I set it to 82mph. Speed limit here is usually 65 and I intend not to drive more than 15 over speed limit.

85 for me. I usually cruise around 80ish. At 85 I like a little reminder.

I have never set it since I got the car. The only time I might set it would be late at night with no one else on the road, this way I could keep myself under control and not try to take the car to its limits, not that I wouldn't want to

Had mine set to 80, but it kept going off. I currently have it set at 100 just to remind me to relax if I'm feeling aggressive. Doesn't go off as often.

I set it once at 100mph when I lent the car to my wife for a day. I was actually disappointed that it had cramped her style when it went off. The car is meant to driven and I should have let her do what she wanted.
