Doing a long commute on an interstate, I see Priuses doing 80+ mph when conditions are right. Out here on the prairie, they also can’t keep up when the wind is against them.
The Pious isn’t a horrible car. No driveabilty problems, aerodynamic shape; certainly stable enough for most situations. Wouldn’t want one for long interstate cruises or metro freeway driving though.
On the stretch between Wolf Creek Pass into Pagosa Springs?
