Gd build sturdy quiet enuf cabin sound , gd sound system , std not lcd pop navigatioin , fc is 13.5km/l firm ride is sporty setup ,

This is my first car and I have to say I am loving it. It is agile, nimble yet comfortable and has enough features to keep you happy.

Just bought the premium version, engine suppose to be a 1.8l, but the performance is 1.1L standard. Tried tuning but still doesn't help, fuel economy was at 12km/l, that was shockingly disappointed. After the purchase, words came that a 2 new version will be available soon, CTF and CT300H, more regrets....

The only 3 reasons to buy the car is if you are a lexus lover, and you are looking for a small compact with great sound system.

i need to pump close to $750 dollars of fuel every month thus i decided to try out a hybrid and base on my calculation, i could be see a saving of $350 to $400 from fuel per month and 3 to 4 k per year.

since i got a good deal from my old lexus i decided to try hybrid as i dont think fuel prices will come down ever and it will only go up .

the car i book is quite basic no electric seats or frills , just save fuel and that all i need. but the selling price is a bit high for such a basic car but being a high milage user i guess no choice as this car will save me more as i use it quite alot.

reliablity is another important point, having own bmw and merc. i am truly disappointed by the build quality. the gear box of the bmw would almost need a full service when i hit 75k milage while my lexus still feel the same at 68k milage

for the merc as it was supercharge , the mechanic told me that engine oil always leak out due to the high pressure and regular changing small cheap parts are require, that means to me more wasted time in workshop and more monies.

if you are a heavy milage person then something cheap , easy and save fuel would be the top priority and safety.

thus the lexus get my vote
