WHAT ARE YOUR VIEWS ON AUDI A4 1.8T

It's a VW with fancy parts.

The 1.8T engine makes decent power, but the A4 is kinda heavy... a chip and some bolt ons and you can run a quick 14 second sedan on stock turbo. The car is very attractive, but has some quirks like the faulty screen and the random electrical problem.

Personally I'd rather save the $$ and buy a Passat w/ a 1.8T...but an A4 is rather pimp.

jus 4 the record the rb or sr stock not beating the a4 or passat
u cant go wrong with a european vehicle
by the way u say 1 guy died in a passat right how many died in a civic u cant even check safety wise is something u wont mind putting ur babies in u know they safe there
body wise it way stronger and more durable than any japanese vehicle
the lag time is because of how the car is built u ever notice when the automatic transmission changes gear u dont feel the big jerk as in most japanese vehicles if u put a gear box in that u flying Twisted Evil

^^^your comparison is cheap ........cause you comparing to the civic on the road which vastly outnumbers the Audi......hence if you compare the accident ratio of couse there are more civic crashes and ultimately deaths.......because you compare the EK3 and ES8..........

Compare the 2005/6 Accord (inline 4 and V6), and new 2006 Civic..........now you comparison has merit cause you are in the same league now

test drive both Audi & VW (1.8T) models.. after all it is you who are going to buy a car; what some people may like may not be like by others..so go and test drive the euros and tell us which one u like..

all in all it is a sweet excutive car and my choice if you are not going to race it. if you want to race take the money and buy a subaru or evolution or best of both worlds legacy turbo

audi = pimp ride
race car = speed

chalk and cheese

GONEEE TRUUUU....., using automatic mode is faster than using the tiptronic.

audi has more "bling" than the VW or the skoda... it's a more prestigious name

^exactly no one is disputing the comfort or class of the vehicle but to make rediculous statements like it so fass it does beat them sr and rb boys is kinda hard to believe..but all in all they are a bling ride and if u can afford to buy one then im sure u can mantain it cause one thing with european parts eh cheap

When concidering a vehicle, some people look at the price and or availability of aftermarket or performance parts.
Does anyone know where aftermarket parts for the Audi 1.8T can be purchased Question

..... Interior, exterior and mechanical.

The Audi 1.8T is what it is - A Euro luxury machine with more that enough power to hold it's own. I personally prefer the VW Passat.

But how come nobody mention the worse part about owning an Audi in T&T is you have to go to Southern Sales for Service & Support. To me that sucks the most. Laughing

Grind, you'll have to bring in the aftermarket parts yourself.

no one stocks them because they are too expensive and there isn't a great demand for it.

those who want aftermarket parts for these cars are the ones who can afford to import the parts themselves.
