian Eldridge!
Good all-round review. Thanks.
Thank you, CarProductsTested!
Your a lot of fun, Chris. You know your stuff as well.
Thank you, Graeme Neville. While we try not to stroke Chris' ego too much, we'll let him know what you said... this time. LOL Thanks for watching!
I know this is a few years late but this is a car and model year I am considering. Great review Chris!
Carlo Garcia did u get it yet?
@@danielcastillejo37 - no I got a Honda Accord Sport
@@The_Notorious_CRG How does it compare to the Lexus? I'm considering the CT for the wife, but am open to other options.

Fantastic car, I've got the F Sport late 2015 model, amazing car, zero road tax here in the UK, £280 per year insurance. WOW. 50mpg all day long, up to 60 on a run at a steady 60-65mph. I've also got the Yaris Hybrid which is fantastic, had Toyota for 16 years, all faultless & IF there is any problem you can rely on Lexus/Toyota to put it right ( unlike other manufacturers ), I think I can comment like this working on cars for the last 30 years, 90% of cars are terrible now, European & mainly German cars are doggy do, terrible unreliable high maintenance expensive cars to run. NO thanks I'll stick with Japanese in Toyota & Lexus. Good video guys.

Wife has a Toyota matrix and we love the reliability of it so we may be doing a look into this lexus due to similar body style and because Toyota.
It’s a great car for me. Fuel is currently $3.34L and I get incredible distance despite paying $100 to fill up. It really sux for large fuel tank cars costing $217 (US$133) to fill up 65L(17gallons) of Fuel.
Excellent sharing,
Thanks for watching!
I forgot to say, I love this guy reviews and this hot hatch looks amazing. if it were a 2.0T with 300hp
+Contane 21 That would be sweet! We appreciate you, as always, Contane 21!
How’s the seating position on this thing? I drove Uber for 6 years in a Prius and the seat posture gave me GERD, believe it or not. I’d like another hybrid but I can’t sink in the chair.
I chose this car over audi a3 ,Marc A class and BMW 1 series .
This looks much Sexy than others
Great review.
Thank you, Derek Long. And thanks for watching, too!
I leased this car 8 months ago, and when this lease is up I will back for a new Lexus, i absolutely love it!!
+Mlegion1988 Many people have the same feelings as you do, Mlegion1988. They truly enjoy the CT. Thank you for sharing and for watching!
It's worth buying, if you keep it serviced it will last forever. I have a 2,000 is200 that looks and drives better than most new cars. I'm going to get an is300 next year and I'll pass the is200 on to my son , I expect it to last another 20 years because it's so well built.
ive had the car for over a year. i rate it 8/10 very bad blind spot though.. i average anywhere from 37 to 43mpg.. i wish they didnt discontinue it.. if they fix the blind spot, add blind spot monitoring and make the monitor bigger and better.. it would rate it 9/10 almost perfect..
im going to be trading it in soon.. the new camry gets 50 mpg..
3:16 that's a quality door sound. Also I hear everybody talk about the CVT drone when you accelerate, is it really that bad? I have a diesel Audi and when I accelerate hard it sounds like a tractor so is that any better? Anyway great review thumbs up from me.
Yeah, those CT 200s do have good door seals, Adam Perkins. While many diesels do sound like tractors under load, the drone from a CVT is different because it never shifts gears. Typically, it sounds like you're running the 4-cylinder engine too hard at a steady 4,000 rpm without ever shifting. Thankfully, many manufacturers are programming artificial shift points in their CVTs to appease those of us who don't care for it. We appreciate your comments. Thanks for watching!
Would you recommend this hatchback for a new driver?
Saw one today!
I have this car.
thank u review!
You are very welcome, NOMAD KYLE.KIM. Enjoy your car and thank you for your comments and for watching!
it is a nice car with much better exterior than Prius. What are the known issues besides the premature failure of coolant pump?
I have a 2013 Cth and it is the best car I've had in the City of Toronto (Last three cars, BMW 535i, BMW 525i, Benz S (1999)).
It's the coolest most efficient car I have had that kills it in traffic. This is a city car that is fun to drive (F Sport) and economical.
Sorry Germany I am hooked on Lexus Hybrid.
Thanks for the post
Thanks for sharing and for watching, Shamsheer G!
I have a 2012 Fsport w 96k miles. It has a minor squeak in the front end when it's cold but other than that it's been perfect. I drive mostly highway and I average 53-55mpg in the summer and abt 47-49 in the cold winter months. Great vehicle.
Btw the Fsport handles as well as my Acura TL S-type.
Thank you for sharing, johnnypk1963. It's always nice to hear from actual owners. Thanks for watching!
