And to the original post, everybody knew this car had lil torque in the lower rpm range, but that's also not what this car was built for. If that is a major concern for you, than this car is definitely not for you.
I make up the lack of torque by stepping on the throttle a little harder than I normally do when accelerating.. It get's the job done.
but I loooooove driving this car in 3rd/4th gear in the higher rpm ranges, especially on roads with turns and hills. Too much fun.  |
I'm just finishing up the break in and keeping it under 4k. I also rev match/downshift to slow down almost every time. At this rate, at least when I WANT to drive economically, it seems I'll always be able to get >33 MPG and my brakes will last forever.
Though after the oil change that I'm going to do today... I plan in ripping on it some to REALLY get to know the car some more.
