Certified Pre-Owned: the 2011 Lexus CT
CarmaCars rents cars; this page helps you judge the 2011 Lexus CT before you buy one elsewhere. For anyone shopping for the 2011 Lexus CT, here are the facts that matter.
Recalls and complaints
NHTSA has 27 owner complaints on file, mostly about service brakes, engine and air bags. There are 1 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
Reading the spec sheet
Under the hood: the 1.8L 4-cylinder hybrid and front-wheel drive. 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.
Plan on about 17 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 5.7 L/100 km. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $88.40. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$1,600 a year for 15,000 miles.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.
What to expect from the CT
It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. With 396 litres of luggage space by the EPA's measure, it takes about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
A longer test drive
Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. Try the CT on your commute, then decide. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.
Which one to look for
A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
What it costs to run
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. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $8.84 in fuel.
