It does not look and feel smallish in the highway at all. And when she starts to reach highway speeds, the power feels like you're driving a bigger car. As for the turbo, as long as the owner is aware of the cool-down method especially when coming from the highway or going uphill in parking garages, it will last you the car's ownership life. Those complaints with the turbo started with taxis in the previous gen and your guess is as good as mine on how taxi drivers drive their units and their knowledge on diesels are only for natually aspirated mechanical indirect injected ones. The private owners whom I personally know did not have any issues with the turbo. Same with me, I sold my previous gen crdi at almost 70k kms. Its engine and turbo ran like it was during its lower mileage times. Correct approach on maintenance and usage lang.
My gripe about the current gen accent diesel (whether hatch or sedan) is the seat comfort at tbe back row since it's too upright for me and the seat is too low, like near the floorboard.

I use Zic X7 10w40 fully synthetic oil. It's just a little over 1k for a 6L jug. I still change it every 5k kms. Very affordable oil pero maganda yung quality.
