My 2000 Accord sedan had a 2.3 engine and it wasn't any more peppy than my Yaris is. It's mostly about basic horsepower-to-weight ratio, and most automakers give their 'non-performance commuter models' just enough horsepower to hit a certain ratio threshold versus its curb weight - whether you are talking about a 3000 pound car with 150 horsepower or a 2000 pound car with 100 horsepower.
