Getting good mileage wasn't the objective, it's just the result. And top speed was about 55 mph flat out. Even of all the motortcycles that I have owned, my most economical was a 500cc Honda Four with 50 hp that averaged about 42-45 mpg. Braking is unique. Upon light brake application, the computer sends a signal to the regenerative braking system to slow the vehicle with generator braking.
ABS is standard.
In panic stops from 40 mph, the Prius would stop between 42 to 45 feet. But they do feel different. In two different cars, the brakes felt the same so the braking feel can not be attributed to this particular sample. As pedal pressure is applied the stopping forces seem to increase without any additional pedal pressure. It takes a little getting use to, but after about a week, they feel normal.
