VW trannies do suck... i know i own one. VR6's are damn good motors but if i had to choose i would take the 1.8T. A heck of a lot lighter and has just as much potential as the VR6.

I find that hard too belive could you post a link too where you found that, or what issue it was tested in?


It was a Car&Driver comparison test; I can't remember which issue. Lemme try to dig it up in their online archives...

Okay, I was off: 6.5 seconds. http://www.caranddriver.com/article.asp?section_id=15&article_id=2361&page_number=2
