Drive both years and you tell me what you think. I already know the answer.

I have owned both and also felt like my 2008 pulled harder. I don't think it actually did though. My 2008 was a 5AT and my 2009 is a 6MT. I think the 5AT made the car feel a little faster.

So I guess they should be the same but I do think my 2008 felt a little faster. Could also have been because it was my first G and therefore felt REALLY fast and after I got the 2009, I was already use to the power so it "seemed" slower.... who knows.

Yeah you didn't know the 2009s came with twin compressors?
























LOL naaah it has to do with the better gearing on the 09s making them faster off the line

The gearing is more aggressive on paper for the 09's but the 08 pulls harder and is faster. If anyone tells you different, they didn't test drive an 08 automatic and an 09 automatic back to back.

Truth is the '08 is the quickest!!! Also has bigger brakes and a more aggressive exhaust note.


LOL

You have to drive both and decide for yourself. Don't take anybodies word over the internet. Decide for yourself.

Why does it matter anyways? Any difference between them is minimal, its not like your going to give your car back and go buy an 08 just cuz its slightly faster. Just enjoy the car, who cares about little things like that.
