This car does not drive as good as it looks. There seems to be a lot of pulling to either side. The turbo can be peppy, but there is a random lag in power that I was told is normal? I expected a better driving experience because of their reputation. I think that being part of Ford Motor Co. and sharing parts with Ford Focus & Mazda 3 may have something to do with it's lack of quality. I regret the purchase.
