That's a good point, but I wanted 300+ HP and have solar panels on my roof so I pay nothing when I run in EV. Still on the dealer's tank of gas, 450h+ made sense for me.

Still “0” off w/1fob?

That's funny, as I got the same comment from Freds in December, and gave the same answer (and I forgot to mention that I also charge for free at work)

I assume with the 350 you're going to experience some turbo lag. I haven't driven one. But every 4 cylinder turbo I've driven has turbo lag that is very evident.

RS has no turbo lag; twin scroll is the answer. The 350 turbo has lag and not really much power especially when compared to a Macan S

YMMV,

Twin scroll or twin turbo? I had a 328i with N20 which has twin scroll and I could definitely feel turbo lag in that. Wasn't bad, but still noticeable if you prefer NA engines.

No it is twin scroll, turbo comes on about 1,800 rpm. Turbo lag is not noticeable with 23.2 psi boost and low first gear. 350 Hp/350 ft lbs torque. 2.3 engine size
, . rated at 4.5 seconds 0 to 60 mph. Fun sports car/ gymkhana, rally car ; very stiff ride two adjustments stiff and track. still rate at combined 26 mpg.

YMMV,

NX... RX....RDX.... Macan S.... all three totally different vehicles not to be compared. The best one is the one the buyer selects. Might as well included the Audi and BMW.... All are 100% different as for feel, speed, options, features, size.
