i highly recommend going to the dealer and test driving one. it will suprise you. its a different kind of torque/hp. once the motor gets to its top rpm it is relentless. if you can really shift, it blows the tires clean off in the first 2 shifts. the sound deadening in the car is world class. very quiet car. very solid. very little body roll. never harsh but it easily outhandles anything i have driven. turn the traction control off to really enjoy it. there is no skip shift in mine at all. even granny shifting was normal.
the turbo car will catch this car on top end, buy it will have to catch it.
