Turbocharged engines are a game-changer for Albuquerque drivers dealing with high elevation and scorching summers. If you’ve ever felt your car lagging on I-40 or crawling up Tramway, it’s not just your imagination—thin air and extreme heat zap power from many vehicles, especially those with smaller, naturally aspirated engines. Models like the Subaru WRX, with its turbo, handle these conditions much better, keeping performance strong even when the air gets thin and temps soar. On the flip side, older or less advanced cars can overheat or lose serious pep. What’s your experience—has your car struggled or surprised you in Albuquerque’s unique climate? #Transportation #Albuquerque #CarTalk
