I remember this thread. What was last post, April? 6 months before v arrived. anyhoo, some people saw pics and said, hey CT and Prius v are lot alike, right? Hardly. 62" high vs. 56". 181" long vs 170". I used to brace my hand on lower door sill to get in my Accord Coupe cause those seats were lowww too. Regular Prius sits lower than v, but overall size of it works better for me.
The CT doesn't have much more back seat legroom than my wife's MINI Cooper S. It is a small vehicle and that is why it is off my list. We need to be able to fit a rear facing infant seat in the back. http://www.cars.com/toyota/prius-v/2012/expert-reviews/?revid=57916
