I like the way the v6 feels but according to owners the manual eats clutches. And it’s not very powerful.
power isn’t a huge deal for me atm, I drive something with about 120hp atm and the v6 tibby is rated at like 176 so it’d be a decent step up…ish. I just want something fun to throw around the winding back roads of florida that can keep up with a fair amount of the tuned cars out there.
I remember this car at traffic light,the owner revving his V6 next to Honda Jazz and screetchhhhhh when light turns green…its V6 sounds like Nissan V6 :D
Never driven one myself but according to my friends who have owned one its incredibly underpowered and struggles to get up hills. Also if you are even slightly above average height you wont fit comfortably. Amd from personal experience the backseat is a joke and you might as well remove it. Weight reduction!
the V6 is defiantly not underpowered.. the 1.6 straight 4 is a little underpowered but no less than an mx-5 and trust me its easier to get into than an mx-5 with the top up
V6 with an auto gearbox is unbeatable for reliability. Had one in the other day with 188k miles and still purring like a kitten. Wouldn’t suggest the manual though.
V6 + manual, yes please! I love these things.
i read somewhere that the 2.0 i4 is better than the v6, becasue teh v6 is too heavy for the car + it is fwd. so lotta understeer when opt for the v6, and to be honest, i am thinking of buying the 2.0 when i will get my licence :) and reliability is pretty good but gotta watch out for faulty exhaust pipes. and the running costs are cheap too :) looking forward for the car :)
