Just regular maintenance and enjoy the mpg
Welcome.

Just check coolant level. If it goes down, possible head gasket issue.

On cold starts in the morning, observe if excessive vibration from engine. Also when engine comes back on while driving. Could point to potential EGR issues.

Check motor oil level once in a while to confirm no excessive oil consumption.

My '12 CT200h do not have any issues so far and regular enough oil change and observing the above should be good enough.

Beautiful!

I bought used cross bars too for the CT but haven't had time to try them on lol.

I quit camping though so probably won't be needing to attach it.

I think fuel economy takes a slight hit with those installed.

I’m still between 44.2 and 46 on average since I switched to Chevron gas with them attached. Without the crossbars and on a lower grade gas I was around 41/42mpg, I’m still using 87 octane just seem to have better mpg with Chevro. I suppose I could remove my crossbars and check what my mpg would be becau it shouldn’t go up after installing them.
