Welcome to Club Lexus! CT200h owner roll call & member introduction thread, POST HERE
#331
I've had my 2012 Nebula Gray Pearl F-Sport Special Edition for almost 2 months now.
1. Premium
2. Navi
3. Nebula Gray Pearl w/Ocean Blue NuLuxe seats
4. Special edition hatchback comes packing all the features included in the optional F Sport package – revised body kit, 17-inch Liquid Silver alloy wheels, metal front scuff plates, perforated leather steering wheel, leather shift ****, aluminum pedals, optional perforated leather seats, metallic dash bits and a re-tuned suspension, black F Sport floor mats with blue contrast stitching.
5. F-Sport SE 1 of 900; 1 of 300 in Nebula Gray
6. Ceramic tint, paint correction & Optimum Gloss-Coat body & wheels, different tires after the Michelins wear out (ROUGH!).
7. Officially replaced at 2004 BMW 530i SMG and a 2015 Passat SE TDI w/navi. I bought the Passat because I wanted a Jetta diesel Sportwagen 6-spd manual w/navi & panoramic sunroof. I couldn't find exactly what I wanted it, so I bought the Passat, only to discover I didn't want another sedan. I came across my CT200h just before my 35th birthday and bought it as a present to myself in the middle of October and haven't looked back. Because of the 'Dieselgate' issue w/VW and dealers NOT being allowed to sell new TDIs, I was able to get out of my Passat without losing a cent (whew!). I miss the power & torque of a diesel, but I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that my Lexus will be infinitely more reliable. Once I sell my E60 BMW, that will mark the first time since in 12 years I haven't owned a German car of some type.
**MY PLAN** is to drive my CT until at LEAST 100k (26k when I bought it, 28.5k now) and eventually replace it with a new Golf Sportwagen TDI 6spd manual w/navi pano roof. The ONLY way that will change is if by some miracle VWOA decides to release a 4-motion version in North America, which means I would order a new one immediately.

Fire Agate owner in Clearwater, FL area.
Hey guys, So I bought the CT used alittle over a year ago.

2. Nav
3. Fire Agate / Black Leather
4. Not sure about the options
5. not an F-sport
6. Wheels and Coils shortly
7. I test drove a TSX Sportwagon, but needed better gas mileage for work. I traded in a 2012 Tacoma Xrunner V6 6spd...that I miss every day.
Any other Fire Agate owners that are modded?

!!2016 F Sport SE new owner!!
Hello everyone!!! Super happy to be here. To learn and mod a few on this sexy looking hybrid. I purchased my new ct from Longo El Monte here in socal Wednesday (3/2/16) last week . Got a killer deal for zero APR for 6 years. $41k out the door. So far I loooooooooove the car. The none navi option kinda bugged me, but I really wanted the SE paint and two-tone seats. And since I barely used the navi on my other car (I use Waze instead), I was ok with it. First mod (not really a mod) was i got the windows tinted 3M 35 film all around. I'm looking into getting some wheel spacers for a more aggressive wheel/fender look. Im looking into spacers with extended wheel nuts instead of the bolt on type. Any recommendations?
1. premium
2. no nav
3. exterior: Atomic Silver and interior: black NuLuxe with red accents
4. Special Edition, F Sport Premium,Lexus Display Audio
5. F-Sport
6. Did the tint already 3M 35 film all around, looking for wheel spacers.
7. I wasn't considering any other hybrid? This was an addition to my e92 M3. Needed something more fuel efficient on days when I need it.
Enjoy the pics.

Same bought as you man. Just picked up a Certifed Fsport 2015 with a bumper to bumper warranty until 2026 unlimited miles
CRAZY.
Anyways I got this car for a commuter, my M5 isnt to practical.
Im having a hell of a time finding aftermarket for this car.
I too want some spacers, not sure if I will get rims for this car.. I like not having to worry about anything while driving.
But I like your wheels, those are factory Fsport wheels Powder coated black?
Im going to upgrade speakers, see if I can put in a Nav in this car (aftermarket) just for looks, I dont really use nav in any of my cars, so I opt out of the factory one.

Nice! Good deal on the warranty!!
HAHA I too am having a hard time finding aftermarket parts. Its not the same as the bmw forums. Only upgrade i'm looking for right now is just the spacers though. Not sure if the rims are powder coated, but they do look like they are didnt really take a closer look. Not planning on upgrading rim/tire size either. Dont want to lose any mgp.
Here's a pic of my sexy beast. unfortunately, and very sad to say.... I put her up for sale online a few days ago =(
I'm already regretting it.
