I'd rather have a prius. It's not pretending.
 

and that is what I got for my wife over a CT. I like the CT but the current series IV Prius is faster, smoother, quieter, better economy, easily better ride quality and is more practical. The TNGA platform handles well to. It is just odd to look at.

Unfortunately Lexus haven't upgraded the CT chassis or hybrid drivetrain since it launched because the Auris hasn't had those upgrades yet and the CT is based on that. That all happens later in the year.

I like the interior though. Outside is odd.

Somebody said "go kart" handling. Can't have driven a kart. CT is way too soft to be compared to anything quite as sporty as a kart. CT sport might be sporty in CT terms ,however, in real terms a modern 1.4 will see it right off in all but economy.(economy- which is its prime function).

Of course a “1.4” will probably be better as the CT is not a hot hatch or made for performance.

I have driven karts before and I was comparing the handling to be like a kart (if you want to nit pick). It’s by no means soft suspension on a CT,it’s quite a firm ride on pre 14. I don’t know about the later ones.
