Welcome!

Yep, all vehicles are compromises with the goal of targeting a particular target market at the best profit margin (or to meet a particular mandate at the lowest cost). While a good majority of the vehicle is probably best left alone, there are certainly areas which can be improved for either performance or efficiency (or occasionally both). You'll be able to find out which improvements are expected to work and which aren't at this site.
