Reading your other posts it sounds like a design issue, Seems like an odd thing to change the window seals. Have you heard anything from other owners?

Nice looking car it looks great in red, you will get used to the different modes. I find myself challenging the wife to see who gets the most mpg (rock and roll in our house). Still not managed to fully fill the battery

Will get some pictures up soon. Not sure about upgraded suspension I read somewhere that is was added to the 2014 cars onwards - more welds. I also read that the F-Sport has different suspension. What I can say is the ride still feels firm but nothing compared to my old car similar to what Kas63 said above. The CT is much more refined, I really struggle to see the purpose of hot hatches nowadays, maybe because I am older but with the changes in emission laws, speed limits, cameras, more traffic why bother? I live in Newcastle and there is lots of talk about the introduction of a congestion zone, with a car like the CT I will be exempt which is another plus. I think in the future I would go all electric but at present the initial outlay is just too expensive, second hand residual values are unclear and new technology electric car tech is progressing too rapidly to know where the smart money goes. At present Hybrid makes sense and the CT ticks many boxes. I did test drive the new Corolla Hybrid 2.0 which was a nice car and very tempting but there was no way I was paying for depreciation.

Got it! So I was using a different programme to unzip the file and was missing the extension, it now works (used winzip). Thank you both

I use Chrome but tried it in edge as well with no joy. A quick google gave me a link to what I think is the service manual so I will use that. Thanks for your help

I downloaded the file, unzipped it to a folder, followed the link above (Lexus CT200H Service Manual Library/rm1720e/index2.html) but I have no link to index2 and when it opens in a browser there are no links to click on

Hi all I am a new owner of a 2014 F-Sport I did post to the new members page but no one replied so i thought I would say hello here. I have moved to this car from a 2010 Honda Civic Type R. We owned the Honda for 7 years and the difference between that and the Lexus is night and day. Owning the Type R was a silly idea which I had many years ago, I had always wanted one and to be fair it did serve us well with no major issues. The downside was 29mpg on a good day and close to £300 per annum tax also being a "boy racer" car you had people trying to race you which got tiring very quickly and the suspension was rock solid. When I first started looking at the CT many dealers (not Lexus) tried to put me off buying one telling me I would be bored coming from a Type R and to look for something with more poke, It took me two years to make the leap and I am very happy with my decision. It makes no sense to directly compare these two cars but when I look at how busy the roads are nowadays, the cost of driving, environmental impacts and me growing up the Lexus ticks all the boxes. The thing I find interesting is how much the CT is slated by the motoring press too slow, hard ride, old tech blah blah if I went on these reviews alone I would never have considered it yet when you look at owners reviews people love it. This was the same for the Civic which just goes to show how much the "professional" reviewers actually know. Anyway this forum seems like a decent place to pick up hints and tips, the only thing I am struggling with at the min is the connected services for the professional Nav (google street view etc). I have made an account on mylexus and I assume I use that to log in?

I cannot get this to work, can someone give me an idiots guide please?

I am soon to collect my 2014 CT F-Sport and found this forum so I thought I would say hello. It has been a long time coming (first test drove a CT 3 years ago but changed my mind) but i am looking forward to a step up in terms of quality and economy. I am moving from a 2010 Civic Type R which has served us well but it rarely gets driven like it was supposed too and with 28-29mpg plus £300 ish road tax a year it was time to go. I researched the CT to the tiniest detail and have this forum to thank, I know the car has its issues but it suits us perfectly now and I think it was the right choice. I test drove the new Corolla in top spec with the 2.0 engine and that is a great car but i don't want to pay the depreciation so the CT makes sense. Any hints and tips welcome, looking forward to a new mature way of driving.
