[QUOTE="Kevin Lang, post: 971620, member: 65699"] I think that's a big part of my problem--I look at these incredibly low HP ratings and I compare them to the ~200 HP of the vehicles I've driven the most, and I don't think that the low-HP engines can cut it. I realize that these cars are lighter than the ones that rock the ~200 hp engines, and can thus perform well enough, but I'm concerned that piling people in will overwhelm the wimpy looking engines. I did a fair amount of driving with a '98 ZX2 (automatic trans, unfortunately) and it was surprisingly fun to drive, especially when it came time to hit the gas station. Though that fun quickly went away when 4 people climbed into the car. Just adding 3 more people to the car took me from beating civics on the road to praying that I'd make it up the next hill.
