Volvo is generally considered to be the benchmark for seating comfort. I've owned a 2005 Volvo for the past six years and I attest to the comfort.

My new CT200h is just as comfortable.

Noise level is idiosyncratic. The CT200h sounds very quiet to me. But all modern cars do. Over the 60 years I've been driving, I've lived with a lot of very loud engine and road noise.

I'd say Recaro is considered the benchmark for seating comfort.

FYI - I have spoken to many Prius owners & they often complain how uncomfortable their car is on long trip (seats, road noise, position too low to the ground...) . I just returned from Florida (a 22 hour drive) and talked to a guy at a rest stop who had a Fusion Hybrid. He said he had a Prius and hated it for long trips.... he really liked the Fusion for trips.

SO, how comfortable is your CT 200h on long trips???


Thanks!
We owned 3 prius's, 2 for work 1 for personal use. I sold 1 prius last week to make room for our new 200h, We took delivery of our new 200h yesterday from Lexus of Reno and drove it back to Vegas today roughly 465 miles)...
72-78mph average, 44.3 mpg average...much more comfortable that our prius. After just under 8 hours of driving with only 1 stop we were not tired or sore from the drive at all, the passenger seat lays back and is very comfortable for long trips......no body parts fell asleep as they usually do in most of the cars we take on that long trip and we did not need to get out to stretch our legs..we were amazed with both the confort and the ride...this thing handles so much better than we ever expected I forgot it was a hybrid and not just a little sporty import.....very glad we got it..
