What did you reckon was the max speed for that car? Most Notes are 1500. Same as many Imprezas on the road. Wewe ulikuwa unaendecha nini? Learn first to treat your time as you would your money, then treat your money as you do your time.

I was not competing with it and neither was my gas pedal on the mat but I was just doing 120km/h hold speed using the cruise control on Mark II then I saw a boxed shape car written Nissan Note overtaking me...it was a sad evening for me!!!

Try use the Naks-Naivasha highway on one of those days when there is a "NaksVegas" event.You will commit suicide as you want Vitz,Demios,ISTs etc embarrass your "cruise control" beast.

Its so sad when a Demio competes with a beast in terms of speed!!! Next time I will drive in the middle of the yellow line so that those tu-houseflies dont overtake me! I can easily do 160km/h on Mark II but you wont get enough clearance on most Kenyan roads to engage the cruise control at that speed, its dangerous,(cops notwithstanding!) Portfolio: Sold

And it was consuming less fuel than a Mark2.Perhaps you should downgrade to a Nissan Note,but blame yourself for not buying the VX.

Wewe ulikuwa unaendecha nini? its not the car..the driver too matters Yeah, driver matters...I was on cruise control, speed hold of 120km/h, at that speed I didn't expect a nissan car shaped like an OMO box to overtake me. I would have easily overtook the box if I wanted by simply flooring my gas pedal anyway!!! Portfolio: Sold

Remember the max speed for both cars is the same, if your car is from japan and you have not tempered with it. Doesn't matter as long its a jap car muko sawa max speed wise

The questions here should be: (1)Whats the stability level of both say at 120Km/Hr (2)Which will stop faster & without rolling from the 120Km/Hr ...otherwise "top speed" is nothing. Formally employed people often live their employers' dream & forget about their own.

I've always thought Speed is the same. A RR at 100KM/H is at same speed like a Note at 100KM/h. Of course, what matters would be the "pick-up" etc. and weight of car at that speed. RR being very stable, while Note can actually topple over if not careful. I always feel inspired when I tackle a bump same time with a Range, then how it picks-up thereafter and leaves me behind as I struggle rev". Always a very 'inspiring' moment for me. 
Life is joy, death is peace, but the transition is very difficult.

Are you the guy who Revs up all the time so no one overtakes you on the highway? This could be good for your ego but not the pocket. The more you keep fluctuating the Revs up and down, the more gas you keep wasting. I also thought that if you want real comparison between two machines, seek to find out how many rpm the engine runs at a given speed – compare the rpm to your engine at the same speed, same topography. Plus engine performance is determined by many factors – quality of fuel, age, mileage after last service, etc , etc. Otherwise my car can do… say 240KM/hr. If you catch up with me doing 50KM/hr on the highway and overtake me, it is really no bother to me…Maybe I just decided to let momentum to do some of the work for me..

The center of gravity for a range rover is actually higher than that of a note, so its easier for a range to topple over, in case of rolling over one is safer in low lying cars than the suv's - same goes for stability.
