I need some advice from the members. I am seriously considering the purchase of a CT200h to replace a Prius that I have been driving over 100 miles a day for the last six years. It's time to hand over the Prius to my daughter. I really like the CT200h because of the creature comforts, luxury and MPG. My only concern is the interior room. I am a big guy and it feels a bit snug to me. Maybe I am just accustomed to driving an Easter egg and I should get over it.
I have looked at many other cars but have ruled most of them out because of either high cost or low MPG. I looked at a 2012 Volkswagen Passat TDI SEL yesterday. Fully loaded it was $33k compared to the Lexus CT200h $39k sticker. It also had a ton of room, comparable electronics and got 30-40MPG EPA estimate on Diesel. It did seem a bit cheap inside though even for their luxury model. Can I get some thoughts on this?
