The one I drove last night was the 2.0L. Top Premier trim with all the options accept for a sunroof (which I don't want) and it turns out AWD (which I did want) The extra acceleration from the 2.0L (250 hp) is quite noticeable over the 1.5L (170 hp) and the MPG hit is reportedly pretty small. The 2.0L will also run on 87 octane although 91 octane is recommended for maximum performance.

I've mostly driven the 1.5L as rentals in a LT trim level (both FWD and AWD versions)
