Once again I find myself recommending a Saab to fit the bill.  Saab has benefited from its strategic partnering with GM and Subaru. The COTD is the Saab 9-2x or the Saabaru. 

The 9-2X Aero is a basically a Subaru Impreza WRX wagon given the Saab refinement.  I’ve been a big fan of the WRX since it first came out.  It is a value and performance leader.  You get 227 turbo-charged horses with AWD.  The nice thing about the Saab version of the WRX is a smoother ride and a much nicer interior treatment.

If $4 gas is making you put a car’s MPG rating on top of the performance list there was even a non-turbocharged 9-2x Linear.  It has a 2.5 liter boxer 4 cylinder engine that produces a respectable 165hp and gets 20/27mpg on regular pump gas while still retaining the fun to drive aspect of the car. 

If you’re looking for a car with a bit more storage than your average economy car, way more luxury and sport than any economy car, while still getting economy car MPG performance the Saab 9-2x Linear is the car for you.  If you want a bit more power look at the 9-2x Aero.

Do you Vishnu? https://www.caroftheday.org/2008/05/14/do-you-vishnu/ https://www.caroftheday.org/2008/05/14/do-you-vishnu/#comments Thu, 15 May 2008 04:28:57 +0000 http://www.caroftheday.org/?p=31 The great thing about modern turbo charged engines is that they are a simple reprogramming away from a serious horsepower “boost”.  It isn’t uncommon for a proper tune on a turbo charged engine to result in an extra 100hp!

Is a Mitsubishi Evolution, Subaru STI, Legacy GT, Forester XT, WRX or a BMW 335i on your list of potential next cars?  Do you wish that your future car had a little more power?  Each of these can get an easy 40-100hp from just a new ECU. 

A 300hp BMW 335i can become a 400hp BMW 335i with just the Vishnu ECU tune.  Vishnu turns the 335i into a car that hit 60 in 4.4 seconds and cross the 1440 ft mark in 12.7 seconds.

If you have a Mitsubishi Evo IX then Vishnu has a deal for you.  For $750 you can add about 100hp to your Evo and turn it into a 380hp beast that can do 60mph in 3.9 seconds and trip the ¼ mile lights in 12.3 seconds.  That is a great deal and only takes about 20 minutes to install. 

If any of the cars Vishnu tunes ended up in my garage, I guarantee that the Vishnu tune would end up under the hood and seriously boost the output of my ride.
