TT: 180 vs. 225

[Chuck Reisig]

Mike,
    It somewhat depends on whether you are looking for a coupe or a
roadster.  I sell new (and used)  Audi's and Porsche's.  If you want a
roadster and a quattro, you can only get a 225.  The 180 roadster is fwd
only.  Also, if you are looking for a new '03 (when they arrive), the
180's will be Tiptronic, fwd, only.  The 225's will be 6 speed, quattro
only.
    As for the power difference, 45 hp is a lot, while the price
diference new is only about $2,500, less in the preowned market.
