Take both for a test drive.
Although there is very little difference in engine capacity, they are like chalk and cheese in my opinion, more than what the figures would suggest.
The price gap also just got wider between these, as the 1.9 is not available in the Pacific like it was in the Comfortline.
For a new car you would be comparing a 1.9 Edition to a 2.0 Pacific so 4.6K difference ignoring options. There was a 2.5K difference between a 1.9 and 2.0 Comfortline (using list prices).
I’m assuming you’re referring to the 103kw 2.0, not the 125kw.

The biggest difference to me is that these are entirely different generation engines. The upside to the 1.9 is that the USA websites have more info on this engine, and it's longevity and history. PLENTY of Vag-com "tweaking" info, and basically a lot of amassed information.
The downside is it's quite a leap backwards in design. Personally I wouldn't even consider the older generation engine, unless you are after the maximum value in the car. It would have to be the most economical, and least powerful, to drive of the two.
But I suspect the test drive would best answer the question, so drive them both back to back and decide what you like.2014 Skoda Yeti TDI Outdoor 4x4 | Audi Q3 CFGC repower | Darkside tune and Race Cams | Darkside dump pDPF | Wagner Comp IC | Snow Water Meth | Bilstein B6 H&R springs | Rays Homura 2x7 18 x 8" 255 Potenza Sports | Golf R subframe | Superpro sways and bushings | 034 engine mounts | MK6 GTI brakes |

I actually thought that in the 125 the DSG was more economical than the manual.
seems to have changed since the pacific and edition came out. either way, if i was actually getting 6.6 id be very happy. more like 7.4 at the mo on average.Last edited by STV4SYT; 05-06-2008, 04:48 PM.currrently... MY10 GTI | DSG | Candy White | Sunroof | 18's | BT | MDI
