I think thats a little unfair. At 500 bhp it would be blisteringly quick in a straight line and punch well above its weight.

As standard i agree they are slowish. My stg1 dreamscienced mk1 focus would beat one easy. The bluefin stg2 was much betetr and felt quick.

This 400 spec is more than quick enough for most people.

It's easy to be spoiled into thinking cars need to be quicker due to what you're used to.

I try to step back from that. I really feared for the life of my evo while in it
