correction...the subaru impreza TS is 4WD instead of AWD....well...pickup is slow...this is because 4WD loses abt 20-25% power at the wheels...do take note that figures given by manufacturers are engine output and not the acutual figures at the wheels..
well..the honda vtec is no longer as wild as it was before ( refering to the currect ES series of civics and not the eg or ek series) besides, the new honda civics are all SOHC as compared to the older DOHC ones...(not refering to the type Rs)
well...like wat i said..the new honda jazz has a new design which uses 2 spark plugs per cyclinder as compared to 1 per cyclinder....therefore fuel consuption is good...also, max torque kicks in at ard 2000++ rpm, meaning car has good pickup and feels responsive..this in turn saves petrol as u dun have to rev the engine for fast pickup or when u need the extra speed to overtake...do note that the new honda jazz 1.5vtec has a revolutionary 7 speed CVT automatic gearbox...super for cruising
