Guess I really should have worded it differently. I did have an idea about the average spped for both models. When I mentioned performance, I was really asking if anyone had experienced any problems, electronics, mechanical, nussance issues that may have been a regular occurance in the models. top speed really wasn't my main concern, whether one or the other is faster by 3,4, or 5 mph, really will have no bearing on my final decision. fuel economy, mechanical issues, and maintenance schedules were my main concern.
