That's one thing that I always thought was cool about having a turbocharged car. I rarely go to the two areas you mentioned, but my family lives in Ventura County, so I'll always pass through the grade on the 101 between Camarillo and Newbury Park. I can go uphill without needing to downshift, as long as I'm keeping the rpms north of maybe 3200 rpm (which basically means I need to be going at least 70 mph). I remember when I had a Honda, drove my brother's Honda or my parents' E320 (which I did have for a few months when I was in college maybe ten years ago), I'd definitely need to drop a gear.
Yeah. I went up to Big Bear the easiest, though my boss in his 2012 BMW 550i (twin-turbo V-8) also had an easy drive. Everyone else who lagged behind just had NA cars that were likely losing steam.

I work in Irvine (WATG building across from the spectrum) and live by Fullerton. However, the car I'd be giving you a ride in isn't mine, and we'd need to be at a track to fully realize the benefits. Or a canyon. The grip is so ludicrously high that you can't push it at street legal speeds...
