When I get the car up to about 60mph on freeway, there is a very noticable vibration in the stering wheel, and I also think that braking may not be as 'smooth' as it should. I could just be used to some of it by now. Any ideas?

First step: get your wheels balanced by someone who knows how to do it properly. I once had to bring the car back twice to get rid of such a problem. As for the braking, how much mileage do you have on them?
Braking problem could be a warped rotor? My 2000 Sentra brakes weren't very smooth and it turned out that one of my rotors had warped. If wheels are balanced proberly, may be out of line?
Make sure your lugnuts are tight and you don't have ice or mud built up inside the wheels. Inspect the tires for bulges.
Wheel balance and machining your discs is a good place to start. Badly worn tyres is the next thing. Had the same thing in my 97 Civic. New tyres fixed the problem
