Low end Torque

What is the low end torque like on these cars. Like for instance do they have any grunt when starting up on a steep grade. say 7%? I'm considering this before I purchase one. Thanks css.net

i've never had any problems going up steep hills with the a/c cranking, even when i was in, say, third gear, when i should have taken the hill in second. even then the car will still accelerate if i want to.

I could write a book on driving up hills. Freaking West Virginia, its literally all mountains! Car handles it like a champ. Other cars I had to put in fourth but this car takes them in fifth with absolutely no problem, and full torques is at 2500 rpm.
