AMS

I have just taken delivery of my CT having changed from an IS 220d. I am very pleased with the car, like Reecey I feel I am driving slower than before but can accelerate faster if needed and the cornering is good. The ride is a little harder than the IS and the brakes are better, space inside is OK (5’8”) for me and the rear seat passenger, boot space is a little tight but acceptable. I do a mix of local and motorway driving and feel this is a good mix for the car, I think if I was doing 20k plus a year and this was mainly motorway I would have gone for another diesel. It’s a shame the IS 200d is pretty much end of life or I would have been tempted. Overall I am very happy with the car and would recommend it.

When I was ordering mine with factory fitted DAB I was told that a retrofit was more expensive due to the labour to remove the old and then fit the new complete with ariel - I think it was around £580

Has anyone signed up for (or not) the three year servcie plan for the CT200h. I have been offered three years servicing eg 10,000, 20,000 and 30,000 mikes for £495. Is this a reasonable deal? does anyone know the service costs for the CT in real life. I will ask the dealer and see what that say.

Thanks

Great, thanks for the info - just places an order for a Mercury Grey SE-L Premier with Dab so looking forward to getting Magic FM outside London!

Hi,

Does anyone have experience of the DAB upgrade option on the CT200h?, is it worth having as a factory fitted option, how is DAB from a moving car? Any info approciated

Thanks

I have a 2007 and have had the EGR replaced at the second service under warranty. I drove to the South of France and back two weeks ago and managed 38.6 mpg all motorway and averaging 80mph (130kph) most of the way in 6th, drove from Dover at 70 in a mix of 5th and 6th and managed 43.2. But normally get 34 to 36 urban.
