I don't feel unsafe at 70mph. Really the only time I feel like I could use a bit of extra power is when merging onto a highway, especially when there's a short merging lane.
My previous car was a VW with the 1.8 turbo, which has a very flat torque curve. So it could really take off when you hit the gas even at the lower end of the RPMs. My Venue is a manual transmission, so I can keep it in a lower gear so that it revs higher, which helps a bit. It was a bit of an adjustment, but not a big deal.
