Four motor mounts lessen vibration over the previous three. Though tractable around town, it's important to keep the revs up when driving in a spirited mode because the horsepower peaks at 6400 rpm. Maximum torque of 132 lb-ft develops at 4800 rpm and there isn't a lot of throttle response below 3000. On the other hand, the G20 still nets 31 mpg on the highway. Most G20s will be sold with automatic transmissions, but we highly recommend the smooth-shifting manual.
Cluch actuation comes relatively high on the pedal, allowing quick, easy shifts.
The viscous limited-slip differential directs torque to whichever front wheel offers the best traction. This enables quicker acceleration out of tight corners and may be the best reason to opt for the G20t over the base model. A new mount added above the transmission case reduces noise and vibration. The luxury entry market was not growing and we had the J30. Then the near-luxury market began picking up.
