As someone who drives a whole bunch of fleet cars. This car is not a slow one in the grand scheme of things on public roads. For a 2-door coupe built today, fine its on the low end as far as power where only basic coupes like Civics and Fortes are slower while being on par with Civic Si or the Camaro V6 convertible and slightly slower than today's MX-5, V6 Mustang, etc. Throw in your normal stuff like 4-cylinder CUVs, most minivans, regular family sedans and this car is no longer slow.
If you truly want to experience the realm of the very slow cars you're going to have to pick stuff that makes our cars seem like it has a supercar. This would be things like the Dodge Magnum 2.7L V6, yes this V6 is too weak for its application and not helping is the Magnum's heavy weight making it somewhere in the 12 second range as far as 0-60. VW Jetta with the seriously out of date 8V 2.0L, that too is as slow as that Magnum. As for the slowest thing made today...Mitsubishi Mirage, another 12 second car...although I think this feels even slower than the weak Jetta or Magnum, although it could be that 3-cylinder making it seem like its about to explode.
