But if you are going to put a V6 into a small hatch, put it in the middle and make it RWD, like a Renault Clio V6.
Or the BMW 130i with 195kw and 6 speed manual.
I imagine the bmw with rooted suspension buses and $50 Chinese tyres could still go around corners better than one of those Corollas.

FC I was going to suggest a look at the Lexus LS600 hybrid. 300kw and suppose to be good for mid 8s/100km. We get a lot of them here as used imports and 2008-12 models sell from as low as $12k. But I see ones the same age on carsales are 4-5 times that.
