I think the 50HP would have help I would go back. Besides I think you can get more out of the v6 then the inline-4. But then again, i think the after market for the inline 4 is sick right now.

I would NEVER pick the 3.2 over the 2.0T....same goes for the R32 vs the GTI...GTI all the way...the 3.2 feels way to heavy and sluggish...and at tests, the 2.0T hangs with the 3.2 without issues...

sux you had a crappy experience. I drove the car for about 4 days, and it performed stellar...the only thing the 2.0T is lacking on the TT and A3, is the quattro...

 

Yeah, that is a disappointment. All the more reason to save for an S5!

 

It weighs 3000lbs base model and has 200HP an acura TSX basically has the same numbers.

There is really no neck snapping power to many audis unless you get an S line model.

50Hp would help as the car only gains 200lbs with the options that are also attached to it.

the V6 with Quatro and Auto has a LB/Hp of 12.8
The base 4 with auto has LB/Hp 15

The V6 would have been qiucker, as would the manual V6 which looses even more weight.

The TT is not fast by any defintion, its very average in power compared to many cars. A4, S40, 328i, Heck even a G6.

 

.. unless you get an S line model...

you probably meant a S model (S4, S5 etc). S-line is only a appearance package(such as TT s-Line, A4 s-line).

I know we all like to think that a lip kit and snazzier wheels makes the car faster, but really, it doesn't

I've driven the 2.0T multiple times in GTis in both the DSG and 6MT options and in any variation it's a very impressive car. Sure I've driven faster stock cars before, but with minimal modifications you can make the 2.0T motor scream :evilgrin:

Funny thing is I have been discussing my experience with my motor head friend and he brought up a point that the only thing I've been driving for the last couple of months is my motorcycle so my perception on speed is skewed. He might be right. I need to go out there and drive some cars.

 

600$ at your nearest APR dealer will bump the hp and tq up to 300 with a computer reflash. The 2T is a great engine but with the chip, it just screams. Fully compatible with the DSG and track tested for hundreds of thousands of miles. APR's program is so good, some of the new VAG iterations and special editions are nothing more than a factory installed APR program. VAG even BUILT a car for with APR on board. They are BY FAR the best flash available and the best mod you can do for that engine. Wanna try it first? you can get a 6 hour trial flash for FREE.

 

APR is on my list in the spring. Drove a fleet car that had it, absolutely stunning!

 

Don't know about 300HP/300 tq. This is what I found so far:

There's no mention as of what it does to the factory warranty.

 

He probably meant 300tq,,,and also said 'up to'...so to be exact you are looking at final numbers anywhere from 246hp/282lb-ft to 252hp/303lb-ft...stock is 200hp/207lb-tq

 

^theres your 50 hp right there man and no added weight! Seriously an exhaust and tune would be snapping your head back and the rest is perfect. Isnt the 2.0T cheaper than the 3.2 anyway? If so you'd have your cake and eat it too since you'd have paid less (most likely), and have a faster, lighter car.

 

definately just a few mods away from much more power. And I am fairly certain that the VW DSG shifts faster than an F430...

 

If you've been driving a motorcycle the last few months, then yes, a car is going to seem very slow to you. The new TT's are beautiful cars though. There's a young guy at work who picked up a new 3.2 TT the same day I got my 8. Car looks absolutely stunning! But I have to agree with the rest of the crowd, the 2.0T is the way to go. Less weight, more mod options, and cheaper to boot!

 

DSG = 8 millisec upshifts
F430 = 60 milisec upshifts

2.0T.

And unless you really need quattro, I don't see any reason to pick the 3.2 over the 2.0.

 

Sorry to thread jack....but you guys just tipped me over the APR tuned fence. Making an appointment for the MKV asap.

Soon.... :rock:

i test drove a nissan 350Z with basically the same result that you mentioned.
i recently drove a 2008 corvette and it totally rocked my socks right off.

 

2.0T.

Ah, thanks for the correction. My mind must have been foggy last night.

 

the commercial for this car is freaking baaad

I forgot to add that 300/300 is with intake and exhaust. my apologies, I just always see cars with both those done already. But you still get damn close to 300 from bone stock. And truth be told, Ive seen them dyno higher than APR's chart. I think they made a safe claim so no one accused them of overindulgence.


APR just released their high flow FSI pump. The power gains just went way up.
