Driven both this week in very similar good stock mechanical condition. The
2.1 wins hands down. Driving up a steep freeway section here called the
"Pacifica Grade," the 2.1 can scoot up at 60 mph. best I can do with the 1.9
is 50. For comparisons sake, most domestic V8 powered pick-ups (no load, no
cap) have to make a sincere effort to make 65 mph on this same hill.
