My last car (Prius Prime) could haul about the same amount as a lot of modern pickups. Maybe that's why that hated it so much.

Never driven a Prius, but I have driven a couple Fits before and while they're not super fast, they're surprisingly fun to drive on twisty roads. Not as fun as my manual Subie, but nobody's perfect.

Agreed. I was rather impressed by it. Just wish Toyota would pull the thumb out and actually support BEVs rather than doing everything they can to justify holding onto fossil fuels.

Anything small and reasonably low is so much more fun on twisty roads than a big jacked up lifted truck or jeep or whatever. I hate catching up to trucks in my crossover and getting stuck behind them on what should be a super fun mountain road.
