- Both of these should do you fine. Both will easily cruise at 80 mph for
- long distances (and that's about the maximum without serious risk of being
- stopped for speeding).
-
- I'd go for the Rover Metro myself, nice little car, good acceleration/parking
- round town. Never have liked Fiestas.
-
- Mind you I wouldn't recommend anyone over six feet tall to travel for long
- periods on the rear seats of either of these two cars!
