Post up what's unique about your CT
Besides the incredible fuel economy and reliability, I think it's safe to say our vehicles have something distinct about them that cause us to be proud of and greatly attached like a close friend or relative. It could be something specially customized like a modification or something simple like a factory/OEM feature. Please include the year and mileage of your CT as well as something unique. I'll get the ball rolling:
- 2011
- 64,800 miles
- Factory illuminated door sills
- Premium package with sunroof, Homelink and auto-dimming rear view mirror w/ no back-up camera (I believe 2011 was the first and only year to have this unique setup as 2012-present models have the camera and everything else if it's a premium pkg).
- NO navigation package (I wanted all the space for my things around the center console and I could care less about having a GPS in my car lol)

1. 2012
2. 20k miles
3. Premium pkg - no nav
4. I've added some LED lighting to replace incandescant bulbs. Added a factory rubber cargo mat and cargo net. Carista app for customizing the CT's various options (backup beeping, auto door locking etc)
As for "unique"...I was telling everyone how unique it was when we bought it. However, not only did we see one a week after we bought it, but it was also the same color AND in the same small town outisde of Vancouver that we live in. So much for that. lol

1. 2015
2. 19,000 miles
3. Premium package with navigation
4. I've changed all the interior lights to LEDs, along with the trunk side light. Also added a LED strip light across the back so that the side light can be blocked and you can still see back there. Will be adding some to the hatch as well.
12 volt accessory port in the glove box. Adding another one to the trunk area, just waiting on it.
Added a amp and 10" sub. Findway floor mats. And used a app to turn off the backup beep and seat belt chime.
Lastly 23% tint all way around.

Since my car is my work car, I really don't want to get into modding it and have something damaged down the road with all the driving I do. While it's stock, it has its unique aspects:
- 2014 F Sport in Ultrasonic Blue Mica (rarest color it seems)
- 156,000+ miles
- Xpel Ultimate paint protection film on the entire front end plus lower sides/mirrors/A-pillars
- Most unique options: Factory LED lights + Adaptive/radar cruise control
- Lexus RES+
- 2015 rear F Sport badge
- 25k mile oil changes proven via lab tests w/ 15k oil/filter

He is a courier.
He said he has 156,000 miles on the car, and the plus sign is to state he has more than that, because the car is always on the go.....
When I joined back in August the car had under 1000,00p miles, if that gives you an idea of how much driving this car sees.
Just for fun, and I hope Raidin doesn't mind, here are his fuel logs with dates and millage from back when I joined the forum.

I basically stopped looking at the EXACT mileage, I just see 156,xxx so I just add the + sign to indicate I am above 156,000 but not at 157,000 yet.
Exactly what Infected said. Also, thanks for being so polite Infected, you are welcome to post any info about my car that's available in the forums or from fuelly.com. I regularly share my data because I know very few people put as many miles as I do on my car, and I end up being a great test subject for things people won't see for years down the road.
At 156k+, it still drives like it did on day 1, zero problems. It even has 80% brakes left on the front, 70% on the rear (I use the e-brake whenever I park). We're talking original stock brakes, never changed (I love to regen brake whenever possible). Also on my third set of tires as of about 1 month ago.

I had a 2010 Smart car previous and had about $10,000 worth of maintenance done under 90,000km. One time it was in the shop for six weeks! Thank God it was under warranty!

I am at about 150,000 km and I am in the same boat where I have had nothing major wrong! ...and still lots of brakes!(knock on wood)

The smart car wouldn't have worked just based on tank size for the trips we do. But I've heard so many things about them, I'm glad we didn't purchase one, and went the Prius route. 310,000 kms on the Prius and about $3,000 into it outside of gas and oil changes.
Raidin is at 156,000 miles, which is about 240,000 kms.
Seems so insane for being such a new vehicle!
