How did yours perform in those mountain roads?
I performed great! The high altitude was no problem thanks to the turbo, and while as I said, it's no sport bike or anything, but for what it is, I don't think there is another small SUV that can come close to the way it handles. I passed a couple of slow cars on the two lane highway with no fear, it just sucked them in and blew past. It was at least as much fun as my GTI in the twisties, but a bit plusher when your just cruising. It rolls along at 80 at a leisurely 2000 R.P.M. or so
