I traded in my plain 2013 CT for a 2017 F Sport. I am very happy with Lexus of Bellevue. I am hoping I remain happy after they do a full inspection of my 2013, lol. Not sure that I will do any mods, especially expensive ones. I love those illuminated door sills and some different lights would be cool.

 

Congrats on the new 2017

 

Did you opt for the red interior or the black?

 

Thanks, oldwineguy.

Black. The red would've been cool but I am pretty sure none of the dealerships in this area had the red. Everyone seemed to have a few of the white with black interior on the lots. I had originally wanted black exterior with black interior, like my last 4 cars, but there weren't any black f sports. I am really digging the white.

 

Nice!
I have a ultra white with red interior on order with production date in December . . . . So it's gonna be a long wait. . . .

 

That is a long wait! You have more patience than I do.

 

Congrats. We have the same car. Looks like you have tint already done on it. Looks good!

 

Since when did lexus offer red interior in a CT f sport?
Cant see it on the lexus.com when trying to build one

 

Might not be available in the US
The interior is called "rioja red" in Canada

 

 

I was in Canada this past December and I went to the Lexus dealer and look at ct with the red interior ....Beautiful color but they don't offer that option in the US not sure why......

 

Looks like only available in Canada.

 

Yea I tried to order the a red interior in the US but it wasn't available so I went with black myself.

 

Congrats! I am also a new owner of that model. Does anyone have any tips or can surface any features that usually is overlooked. Also, do some is there any harm (aside from mpg) in just leaving it in Sport mode? I do like the overall responsiveness in that setting vs normal and eco.

 

Sport Drive Mode on regular gas Lexi only changes the shift points.
Sport on our Hybrids changes the usual 500 vdc from the inverter up
to 650 vdc! Greater torque and what seems like better response.

You will have to select Sport each time you drive, I have read that
if it was able to default "on" that they would have to test and publish
MPG ratings in that mode.

Other threads have expounded on the theory that you may use Sport
for the extra Electric boost but being careful to be lightfooted and you
can actually improve MPG. I've tried a bit of this Hypermileing technique
but end up just burying my foot in it ('14 ES300h) and the results are, mixed.
