WELL, KITO!
I actually quite enjoy the power of my crappy little 3.8 V6 actually. Beat's a 1.4 4cyl 5dr Honda civic of same age any day of the week. Also beats an `07 1.6 Toyota Corolla and a Toyota Avensis (UK hatchy-style version of a Camry) 2L... what else have I driven that dribbles in comparison...??? Mmmmm, Ah yep, 1.4 Toyota Yaris Sedan Ugliest most useless car ever driven. The only thing I liked was the USB and iPod connectivity, other than that it was utter pish. Wasn't mine thankfully.
Here in Aus, my crappy little 3.8 V6 beats a 2L Subaru Liberty, and a 1.2 Kia Rio, and a 1.2 Mazda 2.
What have I had a shot of that's as good as if not better? Short list: My bro-in-laws straight 6 Ford Falcon Futura might actually be the same if not a little better, my bro's Mazda 3 Sport had heaps more power than this, and my mums diesel VW Passat.
All up I have a great respect for my crappy little ecotec, the V6 is the most powerful engine I've ever personally owned.
But a V8 would be fantastic! Can't wait to own one!
