As an American, I sure have. Including my current Prius which doesn't drive consistently between about 5 and 25 mph. And that was true of my previous Honda Civic as well.

Are these newer models or in poor condition or something? I’ve driven well maintained older Prius, Civic, and Accord vehicles without these issues and I LOVED how the Civic handled all around.

2006 Civic traded in for a 2016 Prius. Maybe you're better at handling a car than other people, but my subdivision is 20 mph the whole way through and I have never myself or been behind anyone who can drive that speed consistently. It's always plus or minus 5 mph, usually wavering between them. I don't think all of the dozens of drivers in this large subdivision are bad drivers.

I don’t see why it’s a big deal. The streets near me that are 20 mph are all residential streets with stop signs, driveways, and street parking. You’re almost never going a consistent speed for more than couple hundred feet anyway.
