It is actually better for the autobahn cruising as well, lower pickup is great in these cars which makes it much better to drive rather than having to shift down to get that power. Dont the auto bahn plenty of times and the way these pickup to go faster is great.

I think it was mentioned earlier but has your car been mapped? the standard T5 power you get bored of quite easily but if you are after more top end all your problems would be solved with a simple map, this will completly change the car.
