3.3T in Brooklyn NY?

[Sewy1203]

Any reason to go for the 3.3T in brookyn, we got cameras all over that send you tickets if you go over 30MPH and bumper to bumper traffic 90% of the time.
How bad is the 2.0? Everyone says get the 3.3T that's all I hear.

I actually went the other way around... and I live in TX, where the speed limit is 80. Ha ha. The 2.0T actually feels torquier than the 3.3T in normal driving, so no such feeling. I used to own all kinds of fast cars, including a GTR, Porsche, etc., but not anymore. The reality is these little engines provide all the performance you need. They even accelerate briskly when doing 100, and without having to downshift at all, so no need for more. I returned my 3.3T because of an engine defect, but didn't want another one due to the exhaust valves not having a way to turn them off. The mechanical noise of a V6 is nice, but not the exhaust (by a long shot), and it was droning a little even in normal mode and easy throttle (and the fake engine noise thru the speakers turned off), and it was worse in sport (which I use all the time), so no thank you. Very happy with the 2.0T, especially the much better fuel mileage with gas prices what they are. But drive both if you can, to decide for yourself. Hope this helps.

That's a question only you can answer for yourself. Everybody has different expectations. A lot depends on what you are used to and how you typically drive. Since your first question is "How bad is the 2.0?"... maybe you should get the 3.3T to avoid disappointment.

Brooklyn sounds a lot like some European cities, lol. FWIW, 3.3T is not even offered there. Just 2.0T GDI and the 2.2T Diesel.