My 2012 doesn't have that brake issue. The regenerative to disc transition is nearly seamless. I can hear it when the radio and AC are off, but I can't really feel it unless the rotors are wet.
Thank you for sharing, ytmndan, and thanks for watching, too!
I was really considering going for this, but i bought an Audi A6 instead 2.0 tdi. Out of town I get 5.1 to 6.3 fuel consumption, a little higher if I really push it or high speed highway which will go to about 7.5. My average for 10k km is 8.6 given that in a very crowded city I get from 9 to 14 L/100km, which can be a little on the high side for some people. I am a big fan of the lexus CT, but having so little power was something i really had to consider. 170 hp on a 1.7 ton car is not fast, but it's decent over the CT which is lacking in the performance department. The Is with the 2.5 hybrid is much nicer to drive, but a lot more expensive on the second hand market. I like how they put more power with the new Prius and I expect Lexus to come with higher power as well and even better design, cause the quality it's surely there. In some regards, the interior is better quality than the A6 of 2005-2011 generation, not with the same generation, but pretty damn close. I like it how it also drives very similar to an Audi in terms of overall feeling, like a smaller/low power version of an Audi. Overall nice car for mostly city driving and very reliable in doing so.
Does this car have that smooth Lexus ride? Thanks for the video review!! The scenery is beautiful which city did you shoot this in?
The ride is smooth, Patrick Cowley, but it's tuned more toward the sporty side than the soft and luxurious side of the large LS. Also, we recorded this outside of Atlanta, GA. Hope this helps and thanks for watching!
@@AutoAcademics I really appreciate you letting me know!! Also thanks for letting me know the location, that area is so beautiful and seems perfect for making videos, I need to see more of America. Wishing you all the best these Holidays!!
@@patrickwcowley You're very welcome. And thank you for the warm wishes. Happy holidays to you, too!
I notice you had a baby car seat in the back , but didn't mention it. We are currently in the market for a hatchback commuter car , that can safely and easily transport a young child. We test drove the ct200h today and for the most part were happy with it. Although , in Sport mode , I expected more power than it gave us. What are your thoughts about this car being a daily driver for a Mom and her baby?
Hi, Travels & Chases. Yes, Chris' (our presenter) kids are still in car/booster seats so you'll see them in the videos from time to time. That front facing seat worked fine in the back of the CT 200h. We wouldn't call it spacious, since the seat did have to be moved slightly closer than an average-sized front passenger might like, but it wasn't terrible. Depending upon the size of your car seat, the contour of the rear seats might require a little adjustment during installation and Chris did have to remove the headrest, too, but it wasn't out of the ordinary what for what we've done with other test vehicles. So with all that being said, the car worked fine with the car seats, but if you're looking for something with more power, this is still a traditional hybrid powertrain that focuses on fuel efficiency over all else. The CT 200h handles decently, but the Sport button primarily keeps the car from going into electric mode only. Overall, it would be a fine car for Mom and her baby, so long as she doesn't like to engage in stoplight to stoplight drag races. We appreciate your comments and we hope we were able to help. Thanks for watching!
Enjoyed the review! :)
I'm interested in buying this car used.
How is reliability on older models of the ct?
+Neal Jalal As far as we are aware, the CT200h is a reliable vehicle, Neal Jalal. Its powertrain is based on the Prius, vehicles that have seen very high mileages over the years with minimal issues. You will probably have to contend with some minor wear and tear on interior trim pieces, eventually, but overall the car should be fairly durable. If you have not done so yet, please consider SUBSCRIBING to our channel. We can use all the support we can get. Thank you for the kind words and thanks for watching, too!
+Neal Jalal Older models are almost identical to the newer ones. The only differences are cosmetics and some of the tech stuff. I was able to snag a moderately-equipped 2012 with 18k miles on it for $23k a few months back. I highly recommend going used on the CT.
cheers chris
Looks like a nice car. Appears to me to be a repackaged Prius where the focus on economy has been shifted to luxury and sporty feel for a chunk more money. I just bought a used Prius, and have a 98 ES300. The Prius is not a Lexus but it doubles the mpg. If One were to compare the tire width of a Prius to the CT 200H, there is a huge difference.
Yeah. While both are hybrids, this is a different market than the Prius, Daniel Rose. Although, the newer versions of the Prius are definitely taking steps in the right direction. czcams.com/video/RpOSJE3sROY/video.html Thank you for your comments and for watching!
Besides the VW Golf & GTI, this is the only other hatchback I really like.
Great review - I own a 2013 and the review is spot on in discussing the many pluses and very few minuses the car has. Want to echo the other comment that let's not understate how reliable and trouble free these cars are - peace of mind. Look forward to more reviews.
