Well, looking at your previous line of up vehicles, like me you're going to be seriously disappointed with the torque. HOWEVER...after the initial shock you really will NOT care about the missing torque. The engine revs high and loves to be done so. The sound coming from behind you of the revving engine, sounds like what I only could assume the sound of gods discussing fine cigars in an aggressive manner would be. There is just such a distinction to the drive, feel, and presence of he car. Every day I have driven it I have received complements. A gentleman even rolled his window down at a stop light to take a photo of it. The dynamics are flawless in the way it handles the road. The clutch and shift throw left little to be desired, however I plan to install a more notchy and shorter shift kit. The steering is pleasantly heavy and direct. For as small as it is, it has plenty of room for you, a passenger, and some luggage. Weighing in at just over 2000 pounds its more nimble than a pixies thimble. My only complaints are the terrible head unit and speakers. My car has the sound plus package, which is a step down from the Bose, and it's terrible! From what I've read on the P car forums even the Bose systems is bad. I can't even imagine how bad the base stereo system is. Overall it is truly a dream machine. I love it. I've never felt such a connection so quickly to a vehicle. In the two years I owned the 135i I never even developed a real love of the car. I think Porsche, and most Porsche owners know exactly what I'm talking about when I say no other car can make me feel the way a Porsche can. There is a reason that Porsche has so many followers and devoted enthusiast. I feel so blessed and fortunate to say I understand what all the hype is about. It's the real deal man, and I hope you get yourself one very soon.
