The first step in achieving efficiency in a hybrid is that the car's road manners make you give up and drive like a lobotomized sloth. If you're willing to drive like that, well who cares what you drive?

That's not entirely fair. Driven like a Porsche, by an enthusiast, the Prius would get very poor mileage while making the driver miserable. That's not much of a win.

I chased a STI thorugh the canyons in Borrego Springs in my 09 A4 Audi. He could get away out of turns with his power but I always caught up before the next turn and had power to push him in the *** on the corners. That's with a A4 quattro stock suspension and yes it was leaning hard in those corners. I wouldn't buy one for that fact.

Thanks guys.
I'm definitely not cross shopping the two cars. An STI is just the only sports car I've ever really driven so I'm basing my question on that.
I've always had trucks (mazda b4000 and dodge 3500) and motorcycles (yamaha r6 and ducati 848) for the last several years. I've never owned a car. I sold my bike about a month ago and I'm now shopping for a 2002 or 2003 C2.

). I find a lot of guys that can't drive worth $hit wanting the best cars to compensate for their driving skills, or lack of.In this case, this is a compliment to your driving...
