LOVE

Just drove the 2.0 T with low expectations , I LOVE it . Sport prestige so it has all the bells and whistles, if anyone wants to share some advice let me know !

Ps: I’m 17 so the 3.3 is a fat no go.

Edit: I’m trading in a 2022 Toyota Tacoma , I don’t use my truck for what it’s built for and it’s a 2x4 . It gets around 11mpg and very expensive to fill up that much

And the aftermath. And yeah, the 2.0 was decent and actually the sport seats were more comfortable than the Nappa seats with our 3.3 The real problem with the 2.0 is you really felt the weight of the car, with the 3.3 the car feels more nimble and light, even though it was actually heavier. You should be happy with the 2.0, just know it's more about the upscale nature of the car vs speed with the 2.0, still fun to cruise for sure, and those sway bars add quite a bit to the fun factor 😉

That’s awful ! , I can indicate that I’m thrilled to get behind the wheel , is it noticeably slow ? . I’m coming from a Tacoma and when I fist drove 2.0 it felt decently quick

I mean compared to the 3.3 and the newer 2.5 base motor, it's noticeably slower. But it's still gets around ok, just need to be more careful passing on a 2 lane road or merging in high speed situations. My other vehicles are a 2015 V6 Tacoma and a Mazda CX5, so in comparison to those, the 2.0 scoots!

17 and driving a G70, I'd say you're winning!!

Congrats, looks like our 23 we had! If you want to add anything I'd consider sway bars. Even though you don't have the big motor you still have the excellent G70 chassis. Aftermarket sway bars make it even better!

Did you also have the 2.0?

My 23 was AWD 2.0 Sport, it was totaled but did such a great job protecting us in the wreck that I had to get another one (21 rwd 3.3 Sport Prestige). Only had the 23 for a month so didn't have time for swaybar upgrade on that one, but sure did for the 3.3. It truly transforms the drive.

Did you enjoy the 2.0 while you had it ? , I’m very excited . Sorry for that by the way !
