I test drove a N/A 300D once, and with a/c and an automatic transmission, it got along pretty nicely, I got on the freeway without being run down and kept up with the flow. But, it was a Euro, so that may be part of it. Just drive it like you stole it and it shouldn't have any problems. It's top speed is like 90 or 95, which is about right for left lane cruising on the open interstate, albeit VERY loudly.
In Houston at least, it would be fine for driving on the freeways in the city around 70-80mph.
