i honestly haven't gotten used to car enough yet to notice any tm kicking in or any limiting thus far. going to try to do some pushing in the ecm world to get something going for them. even a little clean up would help

Any thoughts on comparison to say the Chevy Cruze or Kia optima?

You can tune the Cruze with efilive and they get 45-50 more HP out of them, lol

My turbo Cruze isn't too bad, not by any means a performance vehicle... but I've gotten as good as 45mpg in it on a 25 mile commute in to the city of Pittsburgh.. about 20 miles of it was highway at 70mph.

The Cruze and Camry aren't even in the same class at all though so I wouldn't even try to compare them.

If mine wasn't a lease I probably would have ordered a tune for it... 45-50hp would really wake that car up.
