I agree with this. I've driven the turbo-4 718 and it's an excellent car. People complain mostly because it doesn't have the same sound as the naturally aspirated 6-cylinder engine, but to me the 4-cylinder sounds really good. Plus the low end torque is simply fantastic. If I were buying one tomorrow, I'd definitely get a manual transmission turbo 4 cylinder 718.
