Sounds good to me. Sign me up for the "poverty feature" turbo 1.0L that produces the same HP as the 1.6 but burns less gas and incurs fewer taxes. Nice poverty!

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
