Just test drove the 520 on the weekend. I have to say the start stop thing is really annoying.. how much gas you can save I wonder and how much more you need to dish out to get your starter fix every few years.
City driving wise is comparable with the 523, the power is quite smooth for a turbo car. But when you hit 4-5000 rpm I then realize I prefer the sound of the I6 on my car. There's no replacement for displacement as they say.
The car hit 120 in a hurry but kind of taper off at around 140 but the I6 still goes at 140. For folks who don't drive in those speed range or rev their engine that high. 520 is not a bad replacement, but I did not regret getting the 523 for a bit more.
