I'm currently looking for a car. I'd like a smaller vehicle that's reliable, has good gas mileage, and has decent space for moving stuff. The Lexus CT200h seems like a great option. I recently took one for a test drive, and really liked it. But one problem I have is that I really want one with a Pre-Collision Safety System and Adaptive Cruise Control. Are these available in California? The salesman at the dealer told me he had never seen a CT200h with ACC. Also, are there any issues I should be aware of about this car? Is it reliable, and are owners happy with it?
Are there good pics of what the dashboards with ACC look like? I'm considering just going through dealer ads seeing if I can find one. Also, is blind spot monitoring a feature that's available? It's not a big of a deal as ACC, but I haven't seen it listed on any ads.
In the picture I attached, you can see a button below the DISP button on the right side of the steering wheel. This is the distance button for the ACC. Also, you can see the cruise control stalk in the back and how it has a different cruise control symbol, and just above the area marked CANCEL on the stalk, you can see a partial view of the word MODE circled, which is how you switch between normal and adaptive cruise control. Outside of those two things, you won't find anything easily visible to distinguish an ACC-equipped car from one without.

did you special order yours with that or the dealer randomly randomly order one with ACC?

My wife drives a 2012 CT200h F Sport. It has been 100% reliable and it's a fantastic car. Tons of room in back especially with the seats folded down. Interior is great and feels solid. Not much for power but the F Sport version at least has some nice suspension upgrades that make it fun to drive.

I had to special order mine. The dealer told me no dealer in the country orders cars with either the ACC or the LED headlight option. They checked the entire country's inventory back when I was shopping and not a single car came up that had either. They don't feel that anyone would buy it consider both options cost $1,500 each. I bet they're wrong, but they'd have to wait a long time for a buyer, considering this was the lowest volume car Lexus made.
