I'm in the market for a 2000-2002 Jetta or GTI (Pending selling my truck..it's conditional, yay!) and currently have my eye set on a 2000 GTI GLX VR6 or a 2001 Wolfsburg Jetta 1.8T. I've been trying to get some research done.
Does anybody know the stock Engine specs for the 1.8T and the 2.8 VR6 for the 2000-2002 models? (Torque and HP). I've had a chance to drive the 1.8T but not yet the VR6. I would expect the VR6 too be a little more powerful off the line (no turbo lag?) but how do they really compare?
I've been torn between the two engines for a little while (the GTI and the jetta too..) and have heard that in regards to mileage the VR6 is a heavier consumer (to be expected). Does anyone know by how much? With the gas price differences for premium vs. regular would the cost be negligible? The Canadian government fuel ratings website is showing the following:

Which seems to indicate that the average user is not going to notice the difference. Can anybody attest to this?
