  1. Dear Jack, You might be pleasantly surprised by the performance. I think they go better after even a few hundred kilometres. Out on the open road, I've never found the CT lacking, much to the amazement of a few Falcodores and others. Good luck with your new car. I love my Flame Blue F Sport.
  2. My partner acquired a CT200h 'Luxury" about six months ago. I have often been driving it over that period of time and I have been so smitten with it I have traded my IS250 on a CT200h f Sport (arriving in two or three weeks), I like the comfort, the quiet, the build quality and of course the economy is a given. I went on a 1,200km trip recently and despite what some people say about the performance, I found that out on the open road it was quite a 'pocket rocket'. That settled it for me and I know I am going to love the little CT more than most cars I have owned including Mercedes and a few Lexus. There's a feel good factor about the CT that is hard to explain and seems to grow on you.
  3. StephenM: Thanks for telling me of your own experience. I still can't quite believe that I have traded the IS, which is a lovely car. Perhaps the CT reminds me somehow of my first Lexus, an IS200. It's a compact car, not all about hot rod performance, but with a certain unique personality and driving characteristics. Anyway, I'm an "oldie" who is determined to grow old disgracefully. To my delight some friends have already expressed their incredulity when they see the new little "pocket rocket".
  4. StephenM: My Lexus salesperson suggested to me that voice command often seems inconsistent. Success depends on lack of any background noise; a person's manner of speaking; and their ability to consistently repeat the command precisely as recorded, and in a similar tone and inflexion. I have had limited experience with voice command and with only limited success. After the novelty has worn off, I have given up on it. I have read commentary on many makes of car and voice control always seems to be problematic. I think the technology has got a little way to go. If Ford has got something to work properly, I am tempted to say it would be the first time! I hope you are enjoying your CT. My partner bought a CT200h Luxury and I love it so much that I have decided to trade in my IS250 on a CT200h F Sports in flame blue and water white trim (I don't like all black interiors). It's meant to arrive in February. I read on an American Lexus Forum about a guy who drove a Corvette who bought a CT for his wife, and now they have agreed to swap cars! Best wishes over the holiday season - take care!
  5. You have to think why it is the humble Ford Focus being advertised on TV lately shows extensive use of voice commands but yet Lexus has disabled this feature for the Australian market.
  6. StephenM: Stone the flamin' crows, cobber, I've been told the problem is they don't have much luck with our wonderful Aussie spoken word. Bugger me, it's hard to believe.
