Say what?????

The setup on the 2.4T is much LESS likely to display turbo lag than the T5. Automatic vs Automatic (2.4T vs T5) it's actually much easier (STC off) to light up the front skins on the 2.4T than it is the T5. Now as for the manual T5.... that's a completely different story all together. Vaporized rubber anyone??
