Lexus CT200h for Motorway/A road commuting?
Discussion
Just wondering if anyone has any experience of the Lexus CT200h/Prius for fairly high speed commuting. I've had a drive in one at low speed around town but not yet on a Motorway/A-road.
My commute is 40 miles return on some fairly mundane A-road, 50-60mph with the odd bit of overtaking/passing slower traffic.
I'm looking for a replacement car and (unfortunately?) the CT200h sort of fits the bill - small, nice interior/audio, reliable, Japanese. I'm not exactly sold on the CVT/Hybrid power train but since I've got another car for track my commute has become more about sitting back and listening to music/podcasts.
I would be going from a 2.0 diesel with about 130bhp.
How do these CVT Hybrids like accelerating and cruising at 50mph+? Big concern would be how capable they are at metering speed or accelerate/overtake/join carriageways compared to my current car.
Any comments including abuse are appreciated.
