线程： 快速驱动器： 2011年雷克萨斯 CT200h

当我第一次看到 2011年雷克萨斯 CT200h 在高速公路上时我以为是 2011 马自达 3 两厢车。对一些，这可能是负面的评论，但我喜欢的样子的马自达 3 舱口盖比轿车好得多。

花时间与 2011 CT200h 上周的机会的时候我并不失望。 它已经被越来越评论褒贬但我很喜欢它更多比本田 CR-Z 几个星期前，我开车，则该值为 true。虽然其不真的公平的比较两个，因为那里是 1 万元的差价我忍不住但作出比较。 CT200h 是更大，有四个席位，四门 — — 然而，它是运动。

我鸽子 CT200h 期间，它返回 39。根据汽车的电脑，这是少比官方的 EPA 评级的 43/40 英里/加仑 (城市/高速公路) 稍差的 2 英里。什么令人惊讶的是，虽然丰田普锐斯和雷克萨斯 CT200h 共享同一 134 马力 (组合) 杂交系统与 1。8 升的发动机，普锐斯 (prius) 获取很多更好的燃油经济性。即使普锐斯是大它不是相当与 CT200h，表明丰田将更注重经济放在 CT200h 比普锐斯一样重。它对我意义。

像大多数油耗汽车有三种传输设置 — — 经济、 正常和体育。自然的运动模式是最好玩、 特别是作为仪表板照明更改从蓝色到红色和混合电源指示器即会消失，取而代之的转速计。整洁。

总体而言，我没有任何抱怨处理的汽车。它并不真的运动型紧凑但然后它并不真的假装。和别人不同，我没有找到的 CT200hs 内部是令人不安的外观和感觉。那些爱在甘美的内部雷克萨斯 LS 460 被娇生惯养的人可能会失望的虽然。

我有三个抱怨 2011年雷克萨斯 CT200h。惊讶的轮胎噪音的大小考虑如何好雷克萨斯一直在隔离中其其他汽车的声音。后备箱空间有限，这是造成的电池包的高楼层的。终于在第一次获得的麻烦习惯的换档模式。从什么时候开始会感觉移动的拉杆向前反向和倒退的驱动器？

2011 年 CT200h 现在是最低成本车雷克萨斯首发阵容中。如果你想要的雷克萨斯它是一个好的起点。如果你是后经济虽然，丰田普锐斯是便宜，有更多的内部空间和提供更好的燃油经济性。

When I first saw a 2011 Lexus CT200h on the freeway I thought it was a 2011 Mazda3 hatchback. To some, that might be negative comment but I like the looks of the Mazda3 hatch much better than the sedan.

When I got the opportunity to spend time with a 2011 CT200h last week I was not disappointed. True it has been getting mixed reviews but I enjoyed it much more than the Honda CR-Z I drove a few weeks ago. Although its not really fair to compare the two, as there is a $10,000 price difference I could not help but make the comparison. The CT200h is bigger, has four seats, four doors — yet it is sportier.

During the time I dove the CT200h it returned 39. 2 mpg according to the cars computer, which was slightly worse less than the official EPA ratings of 43/40mpg (city/highway). Whats really surprising is that, although the Toyota Prius and Lexus CT200h share the same 134-horsepower (combined) hybrid system with a 1. 8-liter engine, the Prius gets much better fuel economy. Even though the Prius is larger it is not quite as heavy as the CT200h, which suggests that Toyota put more emphasis on economy in the Prius than in the CT200h. It makes sense to me.

Like most fuel-sipping cars there are three transmission settings – economy, normal and sport. Naturally the Sport mode was most fun, especially as the instrument panel lighting changes from blue to red and the hybrid power indicator disappears to be replaced by a tachometer. Neat.

Overall, I had no complaints about the cars handling. Its not really a sporty compact but then it does not really pretend to be. Unlike others, I did not find the look and feel of the CT200hs interior to be disconcerting. Those who love being coddled in the luscious interior of a Lexus LS 460 might be disappointed, though.

I have three gripes about the 2011 Lexus CT200h. The amount of tire noise was surprising considering how good Lexus has been at isolating sounds in its other cars. The trunk space is limited because of the high floor caused by the battery pack. Finally, I had trouble at first getting used to the gearshift pattern. Since when does it make sense to move the lever forward for reverse and backwards for drive?

The 2011 CT200h is now the lowest cost car in the Lexus lineup. If you want a Lexus its a good starting point. If youre after economy though, the Toyota Prius is less expensive, has more interior space and delivers better fuel economy.
