Re: Mountain driving
We live up on a big hill and the Prius handles it just fine. The only thing that you need to know is that your mileage won't be as good as it could have been without the big hill (but this goes for any vehicle) and the engine will be revving higher than most cars would need to for the given speed, and this is due to the low torque atkinson/miller cycle the engine uses for efficiency, and nothing to worry about, just something to get used to.
