2014 Facelift

[gareth1902]

I understand that the CT was revised in 2014. I have owned a 2011 version but I am wondering if the changes made in 2014 made a big difference to the car. I have done some research and obviously the front was redesigned and also the powertrain remapped. My wife is thinking of getting a CT and I am wondering if it is worth the extra cash to get a post 2014 model or whether the differences are so negligible then I may as well save the money and get a pre facelift one?

A good starting point would be to search this forum for "Facelift".

In particular, take a look at this thread which I believe sums things up nicely:

The main changes are cosmetic. 

The suspension was made slightly less hard but only slightly. The power train itself is exactly the same. The only difference is the CVT which has been tuned to be more linear when picking up speed 

Interior was mainly steering wheel change and centre screen was made slimmer. 

Personally I think the post facelift is worth it for the looks alone. But its not much different inside to the pre facelift and powertrain is the same

Changes internally are so minor it’s hardly worth the charge unless exterior looks are important.
