Not too crazy about the strangled warbling sound of the four cylinder engine though. It’s decidedly uninspiring. But effective. Mid-range torque doesn’t feel remarkably off from most of the other vehicles at speed. And I’d argue from a standstill, probably more AUC for torque, which is pleasant.
Oh- did you already buy one? Also just realized that they bumped up the HP and Torque a little since the 2021 model that I drove...sounds like it may have made a difference
