Of course cannot lar.... passat is turbo charged lar..
If compared with K5 2.0 Turbo, then can lar, but that is on GDI engine - from most youtube videos Dunno whether there's 2.0 Turbo Nu engine for K5 or not. QUOTE(Boy96 @ Nov 2 2012, 11:39 AM) The 'Nu' engine can be compared to VW 1.8 TSi found in the Passat? |

Hi all,
If you are keen to read more about the Nu Engine, check out the link below: http://leopauldelrosario.blogspot.com/2012...fective-on.html To all K5 owners, Does your K5 center console (aircond knobs) comes with wood trim exactly like the door control panel? Cheers |

i'm considering to get the K5. Currently driving a Civic 1.8 and my fuel consumption is aroun 20cents/liter. how's the fuel consumption like for the K5? worse or better?
what is bugging my mind now is just the fuel consumption, service and after market price.. can anyone sort this out for me? |
