Car leasing: the 2011 Lexus CT

CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2011 Lexus CT for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. We do not lease cars. A monthly rental has no long contract: each booking runs up to 365 days. This page sets out the 2011 Lexus CT for buyers, in plain words.

A buyer's checks

A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Owners filed 27 complaints with NHTSA, most often about service brakes, engine and air bags; have those parts checked. There are 1 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.

Specs, explained

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. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.

Its combined rating is 5.7 L/100 km, which means roughly 17 litres for 300 km. A weekend of 300 km comes to about $26.52 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$1,600 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

What the CT is like

Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. EPA lists 396 litres of luggage space, enough for about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

A good match for

It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. Its low fuel use suits long commutes and high-kilometre weeks.

A longer test drive

Rent the CT first, and buy only if it fits your life. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. Rent first, buy later: a week with the CT answers the big questions.

Money matters

Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$1,600 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Choosing the right one

Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
