Current car 1.1L, next car 2.0L? Too big of a jump?
I've had my Hyundai Getz now (first car) for around and year and will soon be moving onto a new car.
My heart is currently set on a Honda Civic Tyre R (2006 and before, the older shape).
Would going from a 1.1L engine to a 2L engine be too big of a jump?
As in, would it be too powerful for me as I'm only 20?
My parents seem to think so but really I reckon they're just saying that!
Thanks.
P.S. I don't want any responses about the cost, just to do with being able to handle the car.
A 2.0 liter engine is still quite meek in the grand scheme of things. Sure, it will be peppier than the 1.1L but not hugely.
I really don't think it's anything to worry about, when I was 16, my first vehicle had 6.4L V8. A 2.0L isn't anything to be concerned over.
A car will only go as fast as you make it go, take it easy till you are comfortable with it.
No it won't be a problem since you have control of the power output with your right foot. Even 500 bhp cars can be driven gently around town.
2.0L should be extremely easy to handle. I learned in a 5.6L and my first car was 3.5L, besides Hondas have barely any torque, so torque steer shouldnt be a problem and its FWD so handling should be relatively easy aswell
Get an insurance quote on the 2.0l Civic Type R before you buy it, because at age 20 you might get a shock! Insurance rates drop a lot when you reach age 25 without claims or crashes, so you might want to wait a few years before upgrading. Buy yourself some high-performance driver training, so you can enjoy the most performance and safety of every car you drive.
- My wife's but is too big for the backseat of of my Honda Rebel 250? How to make a bigger backseat? My wife finds the backseat of my 2006 Rebel uncomfortably small. I've searched the internet to see if they make a larger option, but I haven't found anything. Is there a larger backseat I can buy? I'm considering building my own. I have foam and vinyl, but I need to think of a material to make a sturdy, seat-shaped frame piece that I could attach the vinyl to. Any ideas?
