unless you upgrade the turbo and put some money in them they are slow.

If you plan on just putting in little upgrades like chip and intake and exhaust go with the vr6...it will be faster than the 1.8t and more reliable.
The 1.8t's are good cars IF you plan on making a racer for cheap (cheaper than a vr6).
but if you want a daily driver that has balls the vr6 is the way to go.




No offence to 1.8t drivers.

Like vwjet03 said...your going to have vr6 drivers and 1.8t drivers saying theirs are better.
just go out and drive both and then decide.

Mmmhmm, a little turbo the size of my fist has outrageous turbo lag...

Weight is of course NEVER an issue with cars

It's not like for close to or a little bit more than 1000$ you can get an incredible amount of power for the dollarout of a 1.8t...chip...turboback...diverter valve...

That being said 1.8T's are too common for the mods...what I said just above here is usually what most 1.8T's do + a few other bolt on's, if you really wanna stick money into a car a VR6 is the way to go.
