Okay, I drove the 2.0T; and its a sweet car! The one I had to repair the hood on, was a premium model, leather, steering wheel controls, 18" wheels; and priced at $27,495. Deduct lots for U.S. dollars, lol. Anyway its rated at only 210 hp(say 2g?), but is very strong and was easy to drift well into 2nd gear once I deactivated esp. The ride was smooth for 18's, not too much wheel gap, and body roll was at a minimum. Guages could have been a little nicer looking, and no boost guage was crap; but overal not bad interior. But by far the best is with a north/south engine placement, the turbo and manifold are out in the open and would be easy to work on. I didn't get specs on the turbo, but looks decent sized. Probably just needs a 3" ex, ported turbo, and flash to make some good #'s. If I was in the mkt for a new car, I definitly would consider this!
