At 118 hp i was dissapointed but not overly so, at “CVT” i projectile vomited.

A 1.5 Turbo with 118 horsepower. That’s less specific output than most NA engines these days. Like, I’ve driven a current-gen Honda Fit with a 1.5-liter NA motor that makes 130 horsepower.
Like, what?

The torque curve is probably higher and flatter on the turbo 1.5 than the N/A 1.5.
But the N/A 1.5 will actually be inclined to rev out, thus producing more power at the very top.
