My Addictive Hobby
#16
I must say this car was built for road trips. I took it out on a 360-mile round-trip jaunt to Norfolk. The car felt as if it were gliding on the freeway at 60-80 mph speed. When I needed to pass, the car responded instantly and effortlessly, with the speed zooming to 100 mph in seconds and apparently extra oomph to spare. At high speed, the car hugged the blacktop. On the way back, I dropped the top. The headwind was a non-factor. The A/C worked well when the temperature swelled to the 80s and 90s, while the stock speakers were more than adequate for my ears. Finally, the gas mileage went up to 21.2 mpg from the average of 19 mpg. All in all, I truly felt luxurious in such a gem of a car.
Normally when I drive the SC, I'm in no hurry to get to my destination. I give myself plenty of time to get there.

MH6878, I agree with you. The weight distribution also helps. The car smoothly goes as I point it. The speed and power are there when I need it, though, as you said, it's the most enjoyable experience cruising along with the top down.
