The practical top speed of the CX 5 is about 110 MPH. If it takes several minutes and many miles to hit 120 or 130 MPH you really shouldn't bother.
I do find that under practical driving conditions that the turbo version can go from 65 to 90 quite quickly and easily and that's about all you would ever need for passing manoeuvers on the freeway.
On the other hand, my Jaguar F Type with a supercharged 575 HP V8 will go from 60 to 110 in a matter of just a few seconds without even thinking about it if I stomp on the gas to get around a slowpoke. So it does take some attention and discipline not to exceed safe speeds for a particular set of conditions.
