So, thanks to you guys, I am stumped. I have a 03 225 Quattro or a 00 180 Quattro stuck in my head. I read the FAQ section about the two. Dual exhaust, intercooler, turbo size, and compression too are the main differences. And like somebody else said, a chipped 180 would be at about 215 and a 225 at about 265. I read some reviews online and people say the 180hp AWD is very "lacking". That is my main concern. The 180 would be a great deal / and fun too. But the 225 has a lot more power to suffice for a while. Insight? Opinions?

 

Buy a MUSTANG! [8D]kidding.

Get the 03 225. I'd like to know more details like mileage, etc.

 

00 180 quattro
108k
silver
11,800 asking
no " 60k service "

03 225 quattro
70k
silver w/ premium package and 6disc
15,900 asking
no " 60k service "

 

that 180 is a ticking time bomb..

 

If this is their "asking" price you need to ask them to lick your nuts as you tell them why they're all jackasses for even asking you to entertain this sort of price, especially with no timing belt service yet...look, ask around you'll find more than a few TT owners who had their belts slip at about 62k miles and cost them a few thousand and a lotta days out of a car....go with the 225 b/w the two, and tell them youll give them 15,000 tops WITH the timing belt job already done. If they say no, wait, you'll find what you're looking for tomorrow.

 

Get the 225. No telling what that 180's gonna do at 108k.

 

^ that's german reliability for ya.

 

the 225 is a much better deal.
