    The funny thing about that snippet is... it's written about the Gen 4 or earlier clearly, and if I drive my Gen 4 aggressively with similar expectations to my old Mk4 Golf TDI - put the right foot down, get a little bit of power, wait a moment for the turbo (in the Golf)/engine (in the Prius) to spool up, and then you get the power you expect - I get similar results.

    Same here ... unless it's one of those rare, once a year or every other year cannon ball run ¾ of the way, across the USA.
