Decision time

[Andrée-Anne Bourgeois]

And the most interesting aspect of these cars is related to volume : 2,2
litre. Think of it, that's the complete opposite of the "nothing beats cubic
inches" motto but the car was still the fastest wagon of the 80's. It's no
wonder no Audi of that era ever had an engine-referenced badge on the trunk.


And to continue with the Worst-engine discussion, could this family of turbo
5 cylinder be one of the nicest engine available to mere mortals like us ? I
think so. Abundant torque with a wonderful soundtrack, bulletproof,
absolutely not flat spot before redline (ok, maybe 500 rpm before redline),
all that from 5 tiny 80 mm pistons and a turbo.

Would someone else with a chipped '91 200 20V Avant care to fill him in?

I'll start.  Stock, it does 0-60 in about 6.6 seconds. Chipped, with
a 2.5 bar transducer, it puts a silly grin on your face. On the highway
in fourth with RPMs above 3000, floor it and traffic disappears behind
you in a hurry.
