When I test drove the 3 1.6(since there was no test unit for the 3r), you have to rev it up to get that 105hp. I was'nt as much impressed after driving it. interior space is kinda cramped. But overall it was an 'ok' car. In the end I ended up with a diesel pickup instead.

Yes, but the 1.6 AT isn't really all that keen to rev, especially with the heavy gearbox.
My cousin loves his 1.6 to death, but he admits you need to plan your overtakes well.
A manual gearbox would really have cured all these problems.

February 17th, 2006 03:17 PM #35Seems just fine with me... although I drive 100% activematic, does your cousin do the same?
Just to check how different I drive with activematic, than it is with full auto on the 3... I occasionally check by putting the stick back to D... usually when I'm 2, the AT would be in 1, when I'm in 2, AT would be at 4... * 1.5k - 2.5k rpm lang naman ako madalas eh. But the 1st gear can be taken to 5.5k if you really have to...

For highway speed overtaking daw. Around town yata, it's okay. I'll ask him when I see him.
He used to be mild mannered as a driver, though... but after he got that, medyo 140 na rin ang takbo niya... I guess it's enough power for him. :lol:

hmmm..i agree with niky. the 1.6 definitely needs a m/t. . sobrang daming comments about the 1.6l's power and response. heck even my finance prof na walang ka-alam alam sa kotse umaangal. hehehe
