#16 of 34 Re: Oil Leaks?... by claires HOST Dec 16, 2006 (3:10 pm)
Hi, Byronwalter,   I've moved your post to the TT Oil & Fuel Loss topic, where you'll probably get more responses.

Replying to: lovejuice28 (Jul 16, 2006 12:42 pm) First who cares about the diesel model in the US? Certainly not I and by I, I mean all of us.   Speak for yourself, and ONLY for yourself.   ...with the limited engine space it would be lucky if it was as efficient as the 3.2   Engineers in the house, can you see a failure of logic here?   Apparently the author of these narrowminded comments has not driven a modern, refined diesel engine. They are manufactured, just not commonly sold here in Utility Vehicle Land, with the exception of John Deere dealerships.
#18 of 34 DSG or MT6? by micosilver Jan 31, 2007 (6:11 pm)
Do you know that you cannot get a 6 speed with 2.0T? That's just another arguement in favor of the 3.2. What kind of a sports car has a FWD and no manual?!? Replies to this message: byronwalter (Feb 02, 2007 7:21 am) audiguyinnc (Mar 07, 2007 3:38 pm) ltmiami (Mar 08, 2007 9:03 pm)

Replying to: micosilver (Jan 31, 2007 6:11 pm) I believe that's because the TT isn't really a sports car but more of a grand touring contraption. But the general consensus is that the S-tronic flipper setup is pretty good. I'm interested in driving the two liter model but the 3.2 is just too pricey, considering that for around the same price you can hop into a BMW 335i. And I'd bet that the Bimmer is the better all around performer.   Byron

Replying to: from_fl (Jul 12, 2006 8:51 am) Why many people buy other cars for less then that reason i.e(a star on the hood).

Replying to: micosilver (Jan 31, 2007 6:11 pm) I have just returned from the launch of the new TT and Audi porpusfully only brought 4-cyl FWD vehicles to the launch. I had that little 2.0T going 123 mph on turn three at Atlanta Motor Speedway. I also drove it on the street course through a series of s-turns. The car never seemed to lack power or a delay of response from the transmission(DSG)a.k.a S-tronic. I did not think that Audi could improve a vehicle so much!!!!

Replying to: audiguyinnc (Mar 07, 2007 3:38 pm) I WAS AT THE SAME TRAINING AS WELL IN ATLANTA....THIS CAR IS AMAIZING, WITH FWD 2.0T AND S-TRONIC TRANSMISSION, A LOT OF POWER, GRIP AND RESPONSE...I JUST LOVE IT.
#23 of 34 You might be surprised with the 2.0 liter turbo.... by floridacarwiz May 24, 2007 (9:58 pm)
Replying to: lovejuice28 (Jul 16, 2006 12:42 pm) I have to admit, I was smitten with the test drive of a coupe turbo with S-Tronic and "only" front wheel drive. It accelerated like a scalded cat, turned like it was on rails, shifted with precision and had no loss in turbo boost and no turbo lag, which you would have if you had to manually shift it, unless you power-shifted it. And that is a tricky maneuver even for advanced drivers.   I was so smitten that I immediately put my order in for a Sahara silver roadster with the madras (caramel color) interior with the baseball optic stitching. I also ordered a bunch of other goodies, bringing the price to the $45,000 or so level.   I'm 57 years old and have driven and owned a 454 Corvette, a 1966 440 cubic inch Chrysler 300 convert and many other sports cars. I was absolutely floored by the performance of this automobile. I also plan to flash the ECU and do some other mods for enhanced performance.   The TT-S will extract 280 HP from the 2.0 liter and the TT-RS may go over 350HP in the near future... Hello torque steer.. LOL. Check out the Clubsport TT if you want to see a stunner.   So, in closing, even though the smaller engine does not have quattro, it is going to be able to make prodigious amounts of horsepower in different states of tune and will be the engine of choice for the AutoBahn hotrodder or the real Audi purist. Mark my words, you'll see many more turbos than 3.2's.   Another fact that comes to mind when speaking about the 3.2; my dealership has one on the showroom floor and the list price is about $55,000. It was still there recently when I went back to the dealership and had not sold. Why? That price is smack dab in the middle of Corvette Coupe/Convertible territory, and many men and possibly women, would opt for the Vette just out of sheer performance and positive carma that that car exudes.   Enough said... It's time to sleep. If anyone wants to debate the issue, I'm ready, willing and able. Good night.                     Elliott
#24 of 34 DSG and uphill starts by billymay May 29, 2007 (5:14 pm)
Does it hold the brake when you launch it, or does it roll backward like a manual gearbox-equipped car? Replies to this message: floridacarwiz (May 29, 2007 11:50 pm) billymay (Jun 02, 2007 2:44 pm) chipster88 (Jun 10, 2007 4:15 am)
