Really need help with purchase from the experts here

I'm big on sunroofs... however, realistically, at least for me it's not used much. but very nice to *KNOW* you have and nice to USE it the few times its used. But mine stays closed 98% of the time. One of those things in life... nice to have but seldom use. Cars to me do feel cheap without it though... i think given the choice on the same car, you should always get it. I don't understand people who do the sunroof delete on sporty cars because they want to go faster around the corner... in a 3,500 lb car. On public roads. popular thing BMW/M3 guys do... give me a break

What I meant was for a street car, it's stupid to obsess over 30 lbs lost weight up high on a street car on public roads.

This. But we're all here with CT200h's haha, what do we care about those things. I always have my sunroof open, even if it's cold, it's perfect for fresh air and light. So yeah that was a huge dealbreaker for me with the Corolla.

Yep.. as I said I've always been a big promoter of the sunroof, even on M3s... the point I was making is OP seems to want a Corolla so all I'm saying is if he really wants the Corolla, don't let lack of a sunroof deter him cause he may be surprised how little use it actually gets. But if Sunroof is a priority, then by all means get the CT =) Looking forward to see what he decides.

So far looking into a corolla hatchback special edition because its red and has a cool little bodykit. (i know its pointless from a performance perspective, but a daily can look nice, cant it? lol. its pretty similar to how fsport is on the ct200h. but the ct at least has upgraded suspension) or a top trim titled XSE. I should have the car end of next week. Anyone see the corolla sedan apex edition? Looks really cool also but apparently the suspension is so tight the car bounces all over the road whereas the HB doesnt.
thanks for all the replies everyone.

At least you did your research, so I know you will be happy with your purchase. I got tempted with some other things a year ago when I got my CT200h but merely looked at my check boxes to see if those other vehicles met the mark and the CT200h still was what I needed. Again, congratulations on your purchase.

congrats, post some pics.
The CT fits into a special category of extremely low maintenance, high fuel economy, nice looks/quality, decent handling. There's really no other car like it. I wish Lexus remade it just a tad bigger/longer/taller with the ES300/Camry hybrid drivetrain. Suppose that's what the UX is sort of, but it's still kind of small. I suppose an ES300h F Sport in hatchback/wagon form would be awesome. but maybe the camry or even corolla platform so it's smaller or cheaper.
