Milo Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 Does anyone on here have an A4 with the 3.2 FSI or has driven one or knows someone etc etc who can give a quick review of it? I was a passenger in a 3.2 avant a while back but not for very long. It seemed quite nifty. Ta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nbritt Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 I test drove one before I bought my 2.0T and was impressed. The 6 cylinder engine sounds very good and had pretty good all round performance. Similar to a BMW 330 petrol. I decided on the 2,0t in the end because performance wise isnt far off the 3.2, economy wise is quite alot better. The engine noise was tempting though. Pound for pound the 2.0T is better. If you are a real petrol head, find a few extra quid and buy an S4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I factor in bits and bobs with my mileage claim rates and residuals, over 3 years the 3.2 does not cost a great deal more to own/run. A new S4 is not even an option - it is coming in at over £8,500 more than the 3.2Q (£11,700+ more than the 2.0TQ ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booster Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 I know you have some advantages to taking the 3.2 Milo but I really would give the 2.0T a try. Its a cracking engine. I hear there is a special edition S_line with 220bhp (the same as the DTM) coming out soon. Loads of kit and a price tag IRO 3k less than the DTM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milo Posted November 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 As I understand it, the DTMs weren't discounted at all though - will the special edition be do you know? If it isn't and there is a sizeable discount on the 3.2, the gap might not be very big between the 2. The 3.2 looks expensive on paper but comes with Quattro - if I was getting a 220 bhp car, I think I'd want Quattro. It would be interesting to see what the the spec is on the special edition As you can gather, the new car plans are still not set in stone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Durrsaku Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 They only produced 250 of them (DTM) so i should think they were sold quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisan Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 I'll throw my 2 p'enth worth in here. I've covered less than 1000 miles in my 2.0T in the last 8 weeks or so - but I can honestly say, it's a cracking engine. I may have said this b4, but every car I've owned (up to the Audi), in the last 15 years, or so, has had some form of 'V' engine. The burble is the only thing lacking in the 2.0T.

The thing is though, I've never had that 'V' burble that you are missing now and I may only get 2 more cracks at a new car before I am forced back into a Company Car Scheme of Doom. That is a big factor in my current turmoil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cameo Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 I was at my local dealers day inquiring about the special edition S-Line. The OTR price for a quattro avant is £26,545. I understand it can be ordered with or without quattro (and of course as a saloon). As it's not a limited edition I'm sure discounts will be available. My dealer (Poole) is getting two demos in after Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
