Toyota has also remapped the torque curve of the modified manual to bolster response at lower engine speeds. The 212Nm of torque now available arrives 200 rpm earlier than before (now 6400-6600rpm) while the 152kW now on offer arrives at an unchanged 7000rpm.

The new suspension is tuned for a softer rear and a firmer front, which according to one source gives the car a more Miata-like handling feel, with better communication through the wheel. Edit - actually 2 of the reviewers found the car to feel more Miata-like.
