Speed and acceleration are part of it. More importantly, the turbo engines are quieter plus they are beefier (especially T5), and labor less with heavy loads (passengers, gear, etc.). Don't know about the GLT, but the T5's come with heavier duty suspension and brakes, too. Today's turbos rarely fail if properly maintained so dependability issue isn't a real issue anymore.
