Performance
The 2.0-liter, four-cylinder engine does a decent job of getting the car up to speed as long it doesn’t involve a hill. With 140 horsepower and 136 lb.-ft. of torque, there’s enough oomph for most situations. Residents of California and states using the same smog rules get 130 horsepower and 129 lb.-ft. of torque. The four-speed automatic transmission works better on up hill stretches with overdrive turned off. Taking the transmission out of overdrive also makes for crisper acceleration because it stays in each gear longer. The five-speed manual is the way to go for better performance.
