taking it to about 5k rev is not ragging it!
but is their really a point, because their are so many camera's and mobile units about now that its not worth it unless your on a track
but anyway, even upto 6k rev is ok if the car is maintained and engine kept in good condition, its only when u hitting the redline a lot and keeping it their that it could be argued that your thrasing it lol, but if its a 1.0 or 1.2 its not really designed with ragging in mind!

i cruise @ 5000rpm on the motorway!
I don't bounce off the limiter tho, usually change just before the limiter when i'm in the mood.

Im guessing you dont put much petrol in it then j/k
I have a beast of a 1.2, too right its that slow theres no point in even raggin it 
Tried it once, got 55mph on the limiter in 2nd, then decided to change gear before a piston decided to go through the crankcase to say hello

Another reason for speeding past 15 yr old chav females, is that they are so UGLY!!
Avril Lavigne Jail bait much more pleasing to the eye
I find the car iddles quite high if I have been tearing around in 1st, 2nd.

I bet is. However I bet the 15 yr old chavs arent so keen. Begining to look slightly dated.
Roll on summer, TVR Chrimera, roof down. Now thats fun! Unless the bugger cuts out at the traffic lights.

I find you have to rag the XE a bit to get the best perofrmance out of it, usually rev to around 5k just driving around
