Hi All -

Just traded in my dying 2008 Ford Edge for a 2016 CT base with 10,500 miles. Been having a blast the last 3 days. Love the cornering and the ability to adjust from sport to eco on the fly. Going to have to look at options to move the power ports...wth was Lexus thinking?!? This one came with heated wipers and mirror...will come in handy in MN winters. Anyone have any cold-weather tips? Winter is coming...

Welcome


We had a remote starter installed last fall when we bought it, very practical to warm up a bit before leaving (wife doesn't like the car in the garage)
No problems at all on the snow, it s the iced snow banks it doesn't like much. My lower front bumper it s cracked.

My wife works at 4km( 2.5 mi) from home and fuel consumption was the first criteria. We 're averaging 49mpg on summer vs 29mpg last winter. I can't wait to see next winter.

I would say for best handling and grip in snow have another set of dedicated winter snow tires. I know it's a bit of a hassle and expense, but well worth it for safety.

i did that with my previous car and still have them in my garage... does anyone know if the stock steelies from an o4 pontiac vibe/toyota matrix will fit the ct?
