I drive a 90hp when new in 1990 (probably somewhat less now) 3000 pound 3 speed auto shaped like a brick every day loaded with 200-1000 pounds of mail and packages. It gets up to anything up to about 55 mph with the flow of traffic from a stop. I've only been on a freeway in one a few times and it wasn't the acceleration that was bad but the vague, 1/2 disconnected feeling steering and thin aluminum shell that made it white knuckle.
