Drove “Cross Country” in my Lowered 2014 CT200h
From CA, drove all the way to Texas and back in this lowered CT. 2,600 ish mile trip. Odo after trip is 118,000 miles.
My pace: I drove 800 miles straight, only interrupted by gas stations every time my tank went to half (8 gallon tank lol) I had to use restrooms every gas starion as I drink a lot of water and standing up and stretching. Then slept at a rest stop for 3 hrs, drank coffee then drove the rest of the way there same routine.
Had no issues going through inspection, or over the border patrol bumps. Averaged 50 MPG flat, 75 mph, and weather was 95-110 degree weather too.
Gas was between $12-20 per fill up. go more east it gets cheaper
This car stock (a well maintained one) is a 10/10 to me, but mine although maintained well is a 7/10, i dont recommend driving far distances lowered, i just did it cuz I wanted to
If you do drive cross country lowered, lemme see your setup I want to get another car soon and need inspo!
