I love mine too

and, along with everyone else, little if any vibration

for me, it was a combinatin of factors:

1) it's a compnay car, so the monthly payment wasn't a whole shed load more - just £25
2) having owned a non-turbo, non (easily) tuneable TT for the last 2 years, and seen all my smaller engined but turbo'd mates adding lots of horses for little £, didn't want to make that mistake again
3) at 20-30K miles per year (even if a lot of that is company mileage), less petrol stops is a good thing!
4) having driven the 1.8 on a 48hr test drive, and taking the 2.2 for a quick spin, I instantly fell in love with the power delivery


I did like the 1.8, and it sounds great - just preferred the 2.2
