My 2011 CT200h (Prius in fancy clothes) was totaled and stumbled upon an opportunity to purchase a Prime Limited (ordered but buyer backed out) and am I glad - miss the styling of the Lexus but let me tell you the technology, efficiency and comfort of the PP are much better - will never win a road race but if you drive like a normal person this is a great vehicle, bit noisy on the … highway or poor road surface, and you do catch glare off the large screen - but the 100MPG i'm getting (real world factoring in electric costs) nice 10 speaker stereo, radar cruise, auto wipes/highbeams, heated seats/wheel, nice visibility and silent on 30 miles electricity more than make up for it
My commute? 22 miles each way, charge at home and work, last tank saw well over 1,200 miles only because I had to take a road trip
Is the limited worth it? I think so, lots of safety features, parking sonar, cross traffic, bigger speakers/sub - that sort of thing - I most likely will never us the self parking (if you can't park this little car then you should not be on the road in my opinion) and frankly, with new cars averaging 42k this little guy is a steal at $34,500 with a $4,500 fed tax credit - got $16k for the CT due to the crazy market so out the door, brand new limited, $15k......
