Hi all,
First post here, been reading for a while, lots of great info. I am in the early stages of planning my new car purchase, need it by June.
I am looking at a 3 Touring 330d Auto and the A4 Avant 3.0TDI. I have been in the BMW camp for a while however the A4 is definitely a strong contender.
I just saw that Audi officially launched this week the 2.0TFSI DSG Quattro (http://www.fourtitude.com/news/publish/Audi_News/article_4627.shtml) and that looks like a potentially great car. Looking at Audi official stats, it is not that far off from the 3.0TDI, economy is good, and it is priced competitively.
Clearly the torque level on 6 cyl diesel is great but given that diesel is 12-15% more expensive at the pump, it is really pretty close in terms of petrol cost. And there is the small matter of GBP 3,800 price difference...
2.0TFSI Quattro DSG List price Exec SE: 28,930 S Line Exec: 31,375
211bhp
Torque 350/1500-4200
175g CO2
0-62mph:6.6 sec
Mpg: urban: 30.1 extra-urban 43.5 Avg:37.2, 90kg lighter than the 3.0TDI
3.0TDI Auto: Exec SE: 32,695 S Line Exec: 35,140
240bhp
Torque 500/1500-3000
186g CO2
0-62pmh: 6.3 sec
Mpg: urban: 31.7 extra-urban 45.6 avg: 39.2
My question is for the current owners out there of the 2.0TFSI is how much do you like that engine and how is the mpg in real life? I drive about 14K mls a yr mostly commute and w-e travel. I have yet to drive either A4s due to workload but planning to do this over the next 2 weeks, however I can't imagine I will be able to locate a 2.0TFSI quattro with DSG demo for a while...
Thanks in adavance for your input
