Lexus-CT

Do like Eric Burdon - paint it black

Nice car. Very special colour combination; when new gasoline cars no longer can be bought (if that will ever happen), it may be worth much more than today.

The batteries from 2011 are Ni-Mh and not Li-Ion. Here the OEM batteries are warranted 15 years if maintained yearly (cost 60€] by Lexus. Meaning you pay 720€ to have a warranted battery 15 years; first years are warranted from factory. Li-Ion last less. Just ask drivers of electric cars. Are proton batteries what we need in order not to make the climate worse by not doing anything that politicians are used to, while they only care about making money? Li-ions and cobalt are not a solution, as the search for them is destroying the planet. It doesn't look like the climate situation will improve on its own. https://www.hydrogenfuelnews.com/proton-battery-technology/8560049/

I believe that radar is biult into every CT. Mark Levinson audio is the best factory installed I have had. Lexus navigation sucks. Cruise control in Lexus is OK but every time somebody (idiots) come in close in front of you when overtaking the car brakes by itself a bit hard in my opinion. One of the best little cars we have owned, maybe the most well equipped from factory.

We all have bad milage if you compare to what ads promise. Live in mountain area and hav 6½ L / 100km. Comparing to what Lexus did claim when we bought the car 3.8L/100km it is pretty bad. All companies tell us we can drive longer on a full tank than possible in real life. Not just Lexus. ECO or normal mode is different. If you press pedals hard in ECO you use more gas than when doing it in normal mode. Talking about miles and gallons is difficult to me as there are more than 3 different lenght of miles (I know Sweden, UK and US at least) and gallons are not same all over the world, maybe not even same all over US.

If you can balance rear and front I would say that the more speakers you have sounding the better soundstage you will get. Have the Mark Levinson in car and can decide if having all power front (or rear), but find that best sound is when all speakers are playing.
