Buying the 2011 Lexus CT

We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2011 Lexus CT for sale by us right now. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Buying the 2011 Lexus CT is a big decision; here is the information we have.

A buyer's checks

NHTSA has 27 owner complaints on file, mostly about service brakes, engine and air bags. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. NHTSA lists 1 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed.

The figures, translated

The 1.8L 4-cylinder hybrid with front-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at. As a hybrid, it does best in stop-and-go traffic, where the electric motor does more of the work. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.

At 5.7 L/100 km combined, a 300 km drive takes roughly 17 litres of fuel. In energy, every 100 km costs about $8.84 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$1,600 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

When the CT makes sense

It suits stop-and-go driving and rideshare or delivery work. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.

How big it is

As a compact car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. The trunk holds 396 litres by the EPA's count: about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

Drive it on your own roads

Rent the CT for a week and see how it fits your life. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.

Year and trim

Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Within the 2011 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.

Running costs

A 1,000 km month costs roughly $88.40 at our price setting. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. The EPA estimates US$1,600 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Still deciding?

Send a request to rent the model first, or ask us what we can do.

Rent it for a week before you buy
