You're right maybe struggles is the wrong choice word. It feels like it tops out after 100 or so. I can't imagine that car going faster than 120MPH. The engine is just screaming at that point. Are you sure your were going that fast? I love passing when going over 60MPH, when the turbo spools up, the thing just accelerates like crazy. It is a very fun car.
I was going to test drive 3 cars when I was looking for a new car 9 years ago. The Mini, the GTI and the Civic SI. I never made it past the Mini dealership. after a test drive, I ordered my JCW online the next day. If the tight suspension is an indicator, this will be a fun car. I can't wait until it gets here.
