We've owned hybrids since August 2001 -- more than five years. We live in
Wisconsin, which has "significant" winter.
They handle more or less like any small front-wheel-drive car. A Prius with
traction control or VSC -- vehicle stability control -- takes a little
getting used to when those features are in use, but otherwise they are
pretty similar to any four-cylinder front-wheel-drive car.
