This is definitely the best and most in depth review of this car that I have seen. A lot of reviewers just seem to harp on the fact that it is slow and never get beyond that in the review.
The left cubby is meant for the remote controller if you have the navigation package.
The right one is for an electronics holder
This is the only hybrid i'd ever want to own or drive.
Not the Cr-Z?
Or the outlander phev?
@@joshuanishimura1131 I was thinking the same. This and the crz.
918 was leaked before this comment 😭😭😭
I always thought these cars were nice but just really slow, but now that gas is $7 it is looking like a very desirable car to me.
I’m planning on buying one very soon 😄 40+ mpg even at 80mph on the highway sounds pretty good to me 😂
I commute 40mins one way a day with a 2011 Prius. When I drove a 2012 CT200h, I felt like it accelerated faster and smoother than the Prius. I believe I would be able to recognize the difference since my extreme familiarity with the Prius, but I didn't do any measurements so I can't say for sure.
I love the radio, 90s were the best era of japanese cars
Thanks for the review, very well done. I've been looking at picking one of these up as a DD and you had all of the exact same feelings I did. Gosh, that radio is really holding me up. IT IS SO TACKY.
For those of us who are old enough to love the look of the Nakamichi equipped Lexuses, this radio is great. And I judge audio equipment on how it sounds not how it looks. Still a good review that as an owner I agree on just about every point. I have had my fast cars. Now I drive to work in traffic and this car is perfect for that job.
looks like the radio was put in as an afterthought, "Oh, Mr Designer, you forgot to put in a radio" "Aw shucks! no problem,I will remove the cup holders and put in a radio from our 90's parts bin"
Just choose the Mark Levinson version . It's perfect !
What ?! The old-school radio is AWESOME !!!
Very nice, concise review with plenty of core details.
Thanks so much!
Performance aside I like the look of these cars. Reminds me of a 1st gen Mazda3
Just bought a 2012 this weekend. Love it!
That's some incredible filming. Do you work for the dealers and have your own camera crew? These reviews look more and more professional. I remember when you were a scrawny kid from down the block filming yourself all the time, now you make incredible quality reviews with cars that can range above 100k.
nice review I really like your honesty keep doing like this :)
Very professional review! Great camera work!
Great review, keep it up! Happy new years dude
Thanks for the great video subaruwrxfan, I love how you always have a positive tone to every car you review and never really bash on any car. I have been interested in this car, the scion frs (Toyota gt 86) and the Chevy camero for quite some time. Cause I believe a slightly used version of any three are about in the same price range. I really liked the ct200h cause it's nice and it would save me on gas. But I'm confused on saving money on gas or driving something that will make me smile. What would you're thoughts be between these three cars?
Ps. You're a good car reviewer and I wish you all the success you deserve.
very funny and honest review on this car.lol enjoy your video as always
Have owned one for over 5 years and one of the best cars i have owned . Absolutely no issue at all
props for doing the video in the snow
Good review. I love this car, but I was hoping you'd get a 2014 version review as they are coming out soon.
This really makes me appreciate what Honda did with the CR-Z. Especially 2013-2016 models that include the S+ button on the steering wheel for a temporary additional boost from the electric motor. Love that the CR-Z is offered in a 6-speed manual as well. Although it perplexes me that Honda didn’t offer a sunroof in the US or back seats. I do like the look of this Lexus better, but the CR-Z is a clear better choice for me personally.
Was checking out your review as I am shopping for a 2014 version. Wanted to mention that the large bin on the center console is there for those that do not get the packages that include the Lexus mouse controller. The top of the small bins is meant to go with a Lexus cell phone holder that slips inside it.
4:59 That's where you put your chili dog LMAO
I like your honest reviews
What a great review! You must have a different suspension set up in the US (or smoother roads) to UK cars as our versions certainly aren't smooth riding... they're appalling and is the single reason that stopped me buying. I so love the ct therefore I am hoping the 2014 with the suspension revisions will make it smoother riding.
The storage pockets are strange and also the green screen sucks too. However both of these are fixed with the tech pack
@subaruwrxfan you should review an integra! Even though they're kinda old they're still running well!
