Comment made about my car in the _Car and Driver_ May 06 “Cheap Skates” comparo:
“Acceptably good at everything, superb at nothing.”
Not too bad, I guess. It was put up against the Dodge Caliber, Honda Fit, Hyundai Accent, Kia Rio, Nissan Versa, and Toyota Yaris. It took home:
Most torque (131@4000)
Fastest 0-30 (2.7)
Fastest 0-60 (8.7)
Fastest 30-50 (10.3)
Fastest 50-70 (10.9)
Second best 1/4-mile (16.9@81, edged out by the Honda)
Best skidpad (.80g)
Lowest price as tested ($13,879)
Largest front and rear interior volumes (tied)
It would be misleading if I didn’t post that they ranked it dead last, and that its braking was tied with the Dodge for worst in the comparison, but actually seeing my car in a magazine for once blew my fucking mind.
