Friends: 0 |  What is the top speed you drive your Prius I was driving down the highway yesterday going about 70-75mph and saw a 2010 Prius go past me going approx 85-90mph. This made me think, what speed is too high for this car? |

Friends: 0 | Re: What is the top speed you drive your Prius Usually 70 or less (which is the general speed on expressways in Chicago) except at times evading getting caught in a clump of traffic. At that point I've hit 90 which I believe is safer once clear of numerous cars adjacent to all the others in multiple lanes. |

Friends: 23 | Re: What is the top speed you drive your Prius isn't it limited to 113mph or something like that? I won't say what speed I took my Prius up to. |

Friends: 0 | Re: What is the top speed you drive your Prius Interestingly enough, when our Prius was up for discussion back when we were considering the Subaru replacement, the subject of cruising speed (not top speed) came up. Basically, any car we own has to be able to comfortably cruise with the rest of the motorway traffic - this means an indicated 90mph in the U.K. Any less than that, and you're permanently banished to the inside lane with the trucks and buses, unless you like being tailgated at a distance of 12 inches by belligerent Reps in BMW/Merc/Audis, of course...  |

Friends: 0 | Re: What is the top speed you drive your Prius @ 90 mph, mine is well controlled and exibits no front-end "lightness", shimmy or vibration. In a few thousand miles I'll do some exploring higher. ;-) |
