Ofcourse Sportivo engine won't be as smooth as Euro's. Euro's are 'luxury' sedans, not sports hatchback. That's completely irrelevant IMO.
ever driven a v6 triton?? if you had you wouldnt think i was impaired...and yes a car does feel quicker the less refined it is...and if you think otherwise then its you thats impaired..its simple fact..unless of course all you have ever driven is hondas or bmws.Quote:

Calling other cars 'pissy' with no substantial facts to back it up can only be looked at as fanboy comment. What else is that? are you that blind?Quote:

Just the fact that you owned many different cars doesn't make your non-sense argument correct. "Euro feels slower because it's refined" that's what I was referring to.
Obviously, the Euro is a superior car. They cost $10K more or something.
That's not even relevant here. Nobody even brought refinement into the argument before you did. I don't see how refinement has anything to do with speed. lol
I've been in Hyundai Excel, which had the worst NVH level ever and that didn't make it feel any faster. In fact, it made it feel even slower because it made heaps of noise but it didn't go anywhere.
Just been going through my old Motor magazines. Best they could get from the Sportivo was 16 sec flat for the 1/4 mile. A long way off 14.5 secs, and these guys can drive.
*sigh* 05 Sportivo is different from older models. It's been revised to meet the claimed power output figure because previous models didn't produce the claimed power output. I'm really getting tired of people commenting on things that they don't know about. :thumbdwn:Quote:

there times are of flat starts.Quote:

Coladuna, I'm not saying that the Sportivo is slow/crap etc. I quoted Motor magazine to show what time an experienced driver could get out of the car. It's not my fault if Toyota misled there customers and sold them cars that didn't produce the power they were supposed to, as you claim, although I find it hard to believe that a company with the reliabilty/quality control of Toyota would allow that to happen.
hehe..its funny reading all these..chill guys. we're all here to have fun ^o^. Toyota, Honda, Mitsubishi, Nissan whatever...cars are cars. No point in dissing anyone personally over a car is there? SMILE! Doesnt matter if one is quicker than the other. Most of us will never get on the 1/4 mile strip or even use the full 7000rpm powerband often enough anyway. SMILE! I'm happy! Then again..all this coffee is getting to me.
