I regularly get 430 - 450 miles per tank with my 2011 SE-Premier. Also noticed that if you fill up pretty much as soon as low fuel light comes on you still have about 10L of fuel left! What I tend to do now is reset the trip B once cruising range gets to zero and the allow 2 x the tank MPG average before filling up (typically another 80 - 100 miles). Yes, I know risky, but have never run out yet! Never filled up with more than 42L of fuel and it is a 45L tank........

is the tyre pressure monitor standard on UK CT's? I have a SE-L Premier but have never noticed anything anywhere on the car about tyre pressures?

I too am a company car driver, love the tax benefits, must say! In reply to your questions:- 1) One of the key musts I had on my list was an automatic gearbox. Whilst the CVT version in the CT is not a true automatic, I find it fine, whilst a little strange at the same time. Gets a little getting used to the way it revs so high, sounds like the engine is screaming at times. I dread to think what it must sound like to someone outside...........they must think you (or me) have lost the plot 2) I came from a IS220D to the CT so that was a drop from 170bhp. To be honest, I do not notice any difference at all, if anything, the CT is quite potent, especially when in sports mode. I have never had an instance in 12 months of ownership where I felt I was 'down on power' 3) Yes, space is at a premium in the rear and boot space is not the best. However, can fairly easily get 3 kids in the back (11 - 17) and it is not too bad for adults either, passenger / driver may need to adjust their seats forwards a tad but not too much Overall, I am delighted I went to for the CT, whilst it may not be the most powerful / largest car it suits my needs, saves me £100s a year and I do generally love the car, have not had a single issue with it in nearly 12 months of ownership.

I encountered exactly the same thing, took a little while to fathom it out! Also, had a situation where cruise control would not set, thought it was broken but it will not set if you have the engine selector in 'B'............

check you definitely have them fully switched off - have to turn then anti-clockwise until they 'click', light should then go off..... if not then think you have a fault as light should only be on when the bum warmers are on!

Whilst I have never had (or driven) a prius I just do not understand all the negative comments about the CT, I've had mine now for nearly 8 months and simply LOVE the car, would not swap it for anything in my budget. As other people have replied, it defies logic at times just how quick it can be in sports mode and whilst the MPG will never be as good as suggested, I never get less than 52mpg per tank, best has been just over 60mpg on a long motorway run. This is now my 3rd lexus (IS200, IS200D, now CT) and it is by a far way the best ever. The IS200D was a very bad experience but the CT has quickly reminded me exactly why I like Lexus as a brand. I see no reason at all why my next car will not be another CT or whatever hybrid Lexus have out (maybe an IS Hybrid?) I am sure you will love your CT once you get it and will not for a moment regret your choice, I certainly haven't

Found something out last night that whilst only a very minor issue could cause you to come back to a flat battery! I went to the car last night to retrieve a CD for my daughter, opened the PASSENGER door, switched on the power to allow me to extract the CD from the player, switched power off, shut the passenger door and locked the car 10 minutes later daughter asked why my lights were on my car! Looks like if you do the above actions the follow me home lights do not switch off! Like I say, only a minor issue and chances of someone doing this are minimal but all the same better to be aware than come back to a flat battery!

I doubt very much you have a faulty light - mine regularly does not come on until 30 (or less) miles left. Not only that, event when it is on, I reckon I have at least 10L of fuel left in the tank as even if I let the range go to zero I can still only ever get around 35L of fuel in a 45L tank!

Question : Does the CT200h have pressure monitors or not? spec says so but I can't find anything in the manual? Mine is the SE-L Premier........

touch wood, I have not had my dust caps 'lifted' on my CT....must be the local kids have now grown up out of this phase...... Within a few days of my ex-IS they were gone, I got some replacements off ebay and fell into the trap of them becoming welded onto the valves......stuck until the tyres needed changing.........not good!

The quietness is amazing, probably do not quite appreciate it inside the car, let a work colleague drive it once whilst I was outside the car and you then really do appreciate the spookiness of quietness........ loving it!

Well, I tried opening the fuel cap etc, made no difference (assume you have to shove something in there????) But, today coming back from a near 500 mile round trip, got down to zero cruising range and kept going......for another 30 miles and still only managed to get 37L in when I refuelled. MPG for this trip? 57.8mpg and that is without even trying....... Have to say, I totally LOVE this car, cannot understand the people who slate it, I can find no faults what so ever, continually get high 50s MPG, ride is fine, toys superb etc etc after my very bad IS (D) experience this has totally restored my faith in Lexus as a brand

I was under the impression that the fuel tank size on the CT was 45 litres. However, I have never been able to get more than 35 litres in mine, not even when it has been showing the warning light for miles or down to zero cruising range (which it appears to plummit to very quickly once it gets to about 10 / 15 miles to go according to the trip computer) Any ideas / same issue?
