Re: New member / Reliability w/ the 1.8T

[Elliott Potter <epotter@abraxis.com>]

Well I'm sure to get corrected on this one but I'll offer my take on it
anyway:

The 1.8T and the 2.8, besides the different engines and some other
working components, have different trim lines as well--the 2.8 is a
little softer and more expensive than the 1.8 (i.e. wood trim / carbon
fiber).  However, the 1.8T is much more tweakable than the 2.8, so it
depends on what he wants from the car--if he wants to have all kinds of
fun and pull 300+ horses, then he wants the 1.8T, but if he wants a
(slightly) nicer and quieter car, and will modify it little/none, go
with the 2.8.
Just my .02
