The moment everyone but me has been waiting for is finally here...
My take? I know it ain't cool. Probably pretty uncool. However, I'm bumping it to Meh because 1. it's definitely cooler than most FWD compacts because available V6 and 2. to give it a head start on the inevitable flood of people who will call it SU just because I've said the V6 makes it better than other compacts.
Also note that the V6 was faster than the turbo 4 due to better low end. Also the turbo did not have an intercooler.
