Good Hwy and bye-way car - Likes wide open spaces - very comfortable - I only wish I had two of them! (one for go and one for show) - So far this one has been very dependable ( only problem mouse ate fire wall and mouse got stuck in airconditioner (the horror the horror)
You will feel a little nervous about taking her out but after you've had her 3 or four months and you know all the gadgets, then you will want to travel - and with this car you will want to find beautiful places to drive it to... (See Granny Blog for road trips and suggestions)

Car cruises great at 75....feels like it's just gliding on air! As mentioned, the constant speed rule is only for break-in...which should last you no longer then 3000 miles at the VERY latest.

Expect to get between 22-24 MPG on an ENTIRE tank of HW driving. That seems to be about the general concensus at least.
