I think people expect more out of it because of how it looks. It LOOKS like it should be doing 0-60 in 5 seconds. It LOOKS like it should do low 13s in the 1/4 mile. It does mid 6s to 60 and high 14s in the 1/4.

Plus, many FWD econoboxes out-accelerate us as well. Everything from sporty hatches to mid-sized sedans, minivans, and pickups. It's just not very quick in today's world.

All that being said, I still wouldn't trade this for anything else currently on the market. The only things I would buy over this cost significantly more.
