Well to answer your torque question the 3.0i had 221 lb ft torque at 3,200 rpm, while your B7 2.0T has 207lb ft torque at 1,800rpm all the way to 5000rpms. That is why it feels stronger than the 3.0L as the V6 peaks at 3200rpms and starts to fall off, the 2.0T does not.

I do have a question though; did you look at your car before you purchased it? You seem to be surprised by what it has and doesn’t have after you bought it. I would think if the various things you mentioned were missing; you would have shopped around and picked up one that had everything you wanted. There are B7's around that have everything your B6 had, and lots, lots more!


Just curious.

 

It was the right car at the right price complete with CPO. An 06 (4 year old) A4 with only 36k is a rare thing and an 07 with over 50k would have set me back several thousand more. The "toys", though nice to have, are secondary to me and I suppose I ignorantly made some assumptions when I test drove the car based on the car being later model. There seemed to be a few extras that were obvious and a few that weren't. Apart from the silver 'titanium' trim in place of the walnut from my 3.0L B6 everything looked almost identical...

The lesson here is... even if you're fairly certain, always check and never assume...
