The 2. vw engines go. It requires a lot less maintenance than say a 1. T or a vr6. The 1. T engine offers better fuel economy and lower maintenance costs, making it ideal for daily commutes and long highway drives. The 2. T engine delivers higher horsepower and torque, providing a sportier driving experience and quicker acceleration.Well, obviously the 2. Golf 1. TDI’s 120hp, quite a bit more so. Lots more torque too, which makes driving much more effortless.
