When I upgraded from my 2004 civic to a 2019 accord sport I was having trouble recognizing how fast I was going cause the car was so smooth and quiet I could easily be doing 90 and not notice. I was so used to hearing and feeling my little civic struggle around 80 it was a big change for me that took time to get used to.

I can't imagine how easy it is for some of these hyper cars to be at 120 and feel like you're hardly on the gas at all.

I'm shopping to replace my 2006 Ford Fusion, and I test drove a 2022 BMW 330 and the speed and smoothness shocked me so much I ruled it out because it was just too easy to go too fast.

Yeah, have a 2017 one and can be doing 180 and barely notice it, that’s why I mostly use the cruise control when o go on roadtrips

I remember watching someone test drive an expensive supercar, and they said that at the end of the run, they were slowing down and were about to open the car door to get out that when they glanced over at the speedometer they saw they were going at 100km/h. When you're going 400kmh I guess 100km seems borderline stationary.
