Trade in: the 2016 Lexus CT

CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2016 Lexus CT; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. Before you buy the 2016 Lexus CT, here is what the figures say and what to look at.

Recalls and complaints

A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. NHTSA has 3 owner complaints on file, mostly about electrical system, service brakes and vehicle speed control. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.

Specs, explained

The 1.8L 4-cylinder hybrid is what moves it, with 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.

At 5.7 L/100 km combined, a 300 km drive takes roughly 17 litres of fuel. Per 100 km, plan on roughly $8.84. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$1,600 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Space and size

Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. The trunk holds 396 litres by the EPA's count: about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.

Good uses for the CT

It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.

Try before you buy

A test week in the CT tells you more than any review. Try the CT on your commute, then decide. Rent first, buy later: a week with the CT answers the big questions.

Money matters

At our price setting, 100 km costs about $8.84 in fuel. The EPA estimates US$1,600 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $88.40 at our price setting.

Picking a year and a trim

A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Within the 2016 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.

Questions first?

A rental request is free; the offer shows the full price.

Rent it for a week before you buy

A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 2016 Lexus CT from us first.
