DD for the Wife.
I was gonna troll post, but ended up with this: a legit question.
My parents have 2 of them, and selling one. I would get a good deal, obviously.
2013 Lexus CT200H F-Sport with 3k miles.
To replace her current 2010 Prius with every single bell/whistle (solar roof, moon roof, leather everything, power everything, navi, back up camera, bluetooth, smartkey, plasmacluster ac, heated seats, etc etc etc. too much crap to list)
Troll posts to buy some retarded gas guzzler or crap bucket will be ignored.
Kthxbi

Yep - it's got a prius engine, and I think even chassis (not sure). Re-done suspension, a WHOLE lot more sound deadening, plushness, and basically "Lexus swag"
And it looks a whole lot less gay
But really, we love our prius. Like for serious. And not because we're "tree huggers" or hippies or any of that crap. I could care less about pollution.
Kinda curious to hear everyone's opinions on this tho: if you were in the market for something in this category, would you lean toward another car? I guess that's what I'm wondering about.

My parents owned a prius and it wasnt a bad car. My concern was the recommended expensive battery replacement maintenance after 100k ish miles. But it seems like no one does that and it doesn't affect the mpgs at all.

Unless its about the fuel economy there are better cars out there for sure. We just picked up a 335i. 300+ Hp stock, yet driven mildly nets good fuel efficiency.
I put a JB4 on it which can further improve fuel efficiency but also performance- car now has 400hp and is a hoot.
Lexus makes awesome, reliable cars no doubt. But I'd be looking at an IS/ GS/ even and older LS first.

No. Hell no. Run away no.
But for you and your wife? Sure. I just couldn't drive something that absolutely gutless. But I'm sure the comfort is great and the MPG are great. I'd go Mazda 3 or GTI/Golf.Bit smaller though.

Not bad
our "other" family car is a 320wtq '13 wrx, about to become 400wtq in the very near future
it's got the guts you are looking for
because good deal
but also because it's a compact hatchback, which provides quite a bit of room and utility, while being really small in exterior dimensions.
This is not the case with other Lex's. Also it takes 87, oil changes are every 10k miles, and doesn't need pretty much anything else for the next 100k, and that includes brake pads.
Trust me, I used to scoff at hybrids, and in the past 5 years or so have had my views completely changed by actually owning a few.

you can still put them down and have plenty of space, but not as much as the prius. It's weird: even though the prius "tapers" more in the back, it is actually still huge inside, while the CT seems to "keep the roofline high" like a true hatchback, and yet is smaller.
