And nothing much else apart from a nicer sound and heavier fuel bill. I MUCH prefer the 2.4 5 cylinder from a sensory point of view but, as the vast majority of the time that is of little importance, I would (and did) go for the 1.9. But, try them both and make up your own mind?? You may not be as tight fisted as me!! |

I could say I don't need better than that. But now it happened that I have 159 2.4 210 HP. It is my 7th AR, first diesel and I can only say: this is fantastic motor. Really fantastic! I can't tell much about differences because 1/2 hour with 1.9 is not enough and, to be honest, I don't remember details. In my opinion 2.4 is class above. After all it depends of your own needs and preferences. And money, of course. |
