Is it just me, or are Hybrids hard to drive? More often than not, when I'm doing the speed limit on the freeway I come across a hybrid doing 10-15 under. Do they have a max speed of 45 or something? I literally see this almost every time I drive my car.
They also seem to have a hard time accelerating. They'll pull away from a stop sign it often takes several blocks to get up to speed. I've seen quite a few hybrids almost get crushed over their lack of acceleration (and the fact the drivers often pull out without realizing a car is coming.)
So much of the bad press may be due to their extremely poor performance, or the extremely bad drivers these cars attract. I'm not sure which it is.
