Ok, I think few of us have much to complain about with the Allroad's handling and acceleration when the car has the driver and and maybe one passenger in it, but how about 4 passengers and some luggage, for instance? Anyone find the Allroad's performance lagging? Too much weight for that engine?

A month or so back, I did a several hundred mile road trip with four people and lots of gear from Denver to Salt Lake (via the mountain passes on I70). I didn't have any complaints about power even over the passes.

I posted in another thread that we had three adults and the entire back filled with luggage and loaded cooler over a 250 mile trip and it rode as nice and as powerful as if I had one person. The only time I felt a bit heavy was on first movement from a stop, but once the turbo kicks in, it feels as every bit powerful and the suspension seems to compensate for the additional weight. Steering and feel of the road felt just as good too. But hey, maybe I'm still in the honeymoon stage??
