I’m kind of out of the midsize car market but The wife had a Buick Regal sometime ago that I liked. It was underpowered but it was a good vehicle.
Acceleration seems to be affected as well. Seems to be struggling and revving more in the lower gears. I'm sure I could get it fully checked out but considering I've had it for over ten years without any major maintenance I feel like I'm living on borrowed time. Could just be freaking myself out on it. All I've done is oil change/filters, new tires and brakes. Everything else, including the clutch is original. The car is definitely driving differently though.

As far as underpowered, that's what I'm kind of afraid of. I'm not a speed demon by any means but the reason I got the manual in the corolla was so I could use the limited power more effectively. I'd rather avoid being too underpowered if at all possible. I understand that I may be limiting myself here though.
