Everyone pitch in a dollar and force timpo to drive it for a year

dared3vil0 05-22-2014 05:23 PM

Yeah sorry, i'd love to see that 5 star crash test after an SUV/full size car hits it...

knight604 05-22-2014 05:24 PM

^ You're dead in pretty much any car if you get hit at speed by a big rig...

knight604 05-22-2014 05:43 PM

Crash tests are done using the same model car.

dared3vil0 05-22-2014 06:49 PM

^ That was my point...

Phil@rise 05-22-2014 07:21 PM

Interesting,

"An inline, 3 cylinder, .9 liter, 55 HP, fuel-injected, SOHC gas-powered, liquid-cooled, automotive engine."

"5-speed manual or automatic. And yes, it has a reverse gear."

"Top speed is in excess of 100 MPH, and the 0-60 speed is under 9.6 seconds."

"The engine is in the front and it is a front-wheel-drive vehicle."


Would be down to purchase 5MT, brand new car for cheap, that isn't unacceptably slow as a daily driver.
