I did some pulls to seat the rings when
I first got the car and now I'm babing
the engine until the recommended 1000.
Seating the rings was a teaser of the
potential of this peppy little wagon.
The misses jumped on me because I
surpassed the 4k max rpm for breakend
when I had to pull out in heavy traffic
Even at 3/4 throttle the car and rpm's
jump when you reach 3k rpm.
Unfortunatly I see that you really need
to either slip the clutch or drop the
clutch if you really want a fast
takeoff. But in turn it's a nice little
car to putt around at gas saving
speeds. There is enough power
at low rpm's for everyday around town
driving.
Favorite Features
Even putting around town, the car is a
blast to drive. It's cute, can get
good gas mileage, has some grrr when
you step on the loud pedal. This wagon
is a perfect sleeper. *The 03 has a
trailer hitch connector now, unlike the
02.
Suggested Improvements
I installed the trailer hitch and a
Prodrive muffler the second day I had
the car. The stock muffler doesn't do
this car justice. The main driver is
over 50 and a woman and she loves the
sound of quiet rumble the Prodrive
muffler gives the car. The Prodrive
should be a stock item.
