Keep your foot down and you can make decent progress, as with most things. The handling isn't all that bad, you just have to keep your speed up because there's no power.

cyberia posted:When that car finally poo poo the bed for good I upgraded to a late '70s Toyota Corolla in gross orange which was a totally functional car that happened to be a good 30 years past its prime: If you're calling TE27/TE72 Corollas boring I will  you.Though not as popular as Datsun 510s, they are awesome little cars and tons of people race and mod them:    They also share a lot in common with the more famous AE86 Corolla, and you can play Toyota legos with a lot of the drivetrain and suspension bits from all three generations.

Bet you it was a hell of a lot quicker than my old work vehicle:  (not it but the same body config) It had the non-turbo diesel which was impressively gutless (bear in mind the much more powerful turbo version only had 85hp)

InitialDave posted:My recently-departed Clio was a base model 1.2 8v. With its go-cart like handling it's pretty fun and because of it's biscuit sized wheels it accelerates to 30 quite nicely, but even with my foot planted on the floor it struggles to hit 70 flat out.

The primary function of the sunroof is to provide an extra place for the rain to leak in. Also, the fewer accessories driven by the auxiliary belt (literally only the alternator) the more of that 60bhp is going straight to the wheels!
