i'm partial to the 07 because of the full size spare and the nice exterior styling. before i bought the car i was also wondering about the 4 banger turbo or the naturally aspiraed v6. i chose the turbo because i liked the fuel economy and i noticed so many old turbo cars still on the road (volvos and mercedes mostly)...strong and reliable engines.

 

I'm trying to find a 3.2 near me to compare. I'm wondering how the 2.0T goes down highway. Does it have any problems pulling out to 90+ in a flash if you need to? (talking stock form with auto)

 

Try to keep all these questions in the same thread rather than digging up these old ones and starting new ones. This is the 3rd thread ive responded to about your 3.2 questions. Trying to help out here.

But for this answer, the 3.2 is fine for normal driving. If you want some Ummph get a 2.0t and a testpipe or high flow cat. Then get a Stage 2 chip tune. No dissapointments ever. Plus the 2.0t is more common to find if you are looking to buy. Better deals

 

Here is my feedback on the 2.0T.

It has nice spoil up, but is just enough motor for the car. I think if I end up with a 2.0T I will have to chip it to be happy with the car. My concern is will cause more problems then it is worth. I really don't understand why Audi is not giving this motor more punch from the factory.

 

Yes a chip will make you extremely happy and it will feel like it should have from the factory. I would not have and concerns about the chip if you read my sticky up top. As long as you change the PCV Valve (BSH is awesome) and get the latest Diverter valve (D version) you will be golden. $175 bux in parts and they will never fail.

The only other major thing is to make sure the coil pack recall was done (free) and that is an Audi / VW in general thing not a 2.0t thing. You will then love this 2.0t engine.

I traded the wife's A4 because it was up there in miles and I love her Mercedes better in all aspects except the engine. I miss that chipped 2.0t as it performed way better than what she has now.

 

I have a 05.5 3.2L and love it. Little maintenance, most importantly just use the right gas and the right oil and you will be fine!
