How much hp/tq would you consider the minimum for a daily driver? Think 2 door econobox in major city traffic, NYC, Chicago etc. The significant other and I have been looking at cars and while she's been focusing heavily on mpg I don't want to try to pass someone and step on the gas and have it make noise and continue at the same speed. I've driven a dodge neon 5 years ago that was dangerously slow.
I've been thinking along 130/130 give or take, any comments? This post has been edited by v7guy: Jun 18 2006, 06:06 PM |

I'm all for fun beaters, but I just don't feel comfortable in really small cars. No matter how cheap they are. I can't really complain about my Malibu, 170hp, 27mpg, reliable, comfy, it goes when you ask it to, and it's cheap on replacement parts.
With that said, I'm looking at the 240hp G6 that gets almost the same mpg. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |
