My 300D turbo may be on the slower side when accelerating, but in no way does it pose a safety risk. Once up on a highway the revs creep up high enough for the turbo to make a difference. It has plenty of power above 30 mph.

Diesels rule on the highway. How else can a 4000 pound car get 25-30 mpg?

Oh another thing, with a diesel you can smoke tailgaters. You just floor it for 5 seconds. With a little luck out comes some half burned fuel. Suck on my soot pushy driver.
