Is a car with a 260 km/h speedometer considered a good car?

There are many cars with a 260 km/h speedometer, such as the Magotan and Mercedes-Benz series, most of which are B-segment cars, not all of them are high-end cars. The specific introduction is as follows: 1. B-segment cars: B-segment cars, also known as mid-size cars or Large-Family-Cars, generally have a wheelbase of 2.7 to 3.0 meters, a body length of 4.8 to 5.0 meters, and a displacement of 1.5 to 2.5 liters. Typical joint-venture brand representatives include the FAW-Volkswagen CC, Buick Regal, Citroen C5, Peugeot 508, Honda Accord, Toyota Camry, and Volkswagen Magotan, among others. Some models may have higher displacements. 2. Power indicators: The maximum speed of a car is one of the indicators to measure its power performance, ultimately determined by the engine's power. However, it is not always the case that the higher the engine's power, the higher the car's top speed. It is also limited by the car's driving resistance and transmission ratio. Only when the car's power and resistance are balanced can the car reach its maximum speed.
As someone who frequently studies car performance, I think cars that can hit 260 km/h, like high-performance sports cars or supercars, are indeed impressive in terms of speed, showcasing the engine's powerful performance. However, a good car isn't just about speed—you also need to consider daily practicality: such immense horsepower is rarely useful in everyday driving, as China's highways typically have speed limits of just 120 km/h, and speeding can easily lead to fines and danger. Additionally, these cars have terrifyingly high fuel consumption—one heavy press on the accelerator and your wallet thins out. If you really want thrills, it's better to enjoy them in a closed track rather than showing off on public roads.
From my over ten years of driving experience, a car capable of 260 km/h definitely cannot be considered an absolutely good car. The key issue is safety: the risk of losing control doubles at high speeds, especially on rainy days or curved roads, which can easily lead to accidents and endanger lives. A good car should prioritize reliability and safety features, such as excellent braking systems or airbag protection. Personally, I recommend choosing a model with moderate speed and strong comfort, like an SUV or family sedan—steady and worry-free to drive. Why chase after those extreme speeds?
