 The 2.0T knocks the socks off most V6's.Off the line and anywhere in the RPM curve.The 8 speed transmission is a huge part of this performance, but I love every sound this car makes and driving it is a pure pleasure.Highway miles are exactly as promised at 27mpg, and road noise is minimal.Go for the 2.0T and never look back.The panoramic sun roof is amazing and rolling over uneven pavement provokes zero body noises.This is a solid car.
