IMO, you don’t need a lot of power for a daily anyway. I’d be very happy with ~300awhp. ---

Ya, and another thing to point out is if you have a short shifter, your tranny will blow a lot sooner. Having a short shifter in the car messes up the syncos, and that’s why even our KA/SR trannys have 3rd gear grinds mostly because of having a short shifter. Thanks for Ciaran (breaker77) for the tip! Plus, having 1.5years left of warranty on drivetrain is a bonus! ---

Very nice, tell me what the gas mileage is like on the LGT… I’m loving the interior, the dash, seats, seat warmers (WAF is high) and car aesthetics. Can you put in a GPS nav in the space between the vents (above the stereo) and can you upgrade/replace the stereo? ---

I get around 450kms with 90% city driving with a heavy foot until the light comes on. Emergency gas left over (Light on) is about 100kms or so, so from Full to Empty, I could say a good 550kms with a heavy foot. PS: Gas tank is around 60L. That works out to be just around 9L/100kms ---

I rule bad mileage with an iron fist 😃 I get like 11.5 -12L/100km, although if you average that with my beater that regularly gets 7, and sometimes dips into the 6’s, it’s not that bad.
