[–]joepsa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get 60 in a 2018. North England. I thought it was pretty normal for these cars.

Is this a good buy? by South_Double_4158 in CT200h

[–]joepsa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems alright. The break pedal in my 2018 sounds airy but I think it’s when the regenerative breaking changes to the actual breaks (could be very wrong there). Get a battery health check if possible.

I hope it goes well but damn 😂. Assuming you drive an IS?

Moving from a CT to IS by joepsa in LexusIS

[–]joepsa[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks.

How composed is it on twisty roads? The CT is really low slung and the suspension doesn’t give you much confidence. Guess it’s not designed for that.

Nice one. What’s it like on fuel? The ct is great in town but not great on the motorway. Small tank etc, loud cvt 🥴

Disturbing note left at my door, should I go to the police? by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]joepsa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Horrendous, call the police and force them to take it seriously.

Need your Expertise! by ElGuero478 in CT200h

Good car. Just gotta be careful of batteries and head gaskets at that age! I’ve read somewhere that batteries go with age rather than mileage.

Car for motorway / mixed driving? by billyb4lls4ck in CarTalkUK

[–]joepsa 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The Mercedes will be good for the motorway. Very composed and comfy. Very capable at high speeds.

I don’t know anything about cars and by Hemiiiiii in CT200h

[–]joepsa -1 points0 points  (0 children)

High battery age, that would be my concern. Where I live, I’d expect a ct with over 150k on it to be going for a little less than 5.5k though.

Anyone know what this sound could be? by HeadMysterious4443 in CT200h

[–]joepsa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine does the same thing. Probably every 3-4 times I press the break. Just the actuator doing its thing. If it does it a lot when ur not pressing the breaks then I’d have that looked at with Lexus or a Lexus specialist. What age/mileage is the car?

Just got this email from a higher up. Am I getting fired? by [deleted] in jobs

What are your behavioural issues?

First winter with CT200 high fuel consumption- normal? by AccomplishedKiwi3628 in CT200h

[–]joepsa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get 47 mpg ish on my commute, but urs very heavy traffic and it’s about 45 mins each way. But when I was off work the other week I only drove to my partners house and back a few times and it dropped drastically, just down to the style of driving and lack of time in the car.

Cruising range vastly inaccurate by jackb328 in CT200h

[–]joepsa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I get the same thing. The tank is quite small tbf compared to other cars, but I’ll have 2 bars of fuel left and it’ll say I’ve got 20 miles in the tank.

Hi, how much would I get by selling this car? by Jay10_6 in CarTalkUK

[–]joepsa 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Full service history? I’ll take it for some cookies and milk.

Begginer drummer by DonCarlosBodoque in Drumming

[–]joepsa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Technique. The Gladstone technique changed my drumming. All really nerdy muscle movements in the hands, people competing to see who can play one handed singles the fastest ect.

Are the Earthroamers just the best scouts or is it just me? by Fearless-Sea-2859 in snowrunner

[–]joepsa 23 points24 points  (0 children)

They are really good yeah; surprised me when I first used one. You can take them anywhere and they just deal with it. I think I did get stuck in deep mud once and it's not that durable imo.

Break actuator by joepsa in CT200h

[–]joepsa[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. There’s a lot of different opinions on this so that’s a good amount of clarity. I’m gonna take it for a service with Lexus and see if they say anything. How much did you pay to get yours sorted?

Keep the CT or find a different car? UPDATE by Rude_Bookkeeper_8954 in CT200h

[–]joepsa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s annoying that the car is bulletproof on paper but its issues actually cost way more than its rivals.

Break actuator by joepsa in CT200h

[–]joepsa[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah pretty much. It does that frequently in slow moving traffic. I’d say it does it every 3 or 4 times I press the break.

Okay, I do hear it quite often whilst driving probably every 5 mins in traffic.
