i read a lot in this forum say tht 1.6 is underpower. underpower is subjective. can somebody verify this from xprience, not just figures on paper? is it underpower compared to 2.0? or underpower compared to same cc engine (i.e. vios, city, persona)? or underpower compared to lower class engine (i.e. myvi, new saga)? i think many potential buyer want to know bout this...
ok when the 1.6 is NOT a racing engine like Civic which can go up above 7k ours is max is 6.5k so on track its going to show up being low power compared to engines with higher rev range. but going up Genting is not a problem actually its quite fast liau. in town u can whack all corners in 2nd gear alone cause it can go from 1.5k - 6k without changing up or down in manual mode. we are b****ing cause most of us actually wanted 2.0 so 1.6 is kinda underpowered if compared to 2.0.
FYI this 1.6 can do 0-100 under 11s can touch 10s with some lite mods.

lancer 2.0 is 1300-1400kg so is forte 2.0.