Thank you for the kind words, Ray O. We appreciate your support!
It's called brake assist. Before I got this car I got a Mercedes with BA and I stopped short the first few times but it's something you get used to.
Nice breakdown!!I need one.
How's the top speed?
Does the vehicle shake at high speed?
At normal highway speeds the car is just fine, SON of Apollo. Didn't drive it much faster than that though. Thanks for watching!
125 miles and then the governor kicks in..
no its doesnt shake at high speeds..
this car is quite a shocker when you take it to autocross events
the chassis holds the speed well through the corners
While the CT 200h is a nice handling car, this is the first time we've heard about someone using it for autocrossing. Nice!
I have the 2011
In a dark bluish gray, I painted the rims red and installed an underglow kit
Also I do landscaping outta my car every now and then
Nice! Thanks for watching, A A!
Your definitely cool with it bro amazing your gangster 😂😂💪👏
Thanks for watching, Leeto!
I've commented on this video before saying that I want this car, and I just got it almost a month ago. I got the 2014 ct200h fsport, and I love it, but there are some downsides to it. The one thing I don't like the most is how loud it is when going uphill. It's really loud and kind of awkward when someone's sitting in your car and the only sound is your car trying to chug up the hill. I also do not like the ports for the USB and cigarette plug. The little door on it is awkward especially if you want to use the cigarette plug because it has to stay open. I personally don't like it because it makes the console look messy and unorganized. There's also only one cigarette plug, which sucks because I wanted to install a dash cam but having the port door open all the time will bug me. I do love driving this car, though. It's so beautiful inside and out (especially with the fsport grille)
Allison Litt did you test drive the trim below it? If so, what's the hp difference? Thinking of getting one of these and I drive a 200hp vehicle and this is a major difference lol
Thanks
How's your gas mileage?
I bought a 2011 I did a engine swap now it makes 317hp it feel nice cruising down the freeway
Mines does the same thing. Like the transmission struggles.
My older brother just got 1.
thanks.
This would be a good car to replace my parents aging Lexus ES 300. They don’t care about how fast it goes , how it handles , or how quick it gets to 60( practically takes forever), so this would be a good fit for them... because they aren’t car enthusiasts.
I was hoping he would have talked more about the CVT transmission.
We've expressed our lack of affection toward the CVT transmission many times in other videos, Eddie Da Silva, so I guess Chris figured he'd give it a rest in this review. As was mentioned, the engine droned under power. Besides that, the transmission performed very similar to other CVTs on the market today, i.e. - good for fuel economy, but not much else in our opinion. Hope this helps. We appreciate your comments and thanks for watching, too!
it should be a law that all vehicles should have rear vents. it is highly needed when our temp reaches 115 dry heat.
I love mine You just hit the stop start button and go
Thanks for watching, Breal1969!
This Is a great car. It looks nice and has that Toyota reliability!!!!
We'll be interested to hear your thoughts on its replacement, AbsoluteMdot. Stay tuned!
Great review man, I have been seriously considering trading in my '17 Jeep Compass Sport for one of these. I've been wanting a 4 door hatchback for some time now. Anybody have any other good recommendations that would be a competitor for this class?
Thank you for your comments C. LeBlanc. And unfortunately, in response to your question, we can't think of any other true hatchbacks from luxury brands, other than BMW's GT models. On the lesser expensive end there are quite a few to choose from, some of which we've reviewed (Veloster, Mazda3, Civic, etc.). Hope this helps and thanks for watching!
Volkswagen Golf R, or GTI.
Also, I'd like to add the VW GTI, and Golf R hold their resale value a little better. This Lexus starts over 30g, but you can pick it up used for near half that now.
As a sports car it's one of the worst options available. As an efficient reliable and comfortable go anywhere vehicle it's gotta be one of the best.
Alex Serrano dunno where u got sports from when it’s aimed at an economically friendly design
136 bhp isnt power for a sports car
i like it i will buy for one
How would this lexus compare to a used audi a3 e-tron?
Just off the top of our heads (i.e. - no hard data to refer to), we think this CT 200h might offer better piece of mind due to the Lexus brand's reliability record, Jeffrey van der Post. We haven't driven an A3 e-tron yet, but we do know that Audis drive very well, in general, so we'd expect nothing different from the e-tron. Sorry we couldn't be of more help, but thanks for watching!
I've watched this video 100 times because I want one but can't have one
Maybe 101 times will be the charm? LOL In all seriousness, Allison Litt, hang in there. If it's something that you want that bad, you'll figure out a way to accomplish it (hopefully, legally, that is). It may take a few sacrifices, but you can make it work. Just keep an eye on the preowned market. Something good that you can work with might just come up. Thank you 100x for watching!
