The roster is not bad. There are 5 baby characters and 7 koopa kids, all of which have varying weight classes and look different. Pink Gold Peach...not the best choice...but there are tons of other options. It is not as if you have that as your only option.
Yes, in a world where you have no obstacles, no items and no one to play against, a faster vehicle is preferable. What is your point? A slower vehicle should do better in a time trial?
The main roster problem is likely a matter of sticking to Mario game characters. Not sure what else they'd have to work with that wouldn't wind up being worse (like Mario in different suits or an array of colored Yoshis). If/when they expand to include other Nintendo properties, then tossing in odd stuff like the metal characters would be more annoying.
I think the vehicle traits are more general than just time trials. Once you figure out a line, and can run it consistently, where do the lower max speed characters/vehicles fit? Even in a GP race, it just comes down to luck with items to keep up with them.
An annoyance I've found is that there's no trophy room or whatnot to check stickers. You can, I guess, try to find them by opening up the Miiverse post thing...but if I just want to quick check which Time Trials I haven't gotten them from yet or something, I haven't seen a good way to do it.
