I've had my CT for 3 weeks now. There's not much power, but I bought the CT for the quiet, comfort, and smoothness, all of which it has in gallons. Speaking of gallons, my average mpg is 52, doing 75+mph on the highway, etc. I guess I have a super-soft foot, as I can't imagine how you guys are getting below 45mpg.
I installed the Curt trailer hitch in about 25 minutes. Very easy to install and torque down. Here it is with a bike rack and bike attached:
I'd definitely be nervous adding anything more than two mountain bikes to the back, but gas mileage was not affected on my 3 hour drive with the bike+luggage in tow.
My only (minor) complaint so far: the media holder rattles when my phone is in it! I took it apart last night to see if I could tighten down the mechanism to no avail. Still, the car is super-tight. Coming from a rattly, stiff, loud Mini Cooper S, it's bliss.
Looks very nice... Im leary abouy my hatch/trunk mount bike rack and will probably go this route.
Any contact info for the hitch would be greatly appreciated!

Yeah, I did a hatch-mounted bike rack once in my entire life and the weight of the bike put a small divot in my Mini's bumper. Never again. Also, it'd be faster/easier to just put it inside the car at that point! Hitch-mounted is the way to go.
I got the hitch from juicedhybrid.com. It arrived the next day! If you're comfortable tinkering with mechanical items, you'll have no problem installing it yourself. I didn't even jack it up.
Hi all,
I'm new to this forum. I'm learning to check community forums having had the bad realization of issues apparently 'known' to BMW X1 community regarding the N20 engines.
So, I am soon to be shopping for a new car again and the CT200h came up on my list of cars to look into.
I thought...
Hello everyone,
This is my first post here and I am hoping you all can help.
I own a 2013 CT200h which has been great for my purposes.
However the low beam headlights have stopped working (high beam works)
I figured the issue most likely is due to a fuse blown out.
When I looked into it the...
I've seen talk about this from a few years ago but I'm having trouble now. 2012 with 75000 miles wont go into ready mode. It started out intermittently not starting but now it will not start at all. I took out the 12v battery and had it tested, they said the battery is fine it just needed a...
Hi, "Cat-car" owners & fans -
When it worked with the cigarette lighter style input device, it would only ever charge at a ridiculously slow rate, for a car with extra battery power, seems something must be wrong. I have a theory that I might have spilled some coffee in there, because now it's...
Hello all,
My phone is way too big for the cell phone holder the CT200h came with. Does anyone know any alternative holder that also fits in the slot the OEM was intended for?
