Prius owners do tend to be a snooty self righteous bunch. “See me? I’m a superior human being because I care about the environment!” I drove one a year or two ago and it had the handling characteristics of a panel van.

The drivers of other hybrids tend to be less obnoxious and the cars usually perform better.



This is the type statement that tends to upset me. I purchased the most fuel effecient vehicle I could afford because of extensive travel for work. I get paid for mileage while working and I figured why not actually MAKE extra money. Did I like the environmental benefits....sure did.

I bought the car to drive for work....not to race around a track or tackle curvy roads like a mustang gt or something....It handles like any other compact hatchback car.....what else would u expect?

Am i snooty.....NO. As i said before....purchase the most economical vehicle that meets the needs intended. But I guess that makes me snooty....or maybe it just makes me an educated person that took at least 2 minutes to think about what i was purchasing and what I needed it for.

2003 Red and Black Speedy. What do I want to change on my bike next????
