Hello all, I am new to this site. I signed up to ask a question regarding the new Lexus CT200h.
I test drove the car and loved almost everything about it.

My biggest concern is in regards to outward visibility. During the test drive, I noticed the top of the dash was very deep, and where it meets the windshield, there's actually a slight hump which further reduces visibility.
Has this been an issue for anybody? Or is this something that I will get used to with more seat time?

I have the car for over a month now and have driven extensively. I find the outward visibility through the front windshield is fine, the rear is slightly obstructed, but the side mirrors help, and I do not find a hindrance. I have the rearview camera which helps backing out.

Thank you for your input dochusar.

I've had mine for over a month and a half now also and have not had or noticed any visability issues with our CT.

Zero issues.

Agreed. I have noticed any issues that gave me pause

I've noticed that almost all current car models have the same issue, with the high hood line. It causes a little issue with parking (I found the CT is a little difficult to park straight because of the high hood) but a 2011 Elantra I test drove had the same issue but even worse because it didn't have the low side windows. A Camaro I test drove was infinitely worse though!

I hear it has something to do with Euro crash regulations, but in any case, the easiest solution is to raise the seat higher than usual to see a little better.
