New CT200h Owner - Bay Area
Hello All
Brand new CT owner! I worked for TMS (Toyota Motor Sales) for almost 6 years so had my fair share of Lexus through employee lease, but late last year moved to the Bay Area after leaving TMS to join Tesla Motors. Gas prices in the Bay Area made me realize I need a hybrid and not a Jeep Rubicon that gets 15mpg
2013 CT200h Fsport
Ultrasonic Blue
*Fsport with Nuluxe
*Premium Package
*HDD Nav Package
*Illuminated Door Sills
*Cargo net, cargo mat, wheel locks, key gloves
I absolutely love the vehicle thus far and tripling my gas mileage from my previous vehicle doesn't hurt.
Thanks!

RTIS250, ha - no jealous needed Ryan!
You convinced me on the color, so I will blame you, ha
I do love it though! Amazing that I still have over a half tank of gas and it's almost Friday. I would have filled the Jeep up by now I am sure
GIANTSFAN! - Thanks! Really enjoying it thus far. Tripling your gas mileage and getting into a fun new car never is a bad thing!

Welcome to the club!!! I used to work for Lexus and was always amazed at how efficient the CT's were. Then again, looking at the whole lexus hybrid lineup and looking how efficient they have all become with the luxury has been amazing. Gotta say, the USB is one hecka hard color to find! kind of like you Jeep to an efficient car, i also recently went from a Land Rover to a 99 GS400 =P and i can almost say the same on saving gas... close to 1.5x longer distance! haha for you it should be like... 5-6x =P but anyhoo, welcome to the club and enjoy all we have to share on builds and have fun with the scene! =D

swt...wow that's amazing mpg. i am getting like 38 right now on my first tank.
roverboi....thanks! Yeah, I worked for TMS for 6 yrs at 2 manuf facilities and 1 port. I am really enjoying the CT a lot thus far. My Jeep Rubicon was getting 15-16mpg, and now living in Cali, my bank acct wasn't enjoying it Tripling my mpg's will be awesome!
USB seems to be very hard to find from what I hear. Thankfully the dealership here about 20 miles away had one.

Sff103.....Thanks! I am really enjoying it thus far and can't go wrong w/ USB! Injen intake will be the first thing I buy and hopefully contact RTIS250 (aka Ryan) to help install it And then window tint.
Other than that, nothing planned as of right now.

Initial G - thanks so much! Love having a rare color for the CT. I did not realize it was so rare until I started looking for one.
USBISF - Yes, gas prices are brutal here. I was getting about 15-16mpg in my Rubicon. 20 gallon tank and going about 300 miles is no good. I am gonna be a very happy Lexus customer w/ these mpg's!

Doublade - it's unreal to get this mpg and have a sweet looking ride! I have had it for 2 full weeks now and loving it. Only people I really know on here is RTIS250 and Flipside909. Look fwd to meeting you as well. Love this car Injen intake will be bought shortly for it, then not sure what else.
I worked for Toyota/Lexus for 6 yrs and then resigned llate Nov last yr, so it is good to be back in their vehicle, specifically Lexus.
