I think turbos are great, a "passing gear", power when you need it, why WOULDNT you want a car with a turbo. The reason I don't want one is I wanted a car that I could FIX myself and a turbo means climate control, automatic tranny, power everything, plus a turbo engine is allot more expensive to overhaul. I would take a turbo in a hot second if I didn't have to have all the power stuff or if I ever become good enough (or rich enough) to fix all the "power items" when they crap out.
