meh, now I'll miss bowfer's DSG :(

If this was written to me, then who knows, I haven't driven TT-S. As for Cayman's superior speed, it's not that fast (nor is TT-S, but the difference as I believe won't be that big you're making it). For example, latest Fifth Gear had what, 135i and Cayman (not the S though), with Plato...

Yes, and 911 is a Beetle. You gotta be kidding me with your comments. I'll just ignore rest of your reply, since you haven't apparently even driven it.

I think this quote sort of tells the whole story, how much you actually know about the new TT, or if you've actually even driven it, I doubt that. You're just taking your old 'TT experience' and converting it to the new model. They're not the same car. Although old TT was certainly 8L, the...

Are you still going to praise your rattling less-powerful TDI? Goash. Haven't we been over this before ;) - Yak

Well, to be honest, I was rather disappointed. Mercedes is providing these numbers with their turbocharged petrol engines, and even they are limited, since the gearbox can't take enough torque. Since same torque can be achieved with petrol, what's the point of diesel? And whoever said that...

Don't burn the tyres, they last quite a bit longer in the motorcycles as well ;)

This thread should be locked, it's getting out of hands with Ess_Three and steve184.

As I have no idea what's the situation in the UK, I'll just share my experience. Personally, I also paid my A3 in a 'balloon payment' way (hopefully I understood the term correctly ;)). However, at least in Finland, it's actually becoming cheaper for me this way, than paying the whole amount in...

No, the 2,0TDI DPF on this forum is the old one with PD-technology. A3/A6/A4(B7)'s 2,0TDI is different engine than the one in the new A4 (B8). - Yak

Huh? They just did.. 2,0 TDI, just in common-rail form this time. Haven't driven it yet, but at least it doesn't rattle as much in the new A4. Personally I'm thinking which one to chose, 1,8TFSI or 2,0TDI if I'll pick up new A4 (I think it was awesome looking machine, but I haven't driven it...

Then again, bikes are serviced every 7500 kilometers or so. At least I think mine has about that interval. Then again, I don't think bike engines would like to operate at -30C ;). Never tested though, and I don't think I will either.. But I'd still like to see higher revving engines in the...

What was the point? Why not taking 2,0TFSI in the compare instead of 1,4TSI (which Audi won't see in the A3) ? Talking about same price anyway. Audi is using 1,8TFSI, there's no point introducing 1,4TSI to the line up, it's not as refined as 1,8TFSI. Also, 1,8TFSI's CO2-readings are lower...

Yep, I use the scraper myself. There's just nothing else that would work on the real ice, otherwise I would need a hose to clean up the windscreens, not to mention unable to enter the car at the end of the trip. Personally, it takes a minute or two to clean up even the worst ice from the car...
