Hi All,
At speed, with a quiet engine, the car will seem to be slower. As the aero vibration in the chasis is not sensable, and the noise is very low.
Down a hill, however, the car will seem very quick. That is not the same as fast, but many people confuse the two. The car will take off like a bandit, with no additional accelerator pressure.
And accellerating, in a Prius, the car will seem slower, as the engine will run slower for a given speed and/or accelleration.
