Traded-in my HS250h on a 2013 CT200h today. Although there will be some changes to the 2014s, the 2013 had everything I wanted (and the price was right), so I took the plunge.

1. CT base or premium: Premium
2. Nav/no Nav: No nav
3. Color exterior/interior: Ultra White/black
4. Options/Option Packages: None
5. F-Sport?: Yes!!
6. Planned mods?: None
7. What did this replace?: 2010 HS250h w/Sport Package

In Canada the 2013 CT200h had 4 option packages. In order of increasing cost they were: Touring, Premium, F-Sport (everything in Premium package plus the F-Sport wheels, suspension, seats, badges, etc., etc.), and Technology (everything in the Premium package plus Navi).

Here's the link to the Lexus Canada website for a description of the option packages:
http://www.lexus.ca/lexus/en/configu...200h#/packages

With the 2014 model due soon, the link may work for only a little while.

Congrats on your purchase!

I'm kinda bummed out about the fact that the F-Sport only comes with black interior. I would've gone for the caramel =(

Thanks for the help in my previous thread... My dad and I picked this up for my mom;



14k kms, rebuilt [minor front end damage], 2012, base model. About 10k less than current 'clean title' ones selling in my city....

I ended up putting in some weathertechs [awesome mats!!], led interior retrofit, tinted 35%

Going to pick up some HID's in spring for better road lighting and an exhaust tip since the ***-end looks 'naked' without an exhaust!
*unless in the next couple of months I somehow stumble across a set of OEM LED headlamps from some unsuspecting seller that doesn't know what they have - i'll get those in lieu of HID's

Just bought mine and should be picking it up this Friday! Traded in my '04 BMW X3 and wanted something more economical on my 60 mile drive to work. Can't wait to drive it! Semi converting back to Japanese imports as I still have my BMW '06 330ci in the garage I hardly use. Then again, not really converting since my first car was an '87 Toyota Celica GT.

1. CT base or premium: Premium
2. Nav/no Nav: No nav
3. Color exterior/interior: Starfire Pearl
4. Options/Option Packages: None
5. F-Sport?: No
6. Planned mods?: Wheels, Springs, HID's, and just a front TOM's lip.
7. What did this replace?: 2004 BMW X3 3.0i

Updating post with pics!

New forum member from Encinitas California. Traded my 5-series BMW for a fuel efficient CT two years ago and never looked back. Love the styling, MPG, and reliability!

Nice! I'm loving mine. Just drove 240 miles and filled up for 18 bucks. 40 mpg rocks!

I'm in the middle of a cold Midwest winter here in Illinois. Hybrids notoriously get lower mpg's when it's cold outside. I'm looking forward to getting that 43 - 44 mpg that orangedrin is getting when it warms up here.

Yes, I inflate tires to 38psi.......mpg goes up to about 42ish in cold weather. In the summers here I can get 44mpg average 43mpg..or so.

Before tire inflation as low as 38-39mpg.... usually about 40-41. but I'm running Hakka R2's which have low roll factors. Also they are GREAT in the snow and ice. Also the CT's have CVT trannies and it takes a few minutes to reach peak operating temps. You'll notice the car revving higher until its warmed up.
