As a owner of some "disrespected" cars, I can relate that often just good regular maintenance is more than enough to have a worry-free ride.
Anybody who thinks these are underpowered never drove a K-car with the 2.2 (non-turbo) or 2.5-a 2.7 would be a LOT quicker! Just have to keep a close eye on that coolant level, that's where the disaster would originate.
