I have a low pressure turbo a V-70 GLT. Theres a lot of torque at low RPM. Off the line acceleration is great, but once you get up the RPMs up, the performance becomes anemic by comparison. The 2.5T is probably the same way. Some say thay combination is perfect for all around drivability. I'd have to agree with that. The T5 is just the opposite. Anemic at low RPMs but once it starts breathing at high RPMs, its a rocket sled. If I could afford a T5 with a 6-speed manual I'd go for it.
