good enough to make the car moving...if u wan gassy acceleration, this is not the car you want...
of coz shifting to lower gear helps, but u will need a good rpm for that...
2adults is ok, 5 would be tougher...
slow move to genting not an issue, u wan speed like those taxi, forget this

Yes, very well said. It depends on what the driver expects from the car. By all means , 1.6L is NOT under-power, it is sufficient for normal commuting and to majority of owners, 1.6L engine is sufficient and meets their budget of a C segment car.

However, they are those who demand power and higher torque , presumably because of your driving preference or needs (lots of passengers, hilly terrain, always in a rush to go places), then go for the 2.0L.

To know what you need, please go for a test drive. Only then, you will know what you really need. Just my 2cents.
