This isn't supposed to be a track vehicle.. it's just meant to be fun. If you want better corning capabilities,a few simple adjustments to the suspension like sway bars and the likes can tighten it up for you.
That's kinda shocking that you feel more confidence in the C-HR than the DC2 and Skyline as those were pretty darn capable
I agree. All this engine and handing negative stuff is overdone in my opinion. Did anyone test drive the C-HR before purchasing?Coming from integra dc2's skyline etc etc Im having as much speed and confidence in the Chr as them on the road. In fact I feel like I can push it a bit more on the road than my rattly race machines.
Very shocked. Feels Planted to me.
I guess its going to be more skittish than a 3 ton Cadillac or what ever you drive mostly over there![]()
I did and the test drive gave me the initial impressions that the engine isn't too bad. But I wasn't driving in heavy traffic either. That's why it's important to get opinions from long term owners as a few minute test drive doesn't reveal all the flaws of a car. Professional car reviews can bridge some of the gap as they have more time with the car and don't have a sales guy sitting in the passenger seat distracting you from doing a full on test drive.I agree.

I have had 3 bmws and the last had the twin turbo 6. I was tired of paying 5.70 per gallon and getting 23 miles per gallon. In my C-HR right close to 30 mpg. It is fun to drive and looks good inside and out. Have a good day...I did and the test drive gave me the initial impressions that the engine isn't too bad.

When I test drove my BMW, the sales guy just tossed me the keys and said have fun.
Also took 40 minutes on city and interstate on my test drive.I have had 3 bmws and the last had the twin turbo 6. I was tired of paying 5.70 per gallon and getting 23 miles per gallon. In my C-HR right close to 30 mpg. It is fun to drive and looks good inside and out. Have a good day...
Was this discussion about fuel economy? Show me any performance oriented vehicle that has fuel efficiency as one of its design criteria. I never said the C-HR wasn't a good handling car did I. It's just a joke with acceleration. Especially when you compare it to its competition. All of the other vehicles in its class out accelerate this car; the HR-V by 2 seconds from 0 to 60 with the same if not better fuel economy.I have had 3 bmws and the last had the twin turbo 6.

Well, good for you.Also took 40 minutes on city and interstate on my test drive.
Thx for the reply. The car is just a good deal for milage and car makers do design some for milage. I also owned a Harley Sportster. I just did not have a "need for speed" when at the Toyota dealership. ;^}Was this discussion about fuel economy?

I've had 3 performance cars with the one prior being a 350 Chevy small block LT1 Z28 and my current 135i. I never moaned about fuel economy when I have any of these cars because I knew what I was getting into. Neither do I moan about the three motorcycles I own; two of them being BMWs (S1000RR and C650 Sport) and Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R. All of them take premium. Don't moan about that either.
Well, good for you.
Have a good day...
