I have a 2017 Liminted PP, I would NOT call this car under powered.

The manual 17s have a lower ratio rear end, which helps add some torque to the car.
Its much better than the auto I drove, which does not have the changed rear end.

As others have said, its NOT a straight line drag race car. Not that it wont get up and go, but its just not about that.
On the highway its fine. Even here in WV where the highway has huge hills, I can maintain 70+mph easily staying in 6th.
Getting on a steep uphill onramp, meh, sure, could use a bit more power to be even more fun.

BUT.... where this car shines, and was built for, the TWISTIES.
It is an absolute dream. And never feels under powered at all. Keep it in the upper rpms when driving spirited, and it will whip your through the turns at a very fun rate.

If you want, throw you in the seat, burnout power all the time, this is not the car for you.
If you want to HANG turns, feel one with the car, and experience great handling and balance, this is the car for you.
