Just got my CT about 5-6 weeks ago. I love it so far and still learning new things about it.
1. 2015 Base
2. No navigation
3. Convenience package
4. Black exterior/Black interior
5. F-Sport
6. -Only modification so far is tint
-I plan on getting new wheels and tires this week if everything works out right
-I want to get apple carplay or other double din radio (speakers/amp/sub), which is why I didn't want navigation. Having trouble finding a shop who has either done a CT or is willing to switch the radio out
-I want to plasti-dip the emblems
7. Not considering any other cars at the moment. I replaced my '08 Scion tc with the CT 200h

Hello
ello, names Jorge, got my 2014 Ct200h back in February.
1. Base
2.No Nav
3. Redline Red exterior/black leather interior
4. backup camera ?, fsport wheels, black roof
5.F-Sport
6. Replaced low beam hologen bulbs with LEDs (6500k) (some people replace the whole headlight?) Changing fog lights to 3000k, window visors/shade deflector (any recommendations?), LED exterior/interior lighting accents, maybe a tint and maybe some rims later on (any recommendations websites?)
-I'd like to somehow paint the Lexus emblem in the front and rear to black or red instead of it being blue
-paint calipers (suggestions?)
-I'd like a sound system without replacaing stock radio.. I have an amp, i'd just need some subs, maybe 2 8"s lol.
7. Was considering a Subaru Impreza, IS250, but MPG was a big factor for me plus budget..This replaced my 2004 Sentra with 218,0000

Bought ours last Monday
We bought a new but 2016 model last Monday. Grey with black hood, sport, special edition. It does not have Navigation. We also own a 2015 NX, and found the system is over complicated.

1. CT base
2. No nav
3. Red with orange interior
I decided to get the basic version of the CT200H and slowly build it up to my tastes over the next couple of months. I wanted to keep the upfront costs as low as possible, thus being able to pay in cash without having to eat ramen noodles. Over the next few months to a year, I will upgrade the following:
1) Led headlights, interior, and backup lights
2) Clear Bumper protectors
3) Legal window tint
4) Setup android auto via cellphone to substitute no factory nav; I might make a dedicated tablet mounted to car with a dedicated wifi hotspot/modem in the car (Input welcome)
5) Suspension work (input welcome)
- I will research forum for interchangable parts (Tc?, Corolla?, F-Sport?)
- Will research forum for available aftermarket parts for Ct200H
- most likely coilovers
6) sound proofing/deadening
7) potential black roof/bronze stock rims
Items 1-4 will probably be completed within months. #5-7 will be completed as my free time allows.
7. What other cars were you considering?
-Mini Cooper S (high maintenance cost; scarred from my last BMW's repair bills)
-Fiat 500C Abarth (really fun but too small)
-Corolla S (sister bought one recently and it is a lovely vehicle, I was pleasantly surprised)
-Prius
-G37
-3-Series (high maintenance cost)
-Honda CR-Z (I don't think I could go through with 2 seater for my only vehicle)
-ILX hybrid (Toyota Hybrid system won this battle for me)
As you can see I was all over the place with my shopping list. I feel like the CT200H has a good trade off between all of my requirements. Wish it accelerated a little faster but I can live with it as is. I'm very excited to start modding and driving this car. I've seen many Priuses hit 300k miles+ and I hope I get to push the CT200H to that level.
I also purchased this car using Carvana. It was delivered to my driveway and all I needed to do was sign a few papers. I had the option to test drive it during delivery as well as return it within 7 days of delivery without any fees/penalties.

Hello! I just recently picked up a 2017 CT200h F Sport with premium package in Atomic Silver!
So far I've converted the interior and puddle lights to LED as well as acquired and modified the OEM device holder to hold big phones.
Mods will be few and far between, but I have a few things in the works. The big one is the blue F Sport springs. Can anyone tell me if they ride harsher than the stock 17 F Sport springs? And hey, if someone in the Bay Area is willing to give me a ride in their CT with blue F Sport springs, I'd really appreciate it!
