Yeah at around 100hp I wouldn't expect too much, manual trans or not. Built to save gas, not go fast. But there are a few mods you could do which would make it noticeably better than your manual echo.

We've got an 09 auto sedan, and imo its far from gutless. I've had gutless cars in the past, and my stock 09 sedan is nothing like them in terms of power. It will get out of its own way, which is really all you can ask from such a car. Considering what I've experienced, I'm just glad it will even do that. Think back to how bad the 90's economy cars were, especially when they got some age on them. Those things were gutless. Often times instead of going any faster, they'd just make more engine noise. And then maybe start to barely increase in speed. Maybe.
