You still haven't answered. Was the 1600 Datsun a fast car off the showroom floor ?

If you can't work out what to do with a lightweight, good handling car to make it into a performance car, you're a fool.

If you have a look at the new GE it's really not that far off the mark. I mean check out the Swift Sport. It's marketed as a performance hatch and it's only putting out 4kw more than the 1.5L GE. In it's class I reckon the Jazz is a pretty good performer. It's really not fair comparing it to older cars that are in a different class. As far as performance goes, you can get better for the money but if you want a new car that can still perform well after some mods then a Jazz would be good imo. Not many better new cars in the same class as the Jazz.

Yep. Spot on the money.

You can take a factory standard Jazz VTi and it's still fun to drive, but it's no performance vehicle. It's not going to win any races or time trials, but there's a zip to it's acceleration and handling that make it an enjoyable ride.

Hell even the GLi is fun to drive.
