Hi Scotty,
I am in the market for a new(er) car! My son is turning 16 soon, so I am giving him my 2016 Mazda 6 Touring sedan. I recently fell in love with the little Lexus hatchback at a dealer. Is 2017 the most recent year they made it CT 200h? And what do you think of it?
Thank you so much!
OK, … I’m butting in: … when the love strikes while you at the dealership, walk out and take a long, long cold shower! Not guaranteed if it will work, …
Anyway, … most complicated small car! Great when nothing goes wrong, … but when it does? Watch out! Few outside of dealer network can really work on those, … and they are not cheap, … provided they decide to work on it with diligence.
We had one in the ‘hood, … than it vanished and was replaced by a new Mazda 3. When I asked the owner what happened to his lovely car: "Well, they [local Lexus] just couldn’t sort it out, I feel I paid pretty penny for them to try, and at the end, I just dumped it!”
Perhaps just one out of many? Perhaps, … [The car was out of warranty - crossed 80,000 km - always serviced by the same dealer, it never needed any repairs prior, btw. I’m not sure of the odometer reading at its demise, but it was bit past 100,000 km]
FWIW
F.S.
Very over priced for what it is!
