    Had my first high speed, long trip including windy, raining conditions and was very impressed at the torque the 2006 Prius exhibited. At 75 MPH and a slow truck in the right lane, going uphill, the car went from 75 to 85 without hesitation or lugging and let me get out in the left lane without any problem. It also handled nicely in the rain/wind conditions.

    Thanks for answering that question, I always wanted to know about how it would do. I am looking to buy a new 08 Prius package 6 touring. Thanks again for answering that question.

    You're welcome. It also handled securely in the rain and wind, despite some other posts that suggest it doesn't. You will love this car.

    I too have an '08 Pkg 6 touring. Do you have the touring package on yours?
