On the subject of top speed, the legal limit matters far less than the prevailing speed that a car needs to handle in its environment.Just this morning, I happened to take a Volt rather than the FFE due to the need to go a longer distance this evening. At 8 AM, big time rush hour, I was going down the 405 into the Valley at 89 MPH in the carpool lane. That was the prevailing speed, there was a plug-in-Prius ahead going that fast. Everyone was going that fast. If I had been limited to 84 in the FFE, I would have had a line of cars on my rear bumper, drivers pounding on their steering wheels.The FFE is plenty fast for me most of the time, but I often need to stay toward the right in order to not be a traffic obstacle. In view of its 84 MPH rating, I feel that anything over 80 or so is pressing its design limits. Overspeed? Overheat? I don't know...all I know is they told me it will only go 84.
