Haha, yes, yes i know.
I was mainly doing town driving or 50mph dual carriageways at the time and I couldn't maximise the VTEC so i was essentially driving round a 2.0L car with poor torque as doing over 6,000 rpm meant doing over 60mph.
Handled well though but wrong car for wrong circumstances - lasted less than 3 months before i changed it for an Elise.
Its not that you couldnt, you just wouldnt....I was mainly doing town driving or 50mph dual carriageways at the time and I couldn't maximise the VTEC so i was essentially driving round a 2.0L car with poor torque as doing over 6,000 rpm meant doing over 60mph.

ks. Probably the 50 on a dual carriageway in a vtec that’s made him think your a slow coach bell end

I do understand this disagreement I remember driving an s2000 on test and how annoying it was to sit in second gear at 4000 rpm trying to effect an overtake on a dawdling car - the thing was useless unless you got it into the power band which didn’t always suit the law/traffic at all.
I have exactly the same issue with my 991 GT3 which also is pants on the road for the same reason - and I’ve banged on about this before - my m4 has power everywhere which suits real roads better. In magazine articles where the journo crystallises the review into one fantastic run sure, the GT3 or s2000 is fantastic but to live with it’s just annoying.
Still love the GT3 very much but I’m an eyes wide open kind of guy rather than “high price has its own reward” kind of thing.

Odd, if not doing more than 50 on a 40mph dual carriage makes me a bell end then so be it.ks. Probably the 50 on a dual carriageway in a vtec that’s made him think your a slow coach bell end

Are you sure - I don't think they are thinking of doing a diesel auto! 
I've never had a diesel auto - but it looks like you may have one (Chelsea tractor GLC perhaps)!

I'm a sucker for a diesel auto to cover big miles in...sadly!
Fair enough, I had a diseasel when I did big miles and got HMRC mileage rates (but couldn't succumb to an auto)! But now I don't do enough miles to justify a diesel, so I don't have one!
I'll always prefer petrol though, and I look back at much happier times when I ran my X5 V8 4.8iS as a daily.
The bloody thing crippled me in fuel though...so I've turned soft as I've got older!
