Goes like stink...does about 45 to the gallon and handles like a real car.

If going new go for the 2.0 TDi (pref with DSG gearbox).

Goes evener stinkier and the gearbox smoothes out the slightly lumpy power delivery (it's like an auto, but not quite)!

Have got it in an A3 sportback



Edit: reply too slow ;-(

Excellent package - loads of torque and silky-smooth power delivery. Check out our road test.

Ian, The DSG box is two 3 speed boxes (1-3-5 & 2-4-6) with two clutches. The box engages the gear you want and pre-selects the other gear it thinks you want. Gear changes are then just a switch of the clutches. Very quick & smooth if the e-brain has got it right, a slight lag if its wrong.

I cant comment on the economy because mines bolted to a 3.2 petrol engine, connected to a sometimes-heavy, right foot.

Ian,

How much cash do you have - I know you will laugh but I have a new Skoda Octavia 2.0 tdi, same platform as the Audi TT, same engine as the Audi/VW/Seat, 53mpg (on a bad day 55 more usually) and much cheaper to buy. Who knows you might get a new one for the price of a second hand Audi !!

I think they do or did a 4x4 Octavia based upon the VW/Audi system.
