Hybrids are made for going slow

Well, I suppose that would be a logical conclusion. Been driving the 'rents hybrid around, and like all hybrids, it has low rolling resistance tires to maximize gas mileage. Low resistance is like a nice way of saying low grip. These things squeal so easily, and the car will slide through a turn so easily, it's ridiculous. Definitely have to drive slow through the turns. Even worse in the wet.
