The interior of the Lexus is very nice, much nicer than the standard Prius. The size is very “right” as well.
The CT isn’t a powerhouse, but the chassis has a little liveliness baked in. It’s not as dull as a Corolla.
The paint seems of very high quality, or maybe the one we looked at was just very well cared for.
The prices are all over hell. A 2012 seems to be priced between $15K and $25K! What a ridiculous range! And no rhyme nor reason to it - low mileage one owner ones for $15-17K and similar ones for $25K.
The decision is about how important awd would be.
