This is the problem.

One of the most striking things about this car is that it's quiet to the 
point that you can barely tell whether the engine is actually running at 
all.

 From what I've seen, if a car has turbo, it constantly makes that 
annoying whistling sound. Also, if you floor it, nothing happens for 4 
seconds, and *then* it takes off like a rocket.

Neither of these things appear to be the case with my car. (Not that 
I've actually tried driving it fast. I'm too busy constantly changing 
gears to concentrate on the road...)
