I agree, I have seen several complaints for both the 6 cyl, but especially the 4 cyl, about lack of passing power. I wonder if these reviewers even drove the vehicle. The 4 cyl when fully loaded has no problem jumping up to 80 mph to pass a vehicle. As you say, they are too used to having 260 hp V6 cars that will throw them back in their seat when the step on the pedal to pass. Either that they are trying to pass at 100 mph.
