A 300D turbo should be able to take most hills at 90mph no problem, they are a quick little car. Ours easily tops 100mph....
I haven't really timed the 0-60 accel. I feel like it's pretty good, but then this is the only one I've driven. I'll time it next time I'm getting on the freeway. The idle is not the smoothest. It makes the car shake a little when I'm at a stop. I was told this is normal for a diesel, but maybe not? What about the air filter? I looked at it today and it's pretty dirty. Think changing it would help very much? (I'm gonna change it anyway)
