Default 2011 - ct200h

I'm in the market for a 2011 CT200H with ~50,000 KM or less.

I found quite a few, but I just wanted to know what should I be looking for or expecting in terms of problems?

What is the warranty on the battery for Canadian owners?

I'm trading in my IS250 to get this, hopefully I won't regret it. If anyone else went from an IS250 to CT200H, I'd like to hear your thoughts about the whole switch. Thanks in advance!

I went from a GX470 to a 2011 CT200h. I think you might miss some of the comfort and space in the IS, but when you see that your getting 40+ mpg (sorry, don't know the L/km translation), you'll forget about that and realize you are driving a comfortable, reliable, and fuel effecient machine.

In the US, they come with an 8 year (from original purchase)/100K mile warranty on the batteries...don't know about Canada.

Best of luck and let us know what comes of your decision...

Well I went today and the salesman even talked me out of it, he kept saying it was a downgrade. The warranty in Canada is 96 months (8 years) or 160,000 KM, so it's exactly like the States.

I'm sticking with the IS

Just my 2 cents.....

I drive an ES350 and we had picked up a 2011 CT200h as a CPO for a 3rd car mostly for my daughter to drive.

Clearly, the ES350 is a whole different driving experience than the CT and I focus on the word "different".

The CT200h is actually a more "fun" car to drive in most respects. It steers very well, corners great, etc etc.
Obviously, it also gets great gas mileage as well.

The major difference is the ES350 has much better noise isolation and power delivery.

For what it is, I think the CT200h is pretty darn good if taken on its own merits.
