It only has 138 HP and 145 lbs ft of torque. Not nearly enough in a 3200 pound car. It's a 23.2:1 power to weight ratio. Not enough. Can't imagine it on a trip with 2 kayaks on the roof, my bike on the back, hoping to pass someone on a long hill. And the fuel economy is barely any better than my wife gets in her '03 9-5 Linear wagon which is a bigger car.
A car doesn't have to be super fast or pull 1.0G in a corner, but it has to be able to get out of its own way on the highway.
Not something I'd want to make payments on.
