On Turbo

Turbo cars have serious advantages like high efficiency and low CO₂ emissions. They changed the driving feel from the moment they appeared. A traumatic era began for petrolheads. This trauma carries the word “last” within it. We've heard “the last naturally aspirated…” for every brand. Yes, naturally aspirated cars aren't made anymore. Turbo is the winner of this game. Not for me, of course.

The turbo, which works wonders for the average user in a daily driver car, isn't quite so miraculous for those seeking a pure driving feel. In fact, it's a nuisance, they're everywhere. Let this bias go on as it is; there are also driver's cars that turbo suits very well. Like the Ferrari F40. Like the BMW 1 Series (E87) M Coupe. These are sharp blades and need to be handled well.

Finally, whether naturally aspirated or turbocharged, I think what matters is whether the car forms a bond with you and stays in contact with you. So there's no winner in this. Wishing you happy driving...
