That being said, i wouldn't mind if there was some more pull at 2500-4000
Yeah, the car is fast, you just have to rev it up to get to the power. It doesn't have the "power on tap" like a TTV6 or V8, but it's still got juice when you want it. Probably one of the reasons you can easily average 20mpg or better with city driving if you stay out of the power.
