It feels like a normal car. It can get up to speed just fine but doesn't feel fast or anything.Does the turbo make the car feel zippy, quick etc? Or is it just there to supplement a smaller engine making it feel like a normal car?
My mom just got a new Camry SE and has a similar horsepower output. It feels like a normal car. It can get up to speed just fine but doesn't feel fast or anything.
What's the Camry weigh? This engine in a car that weighted 1,000 lbs less would feel amazingly fast. This engine in a Pilot or Odyssey would not feel fast by any means.My mom just got a new Camry SE and has a similar horsepower output. It feels like a normal car.

What dick w was saying is that boosting an engine's output with a turbocharger will increase the engine's efficiency. All of the fuel is burned up before reaching the exhaust stage. The ECU manages the fuel/air mixture including the wastegate for the turbocharger.They tailor the engine's output to what they want for fuel economy and performance. In this case, by most reasonable measures for cars in the compact or economy sedan class, Honda and the '16 Civic 1.5 turbo delivered. And the turbo helped them do both.
Mostly it puts more air charge in the cylinders than they'd get under normal atmospheric pressure. More air charge means you can add more fuel. More fuel means more power. So it gets more power out of smaller cylinders. Since they can use very low boost in cruise, they retain the economy benefits of the small engine. When they add boost under acceleration, they get more power for the displacement of the engine than they otherwise would.What dick w was saying is that boosting an engine's output with a turbocharger will increase the engine's efficiency.

The turbo is always spinning. They schedule the amount of exhaust to pass over it, hence boost, as a function of power demand--throttle, basically--so you get more boost as you demand more power. The Civic has an indicator that show more or fewer bars as a function of boost pressure so you can see how your driving effects boost. More boost equals lower fuel economy.Does the turbo kick in at a certain RPM, or at a certain pedal depression? Or does it kinda work all the time?
True, with an auto, you don't have to pay attention, but that's precisely why I want the 6MT!I do too much in my car to always pay attention to shifting.
With other cars they are boring, so you are finding stuff to entertain you while driving. (not the best idea needless to say) Get a manual car that id fun then the CAR is entertaining you and you will not want to do "other stuff".I'll probably learn some day. But it's not something I'd get in a car I drive for everything. I do too much in my car to always pay attention to shifting.
