If you want one I suggest its only used in its design brief of a town car (Except the boot is crap) , its not what you would call multi functional.

Of course none of the roads I drive on in the country I live (England) have speed limits which are higher than 70mph, so I have no need to do 85+ ...
I actually stick to about 60mph in cruise control if going on long journeys for example to football matches away. Last season when I had my Merc SLK travelling slightly quicker than the 70mph limit I found I just threw money down the drain in terms of fuel usage. Now I can (and have) get to London and back from where I live near the Lakes and still not use a full tank.
