I think it has plenty of torque, and I love the mid-range power when tooling around. Of course, it's still not a lot compared to the massive mid-range push of a big turbocharged engine. But as you say, you don't miss that very much when screaming past 8000 RPM.

1. The cooling fan really ramps up on a hot day once you shut the vehicle off. I assume this has something to do with cooling the turbo.
2. The relays clicking are very common. What they do... no clue.
3. The exhaust has a decent rumble. Even stomping on the gas gives a decent sound out the back.

Nice choice on with the steel wheels, they look great