The small rectangular cubby hole is a cell phone holder that comes with some models. Very cheap plastic but convenient.
the two fingered slot is for a phone holder that lexus sells and the shallow one is for the nav controls on a car that has nav
The weight is nice because having the batteries in the back keeps weight on all 4 wheels, rather than just the front.
They didnt take the radio out of a 90s toyota. Its a design choice. And for someone that grew up with 90s Japanese car this is an awesome throwback. The whole interior is a throwback to the 90s. Its perfect.
Happy new year from Germany your vids are awesome! :) is there any chance you can review an Alfa Romeo? I know they are very rare in USA but may be u get a Chance :) i drive one myself. So wish you all the best keep goin' :)
I loved this review, very detailed. Good channel. Looking to buy a car what do you think is better? 2012 ct 200h vs 2012 ford fusion hybrid?
Kaan T In my opinion, you should go for the Ct200h. 1, its worlds more reliable, and it's a Lexus. Much more comfortable.
definitely needs a aftermarket stereo install for the screen/navigation etc.
Sounds to me that this was made to drive around a retirement community at 15 mph!
The wide to thin thing cubby is for the mouse that controls the navigation system
No, it's not. That "mouse" is fixed, not detachable.
That two finger slot area is for you to insert the cellphone/gadget Lexus plastic holder. You can see this on the CNET review. The holder and placement was poorly designed though.
if this car was well maintained what would the engine go to?
I’ve had one for a year now, 2013 with Nav. Love it, and a perfect compliment to my fun car.
Most of those random “cubbies” in the center console are used by the nav. The non-nav version is really bad!
i like the basic old school look of the radio...
Have you ever gotten stopped by the cops (for any reason) while filming a car review? Happy new year!
No, thankfully I haven't. Happy New Year to you as well!
I wish you can do one on a G37 IPL if not at least a Sport
Happy new yr! I was thinking about an odd review request that's different like a SVT Raptor or a truck. Something new for the viewers.
5:22 That little slot you don't know what it's good for... It's a quarter holder so that you can easily keep your toll road money quick at hand.
Heh heh back when tolls could be paid with the amount of (US) coins that would fit there.
Can you do a review on Lexus IS250/350 or ISF
seriously considering buying this as a first car, I liked this because it’s small, comfy, sporty (ish 😂) and I love the reliability. I plan on using it daily for my college commute, and I like the gas economy, used for both city and highway. any suggestions?
Wonder if you bought it, it’s a solid car. My best friend has one and lent me it while i was back in my hometown.
I really liked it and now own a toyota
I love a prius but I really wish they made a lexus version of it that was acutally lexus like while retaining prius mpg.. The CT200 doesn't look more premium onthe inside than an upper trim prius does :/
It's probably been asked already, but it would be awesome if you could review an IS 350 F Sport. Your videos are great - keep it up!
Happy new year subaruwrxfan!
Happy New Year to you too!
Please review 2004-2008 Acura TL (Type-S) if possible. Great work as always and Happy New Year :)
Funny, I've never seen one that had the storage cubby where the nav display would be.
"AHA!! Not really..." 😂 that was great but I love lexus/Toyota so I'd rate this car 10/10
helpful review. i really like the style of these cars. but i just cant deal with such horrible performance. i have more power, a bigger motor, and no hybrid system and get 40+ mpg out of my mazda 3 skyactiv. and its actually fun to drive..!!
I have a 2011 ct with the nav package and lemme tell u its very nice and comfortable and very cheap to service and repair and I have 175,000 miles on it with no problems at all, I would definitely recommend this over other cars and u can also pick one up for cheap.
Ok if the interior is well taken care of as well the exterior.. no nav package. Over 200k miles on it for $4500... Please reply by tomorrow morning 🛂😪🔮
Why is there a sport mode for a hybrid?
What’s the difference between Base and premium models ???
Finally someone who just gives his honest opinion and personal thaught about a car
can the radio be replaced and upgraded?
These type of cars are good for if you just live in the city but still need a car. Like if you live in New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore or D.C etc perfect for parking size, and for gas but that's it. It's a cool looking car just not my taste
You should compare the Volt with a review. I believe lots of people underrate it. It has quite a lot of tq and is quick and quiet inside. I would be interested in seeing you review it. That lexus was quite noisy with that annoying engine buzzing. I have heard the volt is much much quieter and faster with its 8.5 sec 0-60.
