I currently drive a TL 6 speed. Considering the B8 a4 quattro, premium plus and 18" sport package with nav. Can someone comment on the 2.0t vs the 3.2 in the Audi vs. the 3.2 in the TL. Is the 2.0t the engine of choice for the b8? How do they compare performance wise, quickness, responsiveness, high speed passing, straight line an quick bursts from 30 to 60mph. I like a manual but could go to an auto. Since I want the sport package it would come with paddle shifters. How does the auto compare to a manual in an Audi. how is the handling, cornering, steering feedback. I won't drive one till next week but thought I would get some insight first. Thanks

 

I read multiple reviews of the B8, and all said basically the same thing. A4 is a slightly front heavy vehicle, and the V6 just makes it worse while providing little benefit. It has surprisingly less torque, worse handling, worse fuel economy, higher cost. It probably has less to do with the V6 being an inferior engine and more to do with the 2.0T simply being an amazing engine.

I know this doesn't do much to answer your question, but at least it was in English.