Just got mine w 177k for $7 grand. '12 F sport
Shooter McGavin I’m thinking of getting one today , 2012 161,000 miles for 8,000 what you think ? It’s grey and black leather interior
Alfonso Gonzalez the miles seem kinda high! Is it an f sport?
Allison Litt I Bought it , it’s not F sport but it’s fully loaded, what does f Sport have ?
Nice review man. I'm a college student and I really want a car that is going to be reliable for more than 5 years and a gas saver. I'm thinking between this Lexus CT, the new honda hatchback or Mazda 3 hatchback. I can't decide lol
Well, while the CT will get you good fuel economy, keep in mind the cost of ownership. Owning a Lexus will be slightly more expensive than a Honda or Mazda. Thanks for watching and good luck!
Must be nice having that money to buy new vehicles
Can they be serviced at Toyota dealerships, as I've read? I've got a couple used, in mind but nervous about basic service costs.
BBC ft po

I wish I had money to buy this amazing car

Thee are a steal pre-owned, with very clean, low mile (30k) examples available for $15-20k depending on year.
@@MrTmenzo bro. Right now I'm in mid 2020. I bought a 2016 with 17 k miles for 16k
I gotta ask does any one know the difference between a 2015 and a 2017????
Better fuel mileage
Why youtube recommended this to me in 2023. I don't have any car.. I ride motorcycle
Would you recommend buying a 2011 with 127k mils for $9k?
That's difficult to say, Mikael Verstegen. Being a hybrid, we'd be curious how well the battery is maintaining its charge. If that can be checked out and verified that it's in good working condition then the rest would be usual pre-owned car stuff -- making sure mechanical/electrical bits are in good order and that the price is competitive with similar cars in your area. Sorry we can't help more, but thanks for watching!
I wouldn't be concerned about the battery as much as the egr system getting clogged at that mileage (pretty much the only problem with these cars). cost about 1k to swap out the parts. If you don't you risk blowing the head gasket.
I think only F Sport version has those lateral dampers mentioned at the end. Or is US version different?
+zimmerir The Yamaha lateral performance dampers are standard on all CTs, zimmerir. As far as we are aware, while the F SPORT package does add a specifically tuned suspension, most of the other parts are strictly aesthetic in nature, such as the steering wheel, badges, and rear spoiler. We guess the aerodynamic cutouts might provide some performance gains, as well. However, we can not confirm that. We appreciate your comments and thanks for watching!
08:00 Learn how to use footbrake at parking
lateral dampers ? not on a business line i think ..only on a Fsport
Absolutely love the CT2000H I just wish it had more HP. 98HP is too weak this day n age.
wow like my old 1.9tdi or 2.0tdi disel with out E button
Carleton, of course you are reviewing Hybrid luxury car's on youtube 20 years after Fresh Prince of Bellair. What else would you be doing?
This would have been such sweet ride with a FSR/BRZ engine and a six speed.
Ha! We can't argue with that, Ashrid Hussan. Unfortunately, the CT 200h is strictly a hybrid. But who knows what the future holds. Thank you for your comments and thanks for watching!

This car would have sold like hotcakes had they offered a 1.8 l turbo non hybrid version. Don't get me wrong I drive one but certainly miss the acceleration of a gas only engine but enjoy the mileage.
Possibly. We actually see a number of them in the Atlanta area, T Slaten. Enjoy yours and thanks for watching!
@4:29 Laughed my ass off!
oh shit somebody other than me that sill listens to Case
LOL You must be old school like Chris. Thanks for watching, solatorobo!
I had the premium package.
Bruce Leroy how was the performance aspect of this car? I've never had experience with a hybrid style power plant before...
@@LuziannaBoy Best car I've ever drove. First car was a 2007 Mitsubishi eclipse.
I purchased a 2013 I love it
Please compare Lexus CT 200h 14/15 with Honda Civic 2016 because the peoples know to buy a Brand new Honda civic or Used Lexus CT 200h is better then new Honda
Unfortunately, we aren't big enough yet to request specific vehicles at specific times, Haji Sahib. LOL But we'll keep that in mind if the opportunity ever does arise. We would like to say that the Honda Civic and the Lexus CT 200h are different types of vehicles so that should be narrowed down first. Cost of ownership will be higher on the Lexus and the Civic is not available with a hybrid powertrain yet. Hope this helps and if you haven't done so already, please consider subscribing so that you'll know if and when we get that comparison test together. Thanks for watching!
