  1. It's definitely marmite looking. I doubt it will look like that though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. Think the CT has hard suspension then you should drive a Suzuki Swift Sport. I bought it brand new last year and had enough of it after 6 months. It's so harsh and back breaking to drive. I got rid and got the CT instead. Going from tin can to luxury [emoji4] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. I was the same when I first got the CT. now it's much better. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. Must admit it does look good like you say but not the other. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. Same as the later CT,s as owners are reporting similar. Also there are complaints of music from USB is taking a long time to load (5 mins +). Thankfully on mine (2011) I have the mouse and can navigate very easy with it. I haven't yet tried USB as I Bluetooth music. I may now experiment with this to see if I get this problem.

  6. I've got the Mark Levinson system in my CT and it's amazing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  7. Looks great. White and Black is a good colour combination. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  8. To be honest the answer is yes I would. If it's Lexus full history definitely. My CT SE L Premier had 62K when I bought it and its immaculate inside and out with Lexus FSH. A friend of mine has also the same model and is also a 2011 model and he got his with 91K and Lexus FSH.His CT had been faultless like mine with only servicing done to it. These cars are extremely reliable just like the Prius. On the US CT forums owners have mileages of 200K + with no problems at all,and even on the original battery packs(traction). That certainly tells you something about these cars. If all looks OK to you then buy one. They're a great car. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. I thought I do a write up on replacing the puddle light bulb in the door mirror. I didn't take photos of this but have followed and used photos from the US CT forum. I replaced the capless bulb with a standard one and not LED. Firstly move the mirror to its highest setting (pointing up) to gain access to the underneath of it. Using a trim removal tool or a covered flat head screwdriver prise the mirror upwards to release it from the clips. Do the same for the top of the mirror. Looks like this after. Inside you'll see 5 screws. Remove all of them to release the outer mirror cover. This will leave the mirror looking like this. The puddle light unit is in the bottom of the assembly. Release the light unit from its holder and unscrew the bulb holder to change the bulb. Which is one of these. Before reassembly check that it works by locking the car with the remote and unlocking. Refitting is as removal but make sure the indicator lamp is aligned back up otherwise the mirror cover will not fit correctly. Caution: When removing mirror glass be patient to part it from its clips with gentle force otherwise it'll break. When refitting apply pressure to the centre of the mirror glass until it clicks back on its mountings. I hope this is of help to anyone if they have to do the same. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. No I couldn't stand it any longer. Fast car but not economical and a very hard suspension. Reviews are great for this car but it's not very well built anymore. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. Very nice indeed. A pain to keep clean like my White CT. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. Also the Swift Sport I had before this. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. Hi and here's some pics of my CT Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  14. Welcome and a great car you have now. Enjoy! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  15. Great car [emoji4] Economy is about right. In my CT I use the P & G method (pulse and glide) as used on the US Prius forum. Basically get up to speed and back off the throttle a bit and glide in EV mode. Works a treat [emoji4] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  16. Hi and welcome. Great car. Enjoy [emoji4] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  17. Hi and welcome. Same car as me but mines Arctic Pearl. Hope you enjoy the economy and luxury ride. I agree about the ride,it is a little hard but not as bad as the F Sport. I've slightly deflated my tyres to 34psi to get a slightly better ride. It helps a bit. The ML system has an awesome sound. Here's mine. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  18. Great choice and and a lovely car. I agree on your previous car. I had a Swift Sport before my CT and couldn't put up with all the noise and keeping in the revs for power especially on motorways. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  19. Someone on the US site has hardwired the cam on an ign feed which is located in the front dome lights. It makes it so much easier than running the wires behind the A pillar trim and under the dash. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  20. That would be a better idea for this topic and any future ones if there are any. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  21. I haven't received anything yet too. I did phone Lexus UK but they said just wait until the official letters go out to all involved. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  22. Hi and welcome. That's a great car you just got. I hope you have 1000,s of enjoyable miles with it [emoji4] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  23. The same on mine too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  24. Heard a lot good things about the Camry on the US CT forum. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  25. Excellent. Great result [emoji4] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
