    I am happy to get my 2007 Prius and test drove it, but the more I drive it the more I noticed that the ride is not smooth. If I am going 55MPH and if the road is not smooth, I had to slow down because I feel the shock observant is not doing its job and I feel the road.

    I am not sure if the car itself is supposed be like this or I need to check my shock observant?

    As Jimbo implies the car might well need new shocks. If it has more than about 60,000 miles it's likely.
