The HP is acceptable for such a small/light car, the 6 spd is a very good choice, and the powersteering with different modes is inGenius. But there's nothing sporty about a one off Front Engine FWD. Especially when it has a cheapo semi-solid rear suspension.
"The front MacPherson strut suspension and rear H-shaped torsion beam suspension settings are tuned to provide a sporty, solid and dynamic driving experience."
Whatever happened to Full independent front and rear suspensions? Did it fall off the technology list? It'll probably handle worse than the old Escorts.Which if it's not about acceleration or handling and the MPG is only so-so for a mild hybrid what are they selling it for? looks?
I saw the link on Honda-tech and the only good comments I could find were regarding how it looked which as I've read is that it looks even better in person. Now excuse me while I cry about how much the automotive world hates me, har har
