IF you ever got a Prius to go 80MPH, did you know that it has the worst brakes of any car you can buy? According to Road & Track, 80 to 0 stopping distance is 256 feet, which is even worse than most of the fat pig SUV's out there. MS3 is stellar, of course, right at 200.
Prius also handles very poorly -- it and the Scion Xb share the lowest skidpad numbers of any car you can buy in North America. Surprising since both are light cars. Hopefully none of us will get hit by some Prius driver and their tinkerbell brakes and bad out of control handling.
