Do NOT get the 1.8L and preferably not the 2.0L either. They have A/C
software issues - until that's fixed - no A/C at anything above 30%
throttle. Stick with the 2.4L. Mileage is actually better with that engine
anyway (no, it's not the old 2.4L...it's the "New World" engine).

So far, the CVT has been VERY reliable as well.

Ok, Mike, do tell. Compare it to, say, your jetta, if you would. Aside
from the obvious gas vs diesel thing, how did it perform? What did you
like about it? What didn't you like?
