Replying to: markcincinnati (Feb 07, 2007 7:17 am) It sounds like you are describing the A5, which as I'm sure you know, is expected to be sized between the A4 and A5... or an A4½ coupe. The A5 will debut in March at Geneva while the B8 A4 should appear late next fall (just guessing on the later). I hope that the next gen A4 is not bigger than the B7 and that Audi manages to keep the weight down as well. I expect that during the ownership of my next car, gas mileage is going to be a more pressing issue.

| Hey all, just wondered if anyone knows if the 08 2.0T gets a torque and horsepower boost. | |

My new car had only 11 miles when I bought it last Tuesday. I test drove a different one (same model) and the performance, response and no turbo lag was what convienced me to buy that car. However, after they brought my car from the warehouse (I wanted a black one) and drove it home, I immediately noticed the huge turbo lag, no low end torque at all and engine noise. It was nothing compared to the one I test drove. It feels more like driving a VW 2.5. I took it back yesterday to the service dept., they inspected it again and said all was fine. That it was because of the break-in period and they assured it would feel just like the car I test drove in a few hundred miles. Do you think my car performance will improve after the break-in period? The test drive car had 70 miles on it, so I expected my car to perform the same way, that's why I didn't test drive it before buying it...my bad, I guess What should I do? I really haven't been able to enjoy my car rides  Thanks so much. |

Well, I amconsidering trading in my 2004 BMW X3 2.5 automatic for a 2008 2.0 quattro manual. I tested it and thought it was great fun to drive. I was impressed with the quattro drive when the salesman can drive it half on to the gravel and back out on to the road at any speed. I am sure the X3 could handle it too, but this seemed to be even better. Why would I trade at this time? The X3 has only 30,000 miles on it....but there is a a tax break if bought before the end of the year and I will be about 3/4's retired and won't need an SAV type of vehicle, and that supercharged 6 speed shifter is a helluva lot of fun. So, my question is; Does this sound like a good move? |

Replying to: driver100 (Jul 15, 2007 5:40 am) FWIW, they are very different devices that use very different methods of boosting an engines' power. The "Super" uses engine power via a crank pully to spin the blower, the "Turbo" uses waste exhaust heat and pressure to spin a turbine which in turn spins a second turbine that acts as a blower.

Replying to: driver100 (Jul 15, 2007 5:40 am) That only shows how much (i.e. little) he knows about the product he sells. I heard so much simply dead wrong statements from sales people that I don't listed to them anymore when it comes to specs. They sometimes may know more about the feature content, but technical specs - not so much. |
