the thread is about efficency, quietness and smooth.
from my judgement, given the real value of both cars compared to luxury cars, they are pretty quite, adding more damping material is lot of work to make them quiter depends on how quite you want them to be.
i rather live with some noise.
abt efficeny and smooth, both engines are running on different systems which makes it complicated to valuate on cars used by general public, people have tons to things to do in a day than worrying abt car was smooth.
