Ok then, following on from my musings I've narrowed myself down to 2 car engines. (I still really want an S3 sportback but these are too new and too expensive!)
The clincher will ultimately be the power to economy but I don't want a car to be slower than my 1.8T.
So.
Audi A3 2.0TFSi Quattro sportback
vs
Audi A3 2.0TDi Quattro sportback
On paper the 2.0 TDi is slow to 60 but will this be noticable in the real world? If I remapped the 2.0TDi would the economy still be in the 40's and would the 0-60 go below 8 seconds?
So go on then. Convince me either way.
