The feel is almost similar to the old Japanese turbo car but softer (without the turbo jerk) but way better. its like an advance version of the jap cars. The fuel efficiency is also a lot better than the v6 even with hard driving. Being a bit old school, I miss the engine aesthetic of the 6 pot, the engine sound, the gear change feel but in the same time i am enjoying the swift response, the acceleration and the great fuel efficiency. I guess sooner or later all cars are going the small size engine (even f1 are going 1.6 turbo soon I heard) and will need to accept the fact that this is the direction all manufacturer are going (unless you have the dough to go V6/V8/v12)</blockquote>
