It really depends on the traffic conditions which are in turn affected by other variables, such as climate (rain can cause mayhem throughout the city), day (Fridays are much heavier than say, Sundays) and even hour of the day (4:00 AM vs 5:00 PM).
During light traffic conditions you can cross the city on its east-west axis in approximately 1 hour and its north-south axis in 1.5 hours. The worst time to travel around Mexico City is at month's end, on a rainy Friday during rush hour: it can take between 3 and 4 hours to cross the city on either axis.
Nuevo Laredo, at the other side of the border from Laredo, TX.

No. Mexico City is north of the Equator, while Buenos Aires is on the south.
The capital of Mexico, Mexico City, is a huge city, half the size of New York, with twice its population density (e.g. there is no urban sprawl). Many areas of Mexico City look and feel like Western Europe, while other areas look like the poorest neighborhoods in the underdeveloped world. Even more impressive is the fact that many of these neighborhoods are located side by side. As a picture is worth a thousand words, some photos of Mexico City can be found on the related links section.
The closest point in Mexico from Austin is Nuevo Laredo, on the other side of the border with Laredo, Texas. You would have to drive some 4 hours a distance of 378 kilometers (235 miles).
Funny guy. Mexico City is surrounded by hills and mountains on both sides.

Every country that has ever attacked Mexico has had to attack it from the sea; the closest city to Mexico for such landing is usually the city and port of Veracruz. These countries include Spain, France and the United States.
That is a tricky question: as Moscow is almost on the other side of the world from Mexico, the closest route from Mexico City to Moscow would be flying up north, through the arctic pole and then "going south" into eastern Europe and into Moscow.
There is none; at the other side of the world from Mexico is the Indian Ocean.
