I live in Tampa, FL and have a Premium Mica Grey. I have logged 6,000 miles and have only one complaint. The passenger side door grab handle has come loose. Lexus has already acknowledged it is a known issue and is waiting for replacement parts. Even with the door issue, I made the right decision ot trade my 2010 Prius III.

Your car sounds like the car that lady won from the contest (delvered by Lexus of Tampa Bay)...
As for the passenger door issue. I wasn't told if there was a TSB out; but I know that my car along w/ a white one were photographed extensively for technical feedback to Lexus engineers. I have been dealing w/ Lexus Tampa Bay (who have been outstanding) and they have a complete replacement door panel on order. That is the downside, due to production issues and tsunami recovery things are moving slow.
As for the Prius vs CT200h argument. I have ZERO regrets making the trade. Lexus TB gave me everything I wanted plus another $1,500. Granted I paid sticker (not the adjusted value one) and my payment nearly doubled. With all that said, I don't regret it. One of the main reasons is the CT has a multi-link suspension vs the Prius' trailing arm. Handling is night and day in addition to overall improved comfort (Bluetooth audio is a HUGE plus!!!!).
As for my car, I have a Mica Grey with the Black NULUXE interior. I did get a premium car but without the NAVI as the core system is NAVTEK and I have had horrible experiences w/ them in previous cars. And.... I spent $200 dollars for a GARMIN NUVI with traffic... I just saved myself $2000 and have the same functionality.
I had no idea LEX TB gave one away, I bet that lady is happy... Pretty cool to win the hottest car in America right now.
