Folks - i've seen an 04 2.5T for sale nearby. I'm reasonably tempted as the price is right. I was just wondering whether anyone on here owns or has tried one. Any comments about performance etc? I'd be interested in hearing how they compare with a T5. Ta Kev.
Returning from the dark side ? :Handshake User 'Baj' has a 2.4T I think (with a T5 badge on it...wtf). He might shed some light on it, but I don't know if he's had a T5 to compare it to.

So i'm looking to maybe make a sideways step with little outlay. I've read the 2.5T is a different kettle of fish to the 2.4T in terms of power delivery?
