I am confused!!!! I had a Fit that was totaled and I am thinking about witing to replace it with the HRV. One big consideration in my mind is the slightly larger Civic engine. Will this make the HRV a little bit better performance-wise? Especially with pick-up at an intersection.
Here is my confusion. The Civic engine is only about 8 Horse Power larger. But the HRV is several hundred pounds heavier. It seems to me the HRV will have a WORSE Horsepower to Weight ratio. Not only so, but the HRV will sit higher, which seems like it would create more wind resistance and looser handling?????
If I am basically holding out for the HRV because I think it will have more "get up and go" than my Fit had am I just fooling myself???
PLEASE HELP! I do not want to wait for nothing, nor do I want to pay more money and end up with less of a car in terms of drive-ability. I really don't care that much about all the tech stuff.
