Going from Prius to CT200h?
Hi everybody,
I am a new member to these forums and would like to introduce myself.
We (me and my wife) are lieving in Israel, driving a Prius and considering CT.
Our first prius was a Gen 2, we decided on it for environmental reasons and freeing the world from OPEC dependecy. Petrol bill was only second to these two.
We had it for 3 years (Sept. 2006 to Sept. 2009), 60000 km and lifetime consumption of 4.7 l/100km (21.3 km/l or 50 mpg fuel economy).
We traded it in for Gen 3 (being one of the first in our country), 24000 km till now with consumption of 4.4 l/100km (22.7 km/l or 53.5 mpg).
I must say, we love our Prius which exceeds our expectations. Did not think we will look for any other car, however, a Lexus with a Prius drive train - this is something else.
We took a test drive two days ago at the official launch in Israel and fell in love.
We liked its appearance, the way it's ride and handled, steering and braking feel better, interior is way much better (did I forget anything? probably yes).
Its trunk and rear seats legroom are smaller, but these are not realy an issue for us. Rear view is poorer but we intend to go for the back-up camera.
What will we miss? Head-Up-Display which is standard in European Prius and keyless entry/locking (in CT available only in the highest trim level).
"Who cares it is a Hybrid" my wife said "IT IS A LEXUS"
Unfortunately, for some reasons we have to wait to June with the purchase, however I will try to be active on these forums.
