I have a non-turbo 16v 900 SE (2.3l) and, although it is quick overall, it certainly doesn't shine below 2500 rpm. Everyone else who's driven it says it's a car that you have to keep the revs up on. Even fairly modest cars will get away from the lights quicker but when it gets to 3000rpm it's a different story. Having said all that mine does always run hot, not according to the temperature guage, but the aux cooling fan is always on when I finish a run.
