My car has enough pick up to be safe. I was actually quite impressed with it, as I was expecting something much slower when I first looked at it. If you get one with a properly working turbo it should have enough power for your needs. It is a little sluggish at low RPM's, but not so bad I'd feel uncomfortable turning left in a busy place. On the highway it has good power and passing slower vehicles is no problem.
