I traded last June my accord 2000 for a 2004 Passat 1.8t manual. The passat is fun to drive. That small engine pull like a v6. However I found the engine induce severe vibration (couple hundred hertz) in steering wheel at 100 km/h. When I turn off the engine at 100km/h these vibrations disappear !
Dealer call this normal road vibration. I strongly disagree ! I never had a
4 cyl engine doing this. It is not acceptable !
