Having had my current hire car for a few days I realise how much I miss petrol engines, after 8 years of diesels.
Although it's a Hyundai, it has a 3.8l V6 with an 8 speed auto box. The best part is it produces 333bhp. It is so smooth that I can't tell if it's running or not at idle, it pulls well during normal driving with the box keeping it below 2,000rpm. That is until you floor it, when you get a lovely growl from the twin exhausts and the speedo moves up the numbers faster, much faster
Downside is 20mpg, with 25 on a run. I can live with that, or can I?
