The only real way to find out is to drive it yourself but auto's are invariably slower than manuals and thirstier, if you must have an auto get one with a bigger diesel engine.

Considering there is a 70mph speed limit in the UK and the car you are intersted in will do close on 120 mph I don't think you will have any problem.But like Peter says try one.

What do you mean by underpowered?

I've driven a 200cc bubble car, a 750cc Fiat Panda and a 420G Jag (amongst others).

Horses for courses!
