Default Added a F-sport to the Family!

Hi everyone! My wife wanted a hybrid, so I got her a 2012 CT200h F-sport Special Edition for her birthday. I must say, it's a nice little car. So far, she's been getting 43.9 mpg's.... much better than the 18mpg I average on my ISF. Anyway, looking forward to browsing the CT200h forums now as well. Here are a few pics!!

Nice looking car. I sat in one just like it here in Atlanta and drooled a bit. Then climbed back into my 450(h) and drooled some more. Over 2 1/2 years now and still love it as much as day one.

Nice!

I'm trying to resist trading in my LS for a CT F Sport. How's the back seat leg room compare to the IS F?

The back seat leg room is about the same... it's pretty tight unless the front seats are moved forward some.

Thanks for the reply.

I compared the specs and the combined front leg room + rear leg room was about 74.5" for both cars.I assume when the site rear leg room, the measure with the front seat all the forward.

Looks like the CT has more head room in the back than the IS F.

Thanks everyone for their comments! My wife loves the car. I've already started some minor mods to it. I did a full LED light conversion to all the interior lights and license plate lights. Looks much better now!!!

Nice pickup. Recently had a chance to see one (white coincidently) at a friends shop.
They were adjusting coilovers on it. Initially, thought someone just slapped an "F-sport" badge on it.
Didn't know it was an option!
I had the chance of checking it out, very nice. Cargo space was a little tiny, but overall, very sporty looking.
