Torque King
Got a 1.4 astra hire car from work. It has a whole 100bhp and a staggering 96lbft of torque. Its absolutely frustratingly awful to drive, it simply can't accelerate. There's no pleasure in driving it whatsoever. I don't understand why people buy low powered petrol cars. Fair enough, you might need an economical car, so get a diesel, the mpg is just the same and it will be far better to drive as it will have some torque. Even in standard unremapped form my bora had 2.5 times the torque and only 2mpg average less than this astra.
