After 5 minutes of sitting in it, I found the controls were nearly infuriating. Guess the ISF is getting a workout this week.

I got one as a rental one time. It took me about 10 minutes to figure out how to put it in Drive. I about had to go ask someone. If there was a serial killer or a fire after me I would’ve died...I was furious.

i mean...I kinda do. we TECHNICAL:LY only have 3 spots outside. (1 car garage...stuffed with bikes)

we actually has to do some landscaping to add the 3rd parking spot.

so whenever we have guests the car sits out on the road or in a parking lot over night

right now, our neighboor doesnt have a car, so they are GRACIOUSLY letting us use their parking spaces (2) for our cars. but i know thats not going to last forever

09/10/2018 at 21:45

I’m more so looking for something that is going to have low running costs. One of the few things that is making me shy away from the Volt is the weight - lugging around that much motor and that much battery means it’s going to make for a fair bit of work for the suspension. Given my current suspension issues, the thought of more suspension work really doesn’t excite me. Although maybe I’m just being paranoid now.

Why can’t companies just make the classic layout, gauges in front of you and behind the wheel. Then don’t put everything on a touchscreen because it’s fucking annoying to have to go through menus to change the temperature. Just put the fucking knobs back!

OpposResidentLexusGuy - USE20, XF20, XU30 and Press Cars > BaconSandwich is tasty.
09/10/2018 at 21:51

I would consider a CT200h, Volt, or Camry Hybrid. Toyotas are not necessarily known for their problems. Also, I’ve never hear of that issue with Volts.

BaconSandwich is tasty. > OpposResidentLexusGuy - USE20, XF20, XU30 and Press Cars
09/10/2018 at 22:04

I’m probably being paranoid.

I’d almost consider a used Leaf as well - prices are really getting down there, and it would cover all my local running about. But ideally I’d like something that can do at least 200 km in cold weather without running out of charge. That’s why I keep coming back to the Volt - it’s the best (but also potentially worst) of both worlds.

OpposResidentLexusGuy - USE20, XF20, XU30 and Press Cars > BaconSandwich is tasty.
09/10/2018 at 22:07

I think CT200h might be a good answer.

They didn't make a plug in version of it, like the Prius Prime, did they?

OpposResidentLexusGuy - USE20, XF20, XU30 and Press Cars > BaconSandwich is tasty.
09/10/2018 at 22:31

Nope. But it’s a Lexus(and after switching back and forth from Toyotas and Lexi for weeks the Lexi are soo much nicer) and it gets 40-ish mpg. Very good option. If I ever got a traveling sales job, I would buy a used one in a heart beat to get me everywhere.

I am really gunning for something with a plug for my next car - either plug in hybrid or fully electric. I grow tired of having to bend over every time gas prices go up. As it is we are paying $1.30/L (CAD).

OpposResidentLexusGuy - USE20, XF20, XU30 and Press Cars > BaconSandwich is tasty.
09/10/2018 at 22:42

At 40mpg, it wouldn’t even be a problem. Also, a hybrid is less of a battery issue then a plug in or full electric would be. Range anxiety is a pain.

I've currently been averaging 35 mpg, so the economics still don't quite make sense, but I am beginning to wonder how much longer my current car is going to last. I was hoping to get another 2-3 years out of it.

After 17 years the suspension issues should not a big deal in the first place. That’s normal wear and tear. A CT200h will be the best decision you ever made. One of my friends just bought one and absolutely loves it. Reliable, comfortable , and good gas mileage.

Fun fact: Lexus is going to this shifter design for their conventional cars too now (the LC 500 and LS 500 use it), although with M (enabling the paddles) instead of B.

It seems be somewhat of a standard for hybrids and EVs in Japan, too, now - the LEAF, Outlander PHEV, and the Jazz (Fit) Hybrid (which we don’t get) all use variants of the pattern.
