I agree. People who buy into the "Eco" part of "ecoboost" are fooling themselves into thinking that they will get V8 power AND V6 fuel economy. Its the same trick they pull in the ads, they tell you both the best EPA mileage figures and the best available horsepower figures, or payload or towing, etc but its only in…
Considering the whole purpose of dropping the engine size by 30% was to pick up mileage, then yeah, that sucks a lot. I'll put the blame on the turbo being too eager to kick in boost at lighter throttle angles and lower load.

Your differential life may vary as well...usually not a great idea to do that with a production AWD transmission/drivetrain.
my audi a4 quattro and its 1.8t and 170hp really sucks now.
Here it is at a different auction before paint:
This 14-year old car makes the current Toyobaru twins obsolete.
