I keep lurking in these turbo threads but never chat much. My car has the same crutch as the rest of the cars at 4700ft above sea level as the rest, and a slight advantage over all the NA's but I still want more. Obviously ;>
I don't want to manage extra fuel, I would prefer to keep my exhaust as quiet as possible (is only a down-pipe required for a hybrid?), and retain the same usability. It's my daily fun car, period. If it ever goes to track, it will be auto-x and once a year tops.
Back on topic regarding the MRX, it appears to lose some of the low end boost stockers are used to but not nearly as much as non-hybrids. If any of you recent experience, or even future planned experience.. please chime in and let us know your thoughts on the low end of the driving range as well.
Being able to hold 6th on some of the wicked grades we have out here is nice when just cruising.
