how about wet and winter performance

Sure you can have a car with more hp , it can be RWD or FWD and but don't expect to get traction in the rain. 0-60 in somewhere close to 6 seconds is fast, and being able to do that on a slick surface is awesome.

also pointed out that Honda and Mazda put those motors in their BASE models

The Accord does not come with that type of HP in their base car. I believe it is an anemic 170 HP. As for the Max or the Altima they are still going to be slower than the Rex and more expensive, as the same case for the Z. Price that is.

combination of torque/hp is important, but i do agree that 227 isnt enough. Imagine if our cars came with 255hp! wow!
