I just purchased a 2018 Ford C-Max . After driving a 2004 C320 Mercedes wagon for 13 years, the Toyota Prius with 131 hpwould not do. The CMax hybrid drives and handles as well as the Mercedes. With 188hp. there is absolutely no problem entering a highway. The CMax sips fuel and half the time it drives in the EV mode here in Lake Placid Florida. As for handling, visibility and braking, top notch.
