Default What do you think I should Buy?

Im looking at selling my other car and getting another A4.

I cant seem to find what I want.
I really like The sound of a V6 Engine with a good exhuast, and Having a V6 means I can get a supercharger for it soon.
Dont really need to worry about the tranny except for the Clutch right?


On the other hand the 1.8T has a whole lot more stuff you can do to it to make it fast!
A K04 Turbo doesnt cost near as much as a supercharger or You could even get the GT2X Turbo kit, to make your A4 a little to alot faster. Plus adding a Better Blow off valve, Intake manifold, intake, Exhuast, Fuel rail, Intercooler,Wastegates,ect.. Will make your A4 lots faster. But with that you need to start messing with the clutch, and Tranny ect..

My Problem with the 1.8 is that its a 4 Cylinder, I hate the sounds of a 4 cylinder! To Ricerish! Plus to many people complain about how the 1.8T isnt reliable...

So guys... Help me out here.

I need a car thats gonna be good for college driving. So I need something reliable. My V6 Is plenty Reliable I just am thinking of Gas Miliage. Oh, I do like to go to the Mountain and snow board alot. So... There ya go

Thanks Much
Thomas

for college??? definately the 2.8 liter. The 1.8t has potential to be faster but i have had two V6 audis now and they are both reliable as all hell. I have never had a 1.8t but with my experience from my other turbo cars, maintenance is always gonna be more with a turbo..


FYI: turbo 4 cylinders dont sound ricey, they sound hella nice.

if you get a 1.8, make sure it has low miles, i think the 01's are ok cuz most people knew to use sythetic oil by then, you dont want a sludged up engine, i think after you supercharge a 2.8 it changes its characteristics a lot more than adding a bigger turbo to a 1.8, like it raises your idle and stuff... good luck
