I don't thnk l can enjoy driving nearly any 4 banger. The high pitch wheeze, generally feeble torque, some exceptions . Car rentals suck for this reason. I remember when i test drove my car in a 4 cyl 2.0 vs the 6 3.0, I didn't leave the dealer property before returning the 4cyl. I do a fair amount of interstate driving at 70+, I'd hate it. Of course I also hate the giant V8 SUV my wife drives though for different reasons. Having said that, I'm roughing in an electric car charger in our house we are building. Seems inevitable.
Wsj had a somber piece on the death of the sedan last weekend. I'm not a gearhead but I do secretly want to buy a modest classic muscle car.
