Get caught in the wrong gear and theres a big delay before the turbo comes in, even though power is supposed to be from 1800rpm. I was on a back road and slowed down to 30 fro some bikes, I changed to third and nothing happened! Changed to second and nearly got thrown in to the back of my seat! Handling isn't the best either, like a blomange.
