Apparently the newer turbo motor in my 2013 is a completely different design than the earlier cars and avoids some of the problems. It has lots of power and torque. Gearing is very low, 50 MPH at 2000 RPM in 6th.
It has all kinds of grip even in the wet - like a cat on carpet. It works fine in the snow with 3 season Pilot Sports - but if there is more than about 3" the air dam kicks the snow right over the hood.
The suspension is to stiff if anything - it does get upset by relatively minor bumps in corners.
My high pressure fuel pump is noisy but I have been told that is common for my car.

Project Binky probably had to much influence on me - I named her "Binky" (I never named a car before) and I say "Make the noise!" when I press the start button.
