Nobody is arguing that a turbo car doesn't have lag but its a question of getting used to and modifying you driving style. At the end of the day, every car has a signature power band.
Besides, how much power does a person need to crawl in Bangalore's traffic??? |
thats the exact point.. the turbo lag has been the hottest debate about magnum
the feeling of "the serious lack of power" also seems large due to the colossal torque wave which happens in no time, (talking about theory of Relativity.. Einstien talking here
) Relatively the lag seems even more large, now c'mon guys thats the way this car is and one got to accept it that its more enjoyable driving it that way(atleast until the petes comes out
.. lets see what happens after that), BTW i remember Shuv's post mentioning about how exactly one should enjoy this superb car and its engine of course
i drive both petrol as well diesels quite often , but IMHO i find the raw power of a diesel much more exciting and playful than its petrol siblings [or may be i have'nt driven better petrol cars]
btw guys do continue this discussion.. seems interesting
P.S. Cedia is one of the best handlers available in India (or should i say it is the best), atleast under sub 25 lacs category AFAIK
