What cars is the CT200H competing against?

I have no desire to make it a power monster. I have plenty of other toys that do that. I liken the CT to more of a Briggs and Stratton Go kart VS a 125 shifter kart.

With the Briggs kart you just keep it floored and go around the track never slowing down for the turns. :D
 
:D

I'm hoping to test drive one in Columbus when we take my nephew up there for a soccer match in 2 weeks. Have you had a test drive yet?

Havent had a test drive yet. hopefully in the near future. Been way busy at the shop to go to one of the other dealerships. I stopped by the one near our shop the other day and the salesman was horrible. i wound up walking right back out the door.
 
The focus is not really a competitor, IMO. If you are OK with the Focus interior, road noise, etc, then the luxury interior of the CT simply isn't worth the money. If you want a really nice interior, the Focus won't cut the mustard. So, do you want a nice interior or is a nice interior not worth the extra money? Answering that question should quickly eliminate either the CT or Focus.

Personally, I want something that is a very nice place to be. This car will see 15k miles/year and I want to be very comfortable and relaxed during my travels. My last car was a Golf GTI. The interior is what sold it on me even though it didn't have the performance of the Mazdaspeed 3 and the Subaru WRX. It was worth the slight compromise in performance to get what was a much better interior. So, my next car needs to be as good or better than my GTI interior.
Hi Q, looks like NASIOC'ers are going to take over.
