Although mine is no speed demon it is actually pretty brisk for driving around town. It's only on the straight, open road that I wish I had more powahhh for overtaking
Oh don't get me wrong, driving around town it's a gem. As soon as i get onto open roads and plant the foot though... there's that sudden sense of disappointment and a deep longing in my loins for MOAR POWAAAAAR
That said, it IS coming up to its 100k service. Been counting down the weeks, lol. I just wanna get it over an done with an celebrate the milestone! Birthday cake maybe?
Also: I think the manual cog-shifter would make a fair bit of difference at least to the feel of the driving involvement. Even driving my Aunt's little Yaris is more enjoyable simply cos it's a manual, compared to my dad's (still on it's way) auto Yaris
