Yes the handling balance and control is good, but the one i tested was pretty sluggish. Unless of course the 2.7 V6 [sly]

 

The power output from the 2.7 V6 (163 bhp) is actually quite dissapointing for it's capacity.

 

 

But its the torque that counts here. The HP is admittedly low, but at least it exercises the excellent chassis more, as compared to the anemic 2l auto!

[replyBut seriously, to each his own, and pride of ownership is the essence here. [cool][/reply]

 

Yup, to each his own but when the pride of ownership overshadows reason, it's not too good! [;)]

Heh, heh.........I'm actually comparing the 2.7's output with other 2.5 engines available now! [:p] I'm sure the 2.7 can be tuned to produce more juice!

Lester's santa fe has the same engine, and i know it moves the 1.6+ ton SUV well enough.. [:)]

 

Sure, like the 2.5l Bimmer inline 6, 192BHP [cool]

and that is where balance and reason comes in. [;)]

 

I'm quite glad the forumners here can take things with a pinch of salt and not flame each other at the slightest provocations, whether percieved or not! [:)] Makes this place a pleasant place to be. [:)]

In MY eyes, my PRESENT car would be the best car! [;)] Doesn't matter what other ppl say and to me, they have been missing something! [:p]

 

Of course, this will last until I get my next car. Then the NEXT car will be the best! [laugh][laugh][laugh][/reply]

 

Think the happiest man is not one that has a Ferrari or Porsche or whatever.... the happiest man is the man that can make the best out of whatever car he has!! [:)]
