5.0 vs 5.8 sec. Crucial in today's grid-based stoplight-to-stoplight urban grid system  . Meanwhile this is what it looks like where I drive; 0-5 mph is more important...

We don't all live in the smog
Out here in hilly Lincolnshire there are some decent roads.
I work in London a lot though. If I lived there, I would not bother with a car. I'd go find other outlets for whatever it is that makes me care about having a nice car.
All performance is a nonsense if you look at it with sensible specs on. We might as well all drive practical estate cars with 1l 3 cylinder engines. But... does a car that can hit 60 in 5 seconds feel nicer in my hands than one that takes 7 seconds? Yes, yes it does.
