Hmmm. I appear to have a cheap coconutty drink to drive around in.
This Malibu does have the 3.5 litre V6. With 200 (woo) horsepower. And cheap rental tyres, a slush-o-matic and an open diff with 220lb/ft of torque means in the wet it's ****e. A prod of the accelerator spins the front end up, the traction control light comes on and it kills power. The light goes off, and we spin the front end up again. There also seems to be a half second time delay between moving the wheel and anything happening. It's cheap as hell inside, and rattles already with about 1500 miles on the clock. Deep, deep joy. -------------------- JDM ST205
Blitz Spec NUR Exhaust, somewhere over $1000 Needing another one 18000 miles later, bloody annoying. |
