Once you have driven a car with g6e t power it would be frustrating to drive one of these under powered cars IMO. Sure, it handles better but if you are going around corners faster than you can in my g6e t, then you are going way too fast. The only place you could use the potential extra corner speed is the track.I do think they are great value for money and are fantastic for their demographic (I would have bought one when I was single and in my 20's) I hope they sell heaps.

Being Toyota its only a matter of time before the performance parts come out. Would rather drive that through the mountains than our barges and that's when you will see it come into its own. For $30k drive away it would have to be one of the best value 2 doors out there. 1

So less weight again...VE Late model camira got under 11l/100ks by doing the same thing...lol
