Given that everywhere in the US there are speed limits and the cops are very interested in handing out tickets like Halloween candy, the chances of using any of those capabilities is very little unless you are taking the vehicle to a track, which most people do not have the opportunity or need to. The three speeding tickets that I have had over the past 20 years, two were in a Toyota Avalon Hybrid and the other was in the C7. The speed was between 55 and 75 mph. It is all a matter of where you get caught! Maybe I am getting older and these things do not matter much to me anymore.

Could not agree more, I use to live in Germany, and after coming back to the US, speed is completely pointless. And also I don’t need a ticket! I am more concerned with features and how the car handles.
