LOL... trust me.. it's no tractor.
And I have to say the sound of the narrow angle V6 is pretty unique. plus you get the blip on gear change where there is a sort of Boof or pop from the exhaust.. I'd love to open it up a bit and get a bit more R36like sound going on.. but then again the car is not an R36 and its not why i bought the car..
Might have to head up to Hi-Tech in a year or two for some nice hand made Stainless bi-mordial mufflers to enjoy both sides of the spectrum.
Yeah FWD is the one thing I'm not overly keen to own again......and even now the AWD demons are gnawing away in the back of my mind!
I can't wait to get mine and hit the open road with a few weekend trips and see what it's really like. I'm sure the performance will be pretty impressive and not tractor like at all lol. What made in choose the Superb is it it seems to be a great all round package. So i'm sure it will handle itself pretty well as well being one hell of a comfortable drive as well.Quote:

I'm comparing to my wife's recent model corolla (which I've since sold) and other recent model small-medium FWD cars that I've driven.
That's not to say that I'd turn down the V6 superb if my wallet had enough notes in it.
