AUDM vs USDM K24 in Euro

[Fredoops]

Jetta vs CU2... it all depends on what aspects you compare them at.

One aspect I find, VW Golf (118tsi and GTI) vs CU2, driving both on the same road / twist at the same speed, CU2 feels faster yet the Golf feels slow.

Handling.. it depends on which Jetta you are comparing it to, if you compare CU2 to Jetta with sports suspension, no doubt CU2 has much more body roll on hard cornering.

Torque... the 2.4L CU2 has much less torque to weight ratio compared to VW 1.4L 118TSI.

Luxury... German cars are marketed with often 10+ options which can bump up the price of the car by 30-50%.

The CU2 is a nice car, perfect for its intended design and function, comfy and quiet ride.. to the point i often feel sleepy driving it

Only thing tho, the VW DSG makes the Euro Auto feel...ancient, and the fuel consumption is not comparable... 1.4 TSI is just amazing. I'd rather compare CU2 with the Skoda Octavia (which is bascially a Jetta without the options).

STILL the base model euro is a VERY good buy. It's the Lux and Lux Navi thats getting squeezed by VWs (and not the jetta, rather the Passat/Superb, which is only $2000 more, the price difference will pay for it self in fuel savings 2 years if you do city driving)

Maybe they say to use 95 to cover there a#% from people f$&*ing there euros by using e10 as 91 is very rare nowdays

Euro is 10% ethanol tolerant, TSX is probably E15 tolerant, considering the size of bioethanol industry in the mid-east of the USA
