Thanks for all the replies - really useful info! I am now torn between a 2012 Premier and a 2014 Advance - both have around 30k on the clock and are similarly priced. My main concern is that the life expectancy of the battery. I have read about the Hybrid Health check that is required annually in order to retain the warranty ... but only until the 10th anniversary of registration. What happens after this? And how long can I realistically expect the battery to "live" for ... will it eventually need replacing? I guess that would be expensive!!

Hi there, I have just joined the forum as I am looking at purchasing a CT200h - however, the more I look at, the more I am getting slightly baffled by the spec levels! The model I have been looking at most is the Advance, which seems to have most of the things that I am looking for (sat nav, reversing camera, cruise control) but I have a couple of queries which I would be really grateful if someone could help me with! Am I right in saying that the spec levels for the post facelift are: Advance, Luxury, Premier and before facelift there is SE and SE-L? Is there a list somewhere of the different spec levels? Are the sat navs just UK maps or do they include Western Europe maps too? Are there map upgrades available and how much do they cost? (not sure how this works, I have never had a car with a built-in satnav - I currently have a Tom Tom with lifetime map upgrades). What is radar cruise control, and which spec would it come with? I have been offered a test drive in a 2012 Premier which has the Mark Levinson sound system - is it worth it? Does this also mean a different level of sat nav? Many thanks in advance!
