[QUOTE="yacob.naif, post: 1622010, member: 565696"] You can't go wrong with either! I'm a VW fan, but those VTEC engines are nasty! Throw some webber sidedrafts on that thing and the sound alone would be worth having the car! Those new 2.0t's are awesome awesome engines, tho. The torque is so unnatural, yet amazingly driveable. It's like having a diesel that can rev to 6k. They're also underrated from the factory. Most of them put down 200-210hp to the wheels right out of the box, so estimated 220-225hp brake from the factory. And if aftermarket support is anywhere near with the 1.8t's, there'll be some 4-500hp 2.0t's soon. In all fairness, tho, there's a reason cars don't come with aftermarket parts from the factory, as soon as you start modding either car, you're gonna get marginally fewer miles out of the engine before rebuild, and you're going to have more problems. So if you need the car to last a while, i'd go with whichever you like driving more without mods. Don't choose based on them. [/QUOTE]
