Why no power for the 4 Cyl Frontier..?

Hi there,

I'm a huge Nissan fan, but I am very, very disappointed with the power of the 4 cylinder Nissan Frontiers. (sorry, ..please don't take offense). I have test driven, on several occasions, the NEW 4 cylinder, 5 speed King Cab Frontiers and am very unimpressed with the power. DOn't get me wrong, I love the truck's list of standard features and the very attractive prices....but the power is ....slow at best.....

More on this...I was even able to take out a Frontier 5 speed without the sales person. I drove the truck like I stole the damn thing...but still, no real power. Immediately afterwards, I went to the Toyota dealer and drove a Tacoma...wow, what a difference! But with the Tacoma...everything is an option and you pay out the a$$ on it. That's probably why I still have a '93 toyota truck. Don't want to pay so much for a basic new Tacoma when you can get a loaded Frontier for the same price.

Again, I'm not bashing (or trying not to) on the Frontier...because I truely like them.....attractive styling and loads of features.

Also, my father has a '93 Toyota truck as well...he wanted the Frontier too, but after the test drive he said he'll keep the old Toyota. He's in his late 50's and is not a power addict...but even he said it didn't seem to have much power.

Are we wrong....?....or are the stock Frontiers fairly slow?

Thanks....and again, I hope I don't offend anyone......
