The "problem" with any turbo or SC option is that the forced induction will exploit any weakness that develops in the engine.
I have an aftermarket boost gauge on my car and I would hope all new turbo cars have them, too. Tells you what's going on in there.

Dream on.
Finance: "Only if you can add it to the car at no additional cost."
Engineering: "Done! It consists of 4 LEDs that mark 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, and full boost. It estimates based on how quick the RPMs build and not any actual data or new sensors because cost and, let's face it, consumers are stupid and only need idiot lights. And the lawyers said we couldn't let everyone feel that 'racy' so we buried it in the 5th level of the nav menu."

Good times.
0.05% of the people who drive BMWs (the ostensible "driver's car) understand a word of what I just said, let alone the rest of the driving public, who drive cheaper appliances. Yes, I'm a pi$$ed-off old man, but my TSX has well over 150K miles on it and is still fun to drive, even though it only displays fuel level, RPM and speed (along with about 17 lighted symbols that come on during startup, and hopefully go back off). At least I still have to drive (and shift) it.

I brought the C30 to valet parking at an upscale restaurant last week and had the same issue. They looked at that 3rd pedal and when right to the handheld radios--like they were calling a casualty into headquarters.
They did find someone though. A keeper of the flame. Young kid. He started the car up and turned to me and said "Oh, a hot rod, hah?"
(there's a sport muffler on it).

Anyway, my car was mid-block, sticking out in all its red glory. Every other car I could see was black, white, silver or gray, with the lone exception a tan beetle that lives across the street (and practically disappears in front of a tan brick house!)
People need to get more color in their lives.

Besides, you break me, you buy me.
The point is--are you driving or are you steering?
They are more relaxing in stop and go traffic though. Not that lightning quick gear changes matter much in that use!

Sure, paddle shifting makes sense on a track, since that's where the whole idea originated!
