There are many great driver's cars that are turbo'd tbf, but they can't equal the responsiveness of a naturally aspirated engine.

When it comes to a point in car manufacturing that they have to pipe fake engine noises into the cabin as the engines sound so fucking shit you know its all downhill.

Oh dear, not a fan of the look at all... Nor the engine sounds, nor the gearbox in Fappey paddle only, nor the 5 door... I'm sure it'll handle great but. No wont be going anywhere near that me thinks. Nissan Turbo engine is the best thing it's got going for it IMO

its worse than that, the sounds are completely synthetic. I believe there is the ability to have an F1 sound

Blame eu laws, not car manufacturers.
Do you really think they want to spend more than they already do, just to have a nice quiet car on the outside?
