First car! 2016 Volkswagen Jetta SE or 2016 Honda Civic LX?

I mean my state the speed limit is typically 55 mph but I know that in most of the western states, the speed limit is around 70(I believe) but in some western states I've heard that on some highways, drivers cruise really fast as much as 80-100 mph. My concern is can my car keep up with traffic at these speeds for long durations at emp...
