    How was power delivery at high elevation? Car does look sharp in the rugged scenery.

    The transmission is tuned to shift early to preserve fuel economy. So on steep climbs you have to use the paddle shifters and keep it in a lower gear. Then it climbs well, given the road had a lot of hairpin turns and you can't go very fast anyway. The turbo helps a lot so the power drop off isn't significant.
