#10 of 34 Reasoning behind my question by ccd1 Jul 17, 2006 (6:55 am)
The question why Edmunds preferred the 3.2 over the 2.0T was based on A3 reviews. The A3 3.2 with quattro is around 300 lbs heavier than the 2.0T. The added weight negates much of the hp advantage of the 3.2. Add in the fact that the 2.0T can be chipped for another 20-30 hp, and the 3.2's advantage disappears.   I don't see why the 3.2 with quattro in the TT would not have the same weight penalty. If so, a chipped 2.0T will be very close in performance to the 3.2 and a chip is only $600. What you really give up is quattro, which is not an option with the 2.0T. I know of one reviewer who preferred the 2.0TT to the 3.2TT. Any diesel option will probably come priced between the 2.0 and the 3.2. The diesel engine is reportedly new and I've found no details on it.
#11 of 34 Diesel TT by ccd1 Jul 17, 2006 (9:04 am)
If you think Audi doubts that the US is ready to accept a diesel powered sports car, then ask yourself why Audi is spending the money for its R10 TDI diesel race car to participate in the American Le Mans race series. The car placed 1st and 4th in its first race in Utah. This should be no surprise since the car won Le Mans.
#13 of 34 NEW TT by stephend Dec 09, 2006 (5:31 pm)
I am suprised that message board for the new TT is so inactive. Am I correct that Audi will be using the same engine from the previous Audi (250 hp). Does anybody have any opinions on the reliability of this engine. I believe I heard that Audi cars are know for their oil leaks. Replies to this message: claires (Dec 11, 2006 10:07 pm)

You might want to cross-post your questions there too, to see if you get any answers.

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
