Both models have the same powerplant and tranny so they should be about the same in performance. If there is a significant difference in weight, the lighter one should go faster. The number of mufflers will not play a big difference unless you have a full IHE modification kit installed on another model.

You're welcome, bro! If you need more speed, go for the XT model.

The 2.0 and 2.0 premium both use the same FB20 engine so if I'm not mistaken they both have single exhaust. The premium probably has a chrome tip add on.

==============

Has the local distributor launched the new facelift?

I have to say, its better to get the current look now and avail of big discounts. Appearance-wise, the facelift does not improve on anything in fact it looks worse (ie. the mag wheels on the XT).

I think the premium has only 1 muffler. I will check though as soon as I get the unit.

one muffler lang and 2.0i Prem. XT lang double exhaust.
Mine is a Premium had it last october 2015, im more than satisfied. love its handling at high speeds, at 140kph stable sya
at walang nginig, parang nasa 100kph lang ang feel mo kaya you will be tempted to floor the gas pedal more. hanggang yang speed pa lang ang naabot ko sa tplex. Loving it lalo na sa long drive...

How do you like HU? Ok ba ang sound quality? Harman Kardon na right?

Yup, even the XT does not have GPS. But can you connect thru BT and use waze?
