It's weird hearing somebody complain that a car that does 0-60 in under 6 seconds (faster than any Saab by the way) had a disappointing lack of "turbo rush" and doesn't have "awesome pickup". It's a 2.0l engine putting out 227 hp in a $24,000 car. You were expecting it to have no turbo lag? Every review I've read is pretty clear that it's a mundane engine below 3,000 rpm or so. But it must go nuts when the full boost kicks in to launch it to 60 in 5.7-5.8. And you don't mention the handling at all. Again every review I've read says this thing is nothing short of incredible in the corners.
