2013 Lexus CT 200h Premium review notes - AutoWeek
DIGITAL EDITOR ANDREW STOY: Considering it has Corolla underpinnings, the heart of a Prius and some fancy trimmings, I was not expecting much from the 2013 Lexus CT 200h , but this car actually impressed me quite a bit. Even Lexus' wacky mouse interface for Enform worked well. Of course, there's no disguising the CT's hybrid driveline, though I will give credit to Lexus for making it a relatively painless experience. normal is slow and Eco makes the car feel like there's a giant rubber band stretched between the bumper and some immovable object, against which the car is constantly straining. Usually the combination of low rolling resistance tires, electric power steering and utter absence of any sporting pretensions makes for a Conestoga wagon driving experience, but the CT 200h just feels … normal. Again, it's not a sports car, but as an efficient compact luxury car, it's nicely balanced. Granted, none of them get 43 mpg in the city, but then neither did our CT. Source: autoweek.com
