Well the time finally came to trade in my second CT200h. I’ll certainly miss the comfort on long journeys and near silent electric mode. 
 

Before the switch to Lexus I had a Suzuki Swift Sport and while the CT200h was far better on fuel and cabin quality I did always miss the fun of a pokey engine and manual transmission. With the world changing due to COVID and a house move to be closer to my workplace my car needs have changed. With the CT200h being end of life and Lexus seemingly focused on SUVs I’ve now left the mark (for now). Time to return to a hot hatch before everything goes Battery powered - a Fiesta ST. Oddly it is cheaper to insure than the CT200h. 

Thank you for all the advice over the past few years. I’ll still be popping in from time to time. 🙂

The new one with Recaro seats? Long time since I had a car with Recaro seats. As I remember they were firm, firm and more firm, but not uncomfortable.

Small cars find parking spaces more often. We keep our CT and do not envy those with bigger cars.

Yes quite firm and narrow (although I expect they will give a bit as they wear in). At least they do have lumbar support now and actually proving more comfortable than they look.  Certainly a bit different to the very comfy leather seats in the CT.

Do not expect that. Recaro stay firm. If you fit in one they are perfect.

The one in our CT has lumbar support
