This single ratio represents how fast a car is, in very simplified theory. The higher the number, the faster the car is. To get it, power is divided by weight. The more power - the faster. On the contrary, more curb weight will mean the car is harder to accelerate.
Power to weight

0.0600 |

All wheel drive (AWD) is not to be confused with Four wheel drive (4WD or 4x4). AWD is a setup popularized by Audi and Subaru as a mainstream production strategy to boost perfomrance and arguably safety. Usually all 4 wheels provide variable torque fulltime. Advantages:

Bigger engines use shapes like V6 and V8. Smaller engines are usually I4. The number refers to cylinders and the letter refers to shape of their arrangement. Rarer designs include boxer and rotary engines.

Power, that is what its all about. This is the basic measurement for car engines. The higher, the faster usually. Don't forget that the heavier the car, the more power it requires.
Horsepower
|
250 hp @ 5800 |
| Torque | 258 lb-ft @ 1850 |

The compression ratio is one of many ways to gauge engine design. The higher the ratio, the better designed the engine is since more mechanical energy can be extracted from it. In other words, more of the explosion turns into power sent to the wheels, which is good efficiency.
Compression ratio

9.3:1 |

These are the dimensions of individual cylinders. Stroke is the length and bore is the area of the cylinder's footprint. Long stroke engines develop more torque, making it great off-the-line. However, shorter stroke allows the engine to spin faster and create more top end power, making them great for highway or racing.
Bore x stroke

3.19 X 3.40 in |

Engine displacement is the size of the engine, except on the inside. It is the internal volume of all cylinders. The larger these chambers are, the more torque can be developed. This is why larger engines have so much pep from a standing start.
Displacement

2671 cc |
 Valvetrain is the part of your engine that controls how fuel and air enters and exists the cylinders. SOHC is the cheap design. DOHC is a the more expensive design often used in performance vehicles. The number represents the total number of valves. The more - the better, performance-wise. |
30/DOHC |

How well is the engine designed? One way to evaluate this is to ask how much power the engine gets for its size. The higher the number, the better engineered the unit it. Higher values allow to have both high power and reasonable economy.
Horsepower per litre
|
93.60 |

Turbochargers reuse exhaust energy to force more air into the combustion chamber to both increase fuel economy as well as perfomrance. Notably, depending on the size and specific of the application, low end torque or extraordinary top end performance can be achieved. |

Sizes and Capacities
 Turning diameter refers to the tightest possible turn in this car. Useful bit of information for any driver looking to perform parallel parking or U-turn maneuvers. The measurement, in feet, refers to the width of the road that you'd be able to U-turn on without going on curbs or grass. |
38.3 ft |
| Height | 62 in |
| Width | 76 in |
| Length | 189 in |
| Front track | 62.0 in |
| Rear track | 62.4 in |
| Ground clearance | 7.6 in |
 Distance between the centers of the axles. This is the length if you were to stretch the tape measure from the center of the front wheel and run it back to the center of the rear wheel. |
108 in |
| Weight for manuals | 4167 lb |
| Gastank capacity | 18.5 gal |
MPG, fuel and more
| Original msrp | $39950 |
| Tires | 225/55R17 |
