But you said you'd had eight weeks of free insurance or something in your other thread, or are you now retracting that as the bs we all recognised it was?

I thought that was the case but looked at the bank statement and I was charged pro-rata. They did not charge for a cancellation fee though

Is the 2.4 a normally aspirated engine i.e. no turbo? If so, it'll lack a bit of torque and power mid range.

It is naturally aspirated. The car is due for a valve clearance so that should help with power.

So do you intend to update your other thread and now admit you were totally wrong? BTW, who's they, you said you did it 4 times, or was that made up as well.

Funny that. I wonder why. If you like I'm sure I or another member would be able to help out with that by posting a link to you bs retraction in this thread.

Just for completeness, you understand.

while a Yaris diesel 1.4 has 151lb-ft.

Is the OP who I think it is?!

The original poster referred only to a Honda Accord. I just picked the Yaris as an example of a car that is not fast but which has more torque, hence more of an immeadiate impression of acceleration, than the Accord.

Nope, I dont believe it is him. I think it's one of our other regulars... the one who asks a question then insults everyone when they don't agree with him. He's just not escalated as quickly this time.
