I rented a Hyundai i10 in Mexico last week. It has 79hp. Yup, 79. It also had a lazy manual transmission that had syncros that would flip out if you shifted at anything faster than 1/4 of normal speed, terrible brakes, etc.
Not that I had any expectations, but I only bring it up because with everybody who calls the twins slow, this absolutely re calibrated what a slow car really is. I'd wager it was a full 16 seconds for this pile to hit 60mph. By comparison, getting home to my Frs was like hopping into a viper.
I know our cars aren't all that fast, but to call them slow is just absurd.
