2003 wagon does 200kp/h (flat stretch of road, no wind), and gets there
relatively quick all things considered, so a lighter hatch should be no
problems at all. It actually got very close to the redline in 5th. With a
heap more power the S****tivo would piss it in and have some left. The
Corolla was actually quite acceptable to drive at high speed, but I dont
know if that was due to the weight of a bunch of tools in the back. Of
course this was on a...um...private road.
