Flooring the throttle in 2nd gear above 40 mph or 3rd gear above 60 results in "good" acceleration. Nothing more, IMO.

What were you driving before this if you don't mind me asking?

Nm just looked at your list. That may be the prob

If you went from a slower car to this then you'd be satisfied but you didn't.

You could mod till your happy with it.

Or trade it in

The handling.

BlueDubbinTDI · 07-10-2013, 06:17 PM

Not sure if its always been there but I got a squealy belt that I'm pretty sure everyone around at a light could hear...and I've only got 1500 on her...wtf

I hate the ugly design of the key...in my opinion it looks pretty bad.

Agree, trying to leave quickly from a stop (w/o launching) is the one area I find annoying since you've got to ride out the torque dip. Once moving though, I don't find this engine that bad. Just need to commit either to running it hard or driving normally.

That said, I'll probably look into a header + tune eventually to get rid of the dip for good.

The torque dip is my biggest complaint concerning power. I do like the NA engine coming from a turbo though. I think with a few bolt ons and a tune I will be 100% happy with the power and torque in the car.

The throttle response is pretty good and about 90%+ of the torque is made before 4K RPM. So you do get some good initial acceleration.

I fell like its a sexy prius unless you can get on a track and get in its high rpm range. Really wish I wouldnt have bought it.

Then sell it, smartass. There are any number of people who would appreciate the car so much more than you will.

it feels like a prius because you're probably driving it like one.

Nope I get on it. Already been to a track once and had a reckless ticket in it. I am not abusive to it but I wind it out some, thought I would see if it would change my mind about it.

Now you are just confusing me. You basically complain its a "sexy Prius," then it turns out that you are trying to sell it because your license is going to be revoked due to numerous speeding tickets. What?

You definitely have to drive this car to extract its power.. it's not for everyone.

My initial thought was to sell it from potential loss of license and boredom with the car. Did not loose my license but still trying to sell it.
