Interesting - why would you take the much weaker 2litre diesel (especially at higher speeds) over the 2.7? Is it just fuel economy? Plenty of reviewers so far have stated that it lacks punch, especially at highway speeds. Add 700kg on board and you would really know what you're missing!
I don't understand what advantage the 2litre would have. Comparing it with the hypothetical 2.7tt option, the positives of the 2litre certainly don't outweigh it's shortcomings. Can you explain why you would prefer it?

Engine responds very well to mods, but auto gearbox can become unsettled trying to cope with the extra torque. Good fuel economy overall: 9-12L/100km city, 8L/100 country.
