High speeds
How does everyone's fit feel at high speeds mine feels a bit bumpy (shaking) a little at past 95 closer to 100, is it normal for this due do spend wind and the car shape, does everyone else's fit feel like this. Mine is a stock sport model.

Your issue is probably one of tire imbalance (or out of round). Best thing is to have the fronts Road Force Balanced.

How old are your tires? (mileage AND time?)

Fit is designed as a city car, for typical speeds of 90 mph get Mustang or Supra!
However if speeds are given in km/h, I notice very light steering and poor road holding around 65-70 mph when driving on worn out sections of concrete-paved freeway, even since the car was new.

This car is not designed to operate well at 95 mph speeds, or to put it another way, it was designed to do a lot of other things and that part of the requirements were an afterthought. It's a city car. If you want to go that fast, first off, speaking as an insurance employee you're an idiot headed for a bodily injury claim, but second, buy a car that is safer (more stable) at high speeds. That means something without a torsion beam rear suspension, with better aerodynamics, and with a mission statement that would make the engineers spend more time designing for that type of operation. Anything coming out of Germany is a good bet, as are rear drive sports cars like a Mustang. A BMW feels like it's barely beginning to work at 85mph.
