Actually, IMO the 4 cyl has tons of passing power. 4 cyl usually make their torque in the higher RPMs' and it does a damn good job on the freeway. Customers mainly complain about the starting acceleration. But never the passing acceleration.

Correct, in the V6 (XR) trim only. The 4cyl does have EPS.
