While that 2.3L turbo is quite fun, it is by no means necessary. I've driven my uncle's S60 turbo on many occasions and it is a very quick car. Then, I'd jump into my 55 hp 1.0L Metro, not the fancy 1.3L, and get around without any issues. It probably sounds dumb to a lot of people, but the car is not slow. I've never had issues getting up to speed by the end of an on-ramp. I've also never felt 'unsafe' due to not having that extra horsepower. If you don't have enough power, downshift... its not hard.
Take the car for a test drive and make sure you hit an on-ramp or two so you can get a feel for it. I can pretty much guarantee that if you floor it you'll be well over the speed limit by the time you need to merge. So, why would you need more power (besides for fun which really isn't a 'need')?
