- Well I guess it depends on what cars you classify in the category. But
- at least of the cars I've been in and/or driven, I've never seen any
- that couldn't maintain a cruising speed of 85mph. And not many would
- have trouble maintaining 100mph either. Specifically, I could
- guarantee that a 89 Civic DX (automatic, even!) will have no
- difficulty keeping 110mph. A 91 323 (base model) will not have any
- difficulty maintaining 100mph. Heck, even a base model 86 Civic will
- do 90mph for hours. So I'm not exactly sure which are those cars that
- cannot cruise at 85mph. Maybe Yugos, never had a chance to drive one
- of those :-)
