Engine Question? - Toyota Yaris Forums

Then it defeats the purpose of buying an economical car whose major selling point is its great mileage. A turbo motor, especially one from the late 80s early 90s is hardly a candidate for fuel efficiency.

If you wanted to go fast, get another car, maybe? Something that isn't so tall. You could lower the car till it rubs the fenders and it'd still be tall.

Don't get me wrong, it is a fun car to drive and I love mine to bits, but this talk about 200 plus horsepower makes me wonder whether the car was ever designed to cope with it.
