Interesting you mention weight. It's 300+lbs heavier without much of the HP bump.

The '00 2.5RS (Manual) was 2810lbs, Auto was 2840 iirc (may had been north of 2900). The 2023 Sport Hatch CVT is 3145lbs, and that has the 2.0L. Going to add at least 40-50lbs over the nose for that extra 1/2L.

350lbs for 20 more HP? Hope the gearing in the CVT makes up for it.
