Volvo does it, so it is ok.

I get better fuel economy when I drive cars with more horsepower than my shitbox because I don't have to beat the shit out of them nearly as hard to keep up with traffic.

Don't forget Highlander and its rebadged version Lexus NX.

wtf. Who will buy an overpriced chink 4 bangers?

This is what happens when white women become corporate executives

This. I have to rev the shit out of my 150hp 4banger just to keep up with modern cars. It sucks when I'm babying the cold engine and short shifting at 3000rpms when everyone behind me is losing their minds at just how fucking slow I am.

Well to be fair, its got the GTI engine, or at least VW says its "similar".

2.0t has 235 HP/ 258 ft/lbs and this is the base engine.

That being said, you can expect it to dyno higher like the GTI. The 2.0t in the GTI dynos 250-260 crank HP and nearly 300 ft/lbs crank. Not sure if that will hold true here.

V6 has 276hp /266 ft/lbs but is honestly better suited for the job, I imagine it would be hard to stay off the boost in the i4.

Only real advantage would be the possibility of a tune for the 2.0t (APR, cobb, etc...) If it could get the same tunes as the GTI it wouldn't be half bad with the 316 HP stage 1.

They all have 8 gear autos so will stay in the power band better than most.
