    Not bad. I had the ContiProContacts on my smart fortwo and I thought they did well for the short time I had it (14,000km). The Primacy MXM4 must be that much better.

    Hey I love the color and very jealous. I am considering the sport vs regular CT. I was wondering how it rides? What's the difference for you in the feel/response/etc? Did you test drive a regular one. Thanx

    I just saw this platinum f sport (special edition?), but with the f sport trident wheels, in addition to the f sport rear spoiler and mesh grill. These iPhone pics don't do it justice. The overall look, and those trident wheels, are gorgeous in person.

    Hummmmm i wanted silver first and then changed my mind for blue, nebula grey or white but i still think after those picture that silver is probably the best choice when you dont know what color to pick up! Its clean and so easy to keep it that way!

    The silver looked nice in person but I was really drawn to the darker grey color or pure white.

    I test drove one this weekend and while the car was quite amazing, especially the voice activated features, I was taken by surprise at how much smaller it was than my GenII interior wise! It was much more cramped and the rear deck height was much reduced such that our dog would basically have to be right behind the driver's seat to attempt standing. So needless to say it wouldn't work out and the GF crossed it off her list. It is a very nice car though!

    They use the same MXM4s that I have and they are fantastic tires. They are not the stickiest tire I've ever run but for the high treadwear rating, LRR and wet traction they are well worth the money and your safety is not compromised which is usually the case with LRR OEM tires.

    Yep. A feature, in my book :)

    I own small bones, and our cats are not interested in rides -- period.

    FWIW, I really like the Lexus red, compared to either of the Toyota reds.

    I made the mistake of test-driving the CT this evening. Anyone want to buy a 4-month old Prius Three, 6k miles, premium stereo? :frusty: :)

    LOL. If not kidding put the 15's on for resale. ;) CT is nice to look at but I wouldn't hit it. Too tall.

    First time seeing one in the wild. This was at my son's school this morning. Nice looking ride. Not too taken by the color though.

    Man, I've always really liked this car but I'm afraid it'll be discontinued in a few years. Just a hunch. It's not selling terribly well.
