He said, she said: Test driving the Lexus CT200h

When you cover more than 200 km per day like Martin Lessard, a hybrid makes a lot of sense.

Céline Huneault and her parrot wouldn’t buy a Lexus CT200h.

Hmmm... How am I going to get all that in the trunk?

The solution: lower the rear seat backs, but forget taking any passengers!

Besides weekends and vacations, Céline Huneault doesn’t need a car. For her, it’s hard to justify buying a hybrid.

Our test couple really liked the Lexus CT200h’s lines.

The Huneault/Lessard duo were impressed by the quality of the materials and the finish. But they agree that there are too many buttons!

After a week (meaning at least 1,000 km), Martin Lessard maintained an average of 5.2 L/100 km.

The relatively weak power of the CT200h’s engine didn’t bother of test drivers. The CVT, on the other hand, left them both disappointed.
