92kw at the flywheel for the Barina SRi
141kw at the flywheel for the Corolla Sportivo (mine was dyno'd at 112kw at the wheels)

yes i am well aware of the power difference. however peak power doesn't have much to do with real world performance in my opinion.

peak power tells you a stivo should be neck to neck with an SRiT which is laughable. SRiT is in a different class due to the torqueless high-revving wonder that is the old Celica engine

no question your old stivo would leave every Barina in the dust though. and agreed on leather, CD stacker and general bulletproof Toyota engineering

going a bit off introduction topic here

Welcome Joe.

Im sure you will be enlightened by the many XC owners here. And maybe we can enlighten them on the Sportivo a bit.

i've got to say, the handling of the barina was a tiny bit better... but overall the corolla was a lot more fun to drive and i still got the same fuel economy out of it even when flogging it

besides, i missed the leather, climate control, 6 cd stacker, 6 speed manual gearbox, and generally just the feel of the car

and now you have a yaris, that has 13kw, and does 0-100 in 25 years.

that's cool by me - means it will take me 25 years to lose my licence then... sweet

Uh-oh - any mention of Lift and Dee gets all excited....
