anyone for a cheap r32?
« on: 13 October 2006, 22:43 »
my uncle bought an audi a3 3.2 v6 sportline a couple of years ago cars on an 04. Looks well subtle and i jus wondered if you guys were aware that its the same car chassis and everything. he bloody loves it bear in mind this is a man who also drives a bugatti eb110 and 1937 rolls phantom. so must be a crackin car!!!

Damn - I thought you meant a REAL R32... I wonder if I can complain to trading standards?  :grin:

Just test drove a new TT 3.2 the sales man told me that the engine is not FSI like the R32. Don't no if it's the same with the A3?

R32 is faster and feels far more a drivers car.

A3 3.2 is not FSi and they use the same ECU as the Mk4 R32!

how do the power and torque bands compare? does the 3.2 a3 feel more like a cruiser?
