Have driven both, both manuals,

2.4 a bit punchier off the line and through the rev range up till about 4000rpm,

can benefit from a tune.

2.0 can match the 2.4 with a few mods (exhaust and intake) and a tune

id still go the 2.4 though

Oh goodie. I'm asking because if there's no significant difference between a 2.0 and a 2.4L was just considering getting the LX. But yeah I would rather have a 2.4L

Yes true. But I'm just curious because if there is not much of a difference, i might as well go for an LX or something and mod it up from there. But I might as well go for VRX. Even though it's a tad more powerful.

Watch out mate. I do not think that the 10 year power train warranty is transferable.
I believe its first buyer only.
