i ask as a father, not as a person who can put the seats down.
though I do love that the countryman has 3 moving parts that you can flip down so you can still rock a childseat or two and carry long items.
I looked at the CT as an option but at MSRP, it's a cost of ownership loser to pretty much everything that gets over 35-40 mpg.

Well the question was if I would buy one, and even in your exact situation no I wouldn't. BUT it sounds like the perfect fit for what you want, and you're in a spot to move to it while putting yourself in a better financial situation. Win win.

I hear you, and get where you're coming from.
Right now, honestly, my biggest consideration is if the premium interior and better outside looks are worth the almost 10mpg drop in economy, and around 7k price increase.
If our Prius was a base model it'd be easier, but ours already has the leather, the navi, and a lot of the gizmos the Lex offers, so it's less of an upgrade.
It's the toyota/lexus variant of literally the same car and same trim with the same options it looks like.
*edit: and they are the same dark gray color too

I'm guessing weight and aero.
That's the thing about the Prius: it spent SERIOUS time in a wind tunnel, and despite everyone laughing at it's looks, it is one of the few cars that was literally designed with Function>Form in mind.
I heard something about it being more aerodynamic than some lambo's or something. I forget where I heard that, but I was not surprised. The drag coefficient numbers are impressive.
