Huh? What's that you're saying? Sorry, we couldn't hear you over the excessive road and tire noise, not to mention the engine's harmonic dissonance. That little four-banger bangs out some high-decibel racket under normal conditions, and the continuously-variable automatic transmission goes one better by eliciting peaky, unrefined revs whenever the throttle is goosed a bit, while things get downright frenetic when the go pedal meets the floor.
