Default Consider a 2.5T

As title. The light pressure turbo could possibly be a 3rd alternative.. I drove a one many years ago and was impressed at the low speed grunt. Ultimately the T5 IS quicker, but initial pickup of the 2.5T is equal too to a T5.
You need to check for FULL leather option as the T5 is std leather, as does the AWD R
Additionally the 2.5T is also available as a 2007 on P3 with either 200BHP or for one yearish 227ish BHP, either can be polestarred to 250 BHP, very close to T5 power - something I did consider but decided to keep the R esp after all the work that it had under gone.

Cheers
Bob
