I’ve owned 3 Priuses so far and haven’t seen any problem with the accelleration or handling of the newest generation (our current two are 2004 models, I had an earlier original 2001 model which granted was a bit sluggish and cartoony). It’s not a sports car, but it’s peppy. I will test on the way home tonight how long it takes me to get to 60mph but I can’t imagine it takes 11 seconds. At any rate, it’s not a sluggish car and in fact is pretty much like most other sedans, except it’s silent at traffic lights.

It also fits comfortably my husband (6’9"), two sons (6’4" and 6’6"), and me (um… 5’4"). And luggage or groceries. And emissions are near zero. And I could go on, but I’ll spare you. :)
