how much power does the 1.8T have and is there a significant increase in performance over the tdi 150?

how does the s3 or a fast a3 compare to the 1.8t and tdi 150 in price and performance (i dont know much about a3's)

thanks, Louis tate

It depends what A3 or S3 you're looking at, there's plenty of engines to choose from inside them as well.

The 1.8T has 150bhp, unless it's one of the newer models that came with 180bhp, the giveaway is the 6 speed gearbox.

defo get the 1.8t model or gt tdi. Any of the VAG group cars with the 1.8t lump in are good fun, sadly for buyers the golfs hold there money abit more than the others, ive just bourght a octavia vrs which has the 1.8t lump but runs 180bhp standard. I wish id researched abit more before buying my golf and i would have bourght the octavia vrs as there cheaper and actually better cars in stock form, no offense ment to everyone with golfs  :lipsrsealed:


It's true though isnt it, in standard form the Golf isnt worth the money. Everyone seems to want one so the price gets stupidly inflated. Amazing what a name can do.

Sounds like you brought a right shed. Gallon of petrol will solve your problems  :grin:

klkl....
         .....so by the sounds of it both the gt tdi 150 and the 1.8T have 150bhp so i think i'll go for the deisel as i'll get a better mpg and it will have more tourques. Can i get a 5 door one of these, any other comments suggestions or hints about this car would be great so carry on posting

what is the a3 equivalent to this?
