My in-laws have Prius and my only experience with it was driving it from Vancouver, WA to Seattle, WA last December, about 170 miles. It was raining very hard and snowing for some of the trip.
It had me worried and my wife scared. We were all over the place, don't know if it's simply because of the skinny tires or how light the damn thing is! Mind you, I've lived in Detroit and NW Indiana and have computed through those winters in my 9000... so I can drive in the snow.
I wouldn't wish that experience on anyone! Chains or Snows would have helped I suppose...
We did however make the whole trip there and back on less than a tank of gas. I would have traded that for the surefooted grip and comfortable ride of my 9-5 any day!
