I tried a 1835cc and drove all around Vancouver and I really had to row to get going, I stepped into a 2110cc and it was a very good and able car. Lived with it for 5 years. Sold it and built a 2.5L full subie with 5 sp and reverse R&P as I suggested to you. The engine torque band is so broad and flat with torque starting from the get go. Very Very pleasant, turn the key and go. I agree with Wolfgang, it is a more modern and easier to service engine and tranny combo and it supports A/C and heat much more easily. Talk to Greg.
