Go with the 1.7! Edit - My flat-4 2.2L screams like a pissed off mother at higher revs, but it goes nowhere, haha. 135hp in a 3200lb car FTL. ---

[quote=“BikerFry,post:19,topic:32879"”] Yep, like I said with a little modding a 1.8T is faster. Also like I said, the 1.8T gets better gas mileage, although the VR6 isn’t bad. Also like I said, I prefer my VR6 because it moves well enough without any mods, I love the torque curve, and with just a cone filter I love the way it sounds. LOL I’ll post it again if you guys would like. Sound’s personal preference. Turbo or not, the only 4 cylinder I can stand the sound of is Subaru’s boxer engine. [/quote] cone filter = mod ---

do you plan on driving the car more than once a week? if so, i’d go with a KA swapped, caged, white, black top integra. if not, go with the 1.8T for cheap easy power. go with the VR6 if you want a completely over rated motor that sounds really nice with an intake at WOT. neither are the picture of reliability, so don’t even look into that as an aspect. ---

[quote=“K Cuv,post:8,topic:32879"”] lol. honestly. unless you are driving A LOT and can get a steal on a diesel car and can really save $ by the increased gas milage…i cant ever justify buying a VW. especially golfs…ew, :gay: [/quote] I own a golf.

Drive both. Then decide. If it were me I would go with a 1.8t for mpg and better aftermarket. …you may think differently./ ---

haha i know i cant make up my mind. if i had a slightly higher budget believe me gregs car would be mine. i like the interior and body styling on golfs, but the repair costs and reliability issues worry me. most likely going to grab another honda for the next couple years until i’m out of school and can afford somethin balllllller. damn i really want gregs car tho ---

Well now that it’s clear that you’re not interested in buying my car, yeah good call. VW’s are attention whores and the last thing you need to spend your time on when you’re in school is fixing your car. Good call on a Honduh. ---