Well while looking at volt stuff, I just noticed badnewsracing offers a tune for it dropping its 0-60 into the mid 6s lol. I guess chevy is limiting that tq too much.
can you do the refreshed version of this car!?
So this or a Mercedes B250, please? I know the mercedes is not as fuel economical, but with that aside at about the same price. Main concerns are: Space, fuel, luxury, comfort, look and reliability.
Can you get a mic cover to reduce the wind noise?
Do you have a last CT200h was made and informations ( safety future it came with it )
Hi subwrxfan, can you do a C63 AMG review please?
I laughed so hard during the accelerations.
Thanks for the review. Gas just hit $4.00 a gallon again and I'm thinking of replacing my aging Dodge Magnum RT with this. You can get a 2012 for 10-12k now! Great deal! Plus it uses less expensive Prius parts for repairs.
it´ll be great as a second car as daily driver, save money to mod the weekend car
Really good review man. I'm picking mine up on Saturday.
Just wanted to point out 9:20 - where the hell do you live?? LOL. Looks like Blade Runner. My guess would be Pennsylvania or Ohio.
The Stereo looks like the one in my buddy's 95 Lexus SC 400.
"Then you have another little slot here, I have no idea what you could put in there, you can fit about two fingers in there and that's about it." Hmmm.... :)
0:50 lmao.Happy New Years.
Beauty and simple car
Are you going to make a video on the new Chevy ss that is coming out?
I'd love to if I can find one to review!
Australia have a really upmarket CT200h compared to this. The radio isn't like that at all. It's blended into the dash like a typical luxury car should.
i wanted this carrrr
Hi man Great video ! even i didnt like this car much xD
can you do a Renault laguna 2003 review ? it would be soo awesome thumbs up !
We don't have Renault in the United States.
ohh ok sorry i didnt know about that :)
All the missing pieces in the console are for the navigation and joystick
Have you ever reviewed a 2008 or newer Doge Avenger there perry nice to not that nice but 27 to 30 mpg i own one and I thinks it's really nice interior could be better but I live with it
wow
much avenger
such doge
StormChaosStudios tell me about it
wow
When I watched the intro of this car I thought "what a nice looking car, what a lines and body" then I read the title "200h" I realized it is actually a Hybrid and by the way I'd reccomend this car to a few people who don't wanna have fun at driving..
That is actually one of the biggest trunks that I have seen in a hatchback.
Toyota Matrix destroys it on cargo space.
ytmndan lol
that weird little thing you had no idea the storage thing is for coins fits 2-3 coins
Bought this car in 2011 sold it yesterday
The little slot is for quarters. Its a toyota thing. I use it in my sienna for parking meter money
Can't really fit quarters in there. Too shallow. If he had the nav system, it would control the angle of the display.
You should do a 2003-2007 Honda accord Coupe V6!!
The 2008 Accord Coupe would be nice :)
Not a good deal at 30k+ new but used in the low teens it's not bad.
How are the speakers on this car?
I have a 2014 base model and the stereo is pretty bad.
My family owns a new 5 series, I love the interior. It's only about £33000.
lol the radio is literally straight from a 90s LS400
Why change perfection, right?
this is kinda strange, i watched one of 2012 ct200h and there radio was with white modern small screen looking like LED. Also that one had screen on top of the dashboard. That was in europe, maybe lexus used some left over parts?
mines came with a monitor for navigation n stereo n a mouse to control it from...well worth it...this must b the basic model...
this car is a 2012 model. what year is yours?
miles45ful mines a 2012
Please review an e36 M3!
Would you prefer the CT200h or the CRZ?
Definitely the CRZ, it felt a lot more sporty.
9:21 nothing like a hybrid cruising along to the backdrop of heavy industry lol
I wonder if maybe the car has to learn the driver
like this body but love the 300h if only turbo AWD
Is this car good for Uber and Lyft in New York?
Probably the best car review I’ve seen so far.
Balanced ride-along...who knew ?
