Is 98 horsepower enougth?

Mattie G Indahouse · February 19, 2016, 06:55:11 AM

At the end of March I'm going to be getting a new vehicle which will most likely by the 2016 Chevy Sonic(Gotta go fast). When I was searching for vehicles today and I came across the 2016 Chevy Spark which has 98hp. I was wondering if this thing would be able to handle the hills that are in my area. I rarely go up them, but they are about as steep as the one in this image. Would 98hp be doable or should I get the sonic which has around 130hp?

Look how well I've done with 98

I don't have many options for the price range I'm looking at which at max is $17,000. For what I would spend on a decent used car I would be better off getting new due to the warranty benefits. If it makes you feel better I almost got this.[/ur]

Wait... Why is there a 5.3 Vortrec in a Monte?
Why was Chevy even still making the Monte Carlo in 06?

gats · February 19, 2016, 07:26:24 AM

17k and your choice is between dumb and fucking dumber

DAS B00T x2 · February 19, 2016, 07:26:41 AM

Oh wait it's not a vortec, but an ls4

transverse

Hooked up to a four speed transaxle like the super disappointing v8 impalas of the same generation.

GOD DAMN IT GM
Berzerk, kill yourself for even considering that.

DAS B00T x2 · February 19, 2016, 07:36:23 AM

But anyway.... Had a Chevy Sonic as a rental car when I took a vacation in Texas. It's not horrible, as far as ecoboxes go and the hatch actually had a decent enough bit of space for our luggage. Final gearing is tall, so you're not being screamed at by the motor at interstate speeds. Just don't expect to fly past anyone.

Take the car for a roadtest and test the hill yourself.

Try it while having speed built up and from stop .

17 grand on a new car is a waste of fucking money.

Doesn't matter, it's still practically throwing money away.

Well yeah. You don't go in to the new car market without expecting to piss away money and lose your ass when it's time to resell.

But to some people factory warranties make it "worth it". I like to call them crazy still.

New car warranties are annoying. My friend bought a brand new RAM and about 2 months later he heard a severe rattle and ticking noise under the hood. He brought it to the dealership here and they diagnose the Fazer have gone. They would not cover it under warranty. They consider it a wearable part. My friend said the hell with that and drove 20km to other Chrysler dealership.

They covered it under warranty cause it's not a wearable part.

If you live in the midwest US where there are literally no hills, then yes you'll be fine. Oh and good luck getting up to speed on the freeway...

My girlfriend's car has 126hp and is a struggle to drive sometimes.

why would anyone want 98 horses

Your momma's vibrator has more horsepower.

Seriously, how she uses it without chipping a tooth amazes me

Seriously, 98 is weak

A Toyota Prius and Nissan Leaf have more bhp than that car
