Ahh perfect, im right at the deciding stage and good feedback is always helpful. It definately requires a different style of driving. May go again for another test with mrs tommorow and see if i can improve the offer. i have a test drive booked for a honda civic which after the ct roadtest im thinking wont be worth the trouble so may cancel that.

So, test drive completed. Verdict, i love it. Pulling away for the first time in near silence put a smile on my face. I found the changover between battery/engine and both to be seamless at all times. The cvt box was the best of all my recent tests from other brands and yes while a little noisy if pushed thats not what the lexus for me is about and it wouldnt be pushed. The ride, yes it could be a little softer but coming from an vw up it is an improvement for me. Being a smooth driver i dont think the ride would unsettle me to often. Needed a little more throttle than id have though to move on batteries but its a style you get used to. In normal fine. And sport has enough pull for me. The brakes seemed a little wooly but i appriciate their charging the system so you learn what works. Considering a few cars at the moment and the ct is now the front runner. Will prob test drive again on sunday with the mrs and go from there. ct is certainly a different style of drive and life is about trying different things so i think id enjoy it.

Thats just beautiful!, the showroom car was black also and i think it will be my preferred choice.

Sadly no, its the 6speaker standard setup. However my current car is an vw up with 2x dual cones in doors so anything will be better ! Test drive is 10am on friday, cant wait. Been missing a lexus since i sold my last one.

Well i cant wait to test drive it now, will be interesting to compare the quietness against my old ls400. The v8 was quiet but cant compete with battery so It will be much you can hear the engine/cvt. Reliabity is one reason id like to return. While i had 5yrs of vw now they just arnt the same finish / quality. Tbh i dont use satnav often so it wont bother me and never had a car with phone capability so even if awkward to use its still an extra feature!. Be interesting how the soundsystem compares as that is important to me, the ls had a sub. i like the fact theres only one engine option, keeps the playing field level lol. Is the fsport no different then?

Hmm, i dont mind a sporty ride but will definately be concentrating on how it suits me.

Thanks, glad its getting good feedback, i know nothing about the hybrid side of things so thats to learn. Hmm black roof, we prob be ordering either black or red so i think with the black wheels and mirror caps it will tie in if its red. Ive researched online and sat in one at the dealers and booked my test drive yesterday so just need to have a good test drive. i cant get from the manual the parking brake. Theres a foot pedal like my old Ls ? But cant see reference to a releaselever? also the electric park button surle youd just knock it into 'n' and keep foot on brake? is the button used while in 'd' say at lights then you just pull away?

Thanks ,yes it will be 17"s. coming from a vw polo so it should be a better ride anyway. Wish i could have booked it earlier than next friday but it gives me time to research i suppose.

So hello, been a few years since i sold my ls400 and now find myself possibly returning to lexus. Car im about to test drive is a ct200h sport. Just looking for advice really ... Any niggles /issues, how do owners like it? Read all the online reviews and the only thing seems to be a firm ride?. Car will be new so not looking for 2nd hand issues. Do owners recommend it?. How does the hybrid system perform day to day? Benefit or annoyance. cherrs steve.
