Could you please elaborate how else and how accurately should I explain what I AM FEELING...
Please read my lines carefully...I said that the 1.6 feels more powerful and responsive than the GLi but the Grande is far above its siblings...that does not mean power alone buddy....I am talking about the whole package, the experience behind the wheel...be it at 100 plus kmph or at 20 kmph...the cabin feel...and yes the CVT, the tyres, the leather, the dash, the space, the seats, the extra torque and bhps contribute...but isn't that what makes it a car...and aren't those some of the factors which makes a car stand out from others...
The magic word here was I FELT...it was about the feel buddy - my experience in the car and not the science behind it...At the end of the day The CVTs, the engine power, the bhps and torques are of no use if I don't get a wow feel...Sorry to say but the Grande WOW factor for me was way above 15% percent...maybe because for me it wasn't just about the power, it was about the entire experience...In the 1.6 Altis...there was no wow factor for me and as I had pointed out, I just felt it was nothing more than a very powerful Gli and thats about it...you may agree with me or not...doesn't matter because this is how I FELT...
