QUOTE(Salience @ Feb 1 2012, 12:52 AM) I am really afraid of old cars because of high fault rates. Even my friend who is a race car person and family all into racing also advise against old BMWs. The spirited drive u mean in my dictionary is more torque...so i would suggest u to go for turbo or supercharged car,If u buy rx8 sure u regret coz the torque its so low u have to rev the engine hard which makes high fc...a small cc engine with turbo is fun to drive,when the boost is not in,its just like a normal NA engine and the fc will be lower than a normal NA engine too coz of compressed intake air so u get some bonus torque.I don't really need 3.0 cars. Not really fuel efficient for work purpose as I go through a lot of jams and traffic lights. This car should be good for work or play. I am not mocking proton. I know about their lotus handling etc. Might as well take an inspira if that's the case, right? but isn't that sort of a downgrade in brand but upgrade in car size ONLY? Its like 1.3 hybrid Insight,it has near 200nm torque which is on par with 2.0cc engine,when u test drive it,u can "feel" the pull all thx to high torque Same goes to diesel engine,if u dont mind |
