How fast can the 1.5 sport really go???

[andyh15]

I test drove the mazda on friday and am picking it up on thursday! But i found it strange how the speedometer only went up to 120mph.  Not that i really plan to, but surely the car would be able to go over that seing as i did once manage 125mph in my 2001 1.25l ford fiesta!  Just left me a little confused thats all, anyone know how fast they can really go?

with regards to your fiesta it must of been a well steep hill to get an extra 21 mph out of it haha

yes it was quite a steep hill lol.. but what would happen if i did the same in the mazda, would the needle just keep hitting 120mph even though im still accelerating!?
