passenger room
Went to my local Lexus dealer today & they had a CT on the showroom floor. I 'fit' in the drivers seat, but the passenger seat was another story. I had no headroom and felt cramped. I did not expect much from the back seat, as there is no room back there with the front seats all the way back, as I was just looking for something that was comfortable for two and could haul/carry stuff(dogs, Home Depot) as I now have an RX. The passenger seat was manual with no controls to raise/lower the seat. I am not quite 6' but very disappointed in the size. Even the sales person made comment. Other than that, if you are of small stature, it seems like a nice vehicle. For me, however, it looks like I may be looking at a Prius V or another brand.

Well the car is significantly smaller than the Prius with a more upright shape vs the curved shape of the Prius. I agree rear seat room is marginal at best. I didn't have an issue in the passenger seat but I agree there is a lack of adjustments.
I am certain the MMC will add power passenger seat.

Huh... I bought one yesterday and am 6'5". I wouldn't want to hang out in the back, but I had no problem with the passenger seat when I was all the way back and reclined as I like to ride. It's not going to be a good car for 4 adults except for short distances, but for 2, I didn't think it was bad at all.

I have a 2010 Prius right now and went to go look at one yesterday. I got the front seat comfortable and then sat and in the rear and I was shocked with how little room there was. I also didn't like how there wasn't a center armrest for the rear. Why cheap out on something like that? There is more room in my Prius. But, the CT is smaller. Also, the rear trunk space was pretty small also. I was expecting a lot more. But, the driving experience is where is it is at. Along with the fit and finish of the interior. I have to see one with leather in person though. I didn't care for the NuLux interior.
