It's a wonderful engine for sure, but I wasn't impressed with it when test driving. It is pretty slow off the line and really only starts to come into its own as boost builds. That paired with a transmission that's not super quick, makes it a strange experience. I would not want to daily drive it (traffic, etc) since it feels gutless in the low rpm. But if I had a commute that was less congested, I would love to have a vehicle with the 5cyl.
