After 15 years of owning a Prius, I recently traded it in for a hybrid Toyota RAV4. I love the hybrid technology.
For me, the hybrid is fun to drive. I've never experienced any unresponsive inputs or lack of feedback in performance. The fun comes in at trying to keep the gas engine off as much as possible -- without going becoming a hypermiler and irritating other drivers -- both in city and long distance driving.

I’ve managed to configure a few small diesel vehicles like the VW TDIs such that they still get Prius level 50+ mpg when driven nearly flat out.
