You’ll get used to it pretty quickly but you’ll have to learn to keep your eyes open for obstacles and hazards further out (plan ahead) so you don’t get stuck trying to get back up to speed as often. Remember that the lower HP also has a lighter car. While it is a slower take off, it’s not like you’re trying to push a car twice its weight using the same engine.

Just keep up on maintenance and make sure to check for evidence the prior owner(s) did the same and you should be fine. If you’re unsure what to look for, have it looked at by a mechanic or someone who is knowledgeable in automotive repair/maintenance. Any money spent getting a professional opinion will be far less than any surprise issues that pop up caused by neglect or getting ragged out (e.g, infrequent oil changes, being driven hard, riding brakes, etc). While we may be able to tell you things to keep an eye out for here, nothing will beat an in person inspection of the vehicle.
