Smile My 2011 CT with 203,000 Miles!!

I'm thrilled that I just turned 203,000 miles on my 2011 CT! I'm on my second set of brakes and third set of tires. Other than that, no major issues - just regular oil changes. If you're considering a CT I say go for it, even if it has 100k plus miles on it.

What kind of fuel mileage are you getting at 200k+?

Very awesome. This is why i wasnt worried about the "high mileage" (42k miles) 2014 F sport i picked up.

Like post above, is mileage just as consistent still?

I'm still getting an average of about 42 MPG which is very consistent with what I've gotten all along considering how I drive. I also changed the size of my tires. I'm running Michelin MXM4 225/50/17 which drop my MPG slightly but gives me better handling and a little softer ride.

Just amazing and awesome! Congrats on the milestone. Is most of the miles commuting miles?

I currently have over 105K miles on my 2011 CT. Most of mines is commuting miles and we drive to Vegas often.

Keep up the great job of driving the CT and happy driving...

Congrats on the high miles, good to know that it has given you great reliability. Does Lexus give milestone badges? When my Volvo achieved 200,000 miles, they sent me a metal badge.

This is good news for those of us in for the long haul.....which I am. I'm not at all surprised by this. It's one of the reasons we bought our CT. My LS460 has just turned over 100k miles and the only unscheduled repair was mufflers (400 bucks), and a water pump (DIY with aftermarket) for 60 bucks! There's a few members over at the LS forum, that have turned over 200k miles and one over 300k miles, with similar reliability.

About the brakes.. did you just get pads or did you get new rotors too?

Besides oil what other fluids did you change / flush / replace?

How long did your first of brake pads lasted? what about the 12v battery? My battery lasted 30k & dead.

Congratulations! Please do keep us posted on how the car's doing and what you've done/changed so far.

Holy poop 148k on a '14?!?! That's insane. I'm just rolling past 105,000km. For some reason, the previous owner had brake pads and rotors replaced twice before 85,000km (I bought it at 85,000km). The only unexpected issue I had was a driver side wheel bearing.

What happened to OP?

He swept in with his 200,000 mile story and never followed up or posted again.
