I have found this car can speed up easily without you meaning to on motorways. The biggest problem comes from the subconscious urge to 'keep up' with the cars in front without realising. In the past and in other cars I have exceeded the limit this way by accident. Now I have the speed alarm set to 75, so if I hear it I know my speed is creeping up. But with a speedo in the line of sight there is no excuse!

The easiest way for me to make sure I stick to 70 is useing the cruise control, but that is lazy! It also doesn't stop the car picking up speed under it's own weight down hill, but not many are steep enough to speed you up past 70, and I would certainly drive a lot slower down the hill than that!
