What can be gained by mounting the 1.8t Longitudinally ie. pistons running 
from front to back,  compared to mounting it laterally, left to right?  My 
Dad's new Passat has the engine mounted front to back, Isn't it more complex, 
expensive, power robbing to mount it in this way?  Compared to mounting in 
left to right like some other VW's have it?  Thanks
