A4 1.8t vs A4 2.8

[Don Pavlik <pavlik@platinum.com>]

Greetings All,

Newbie to the list here.  I've been a VW owner for 13 years (GTIs, GTI VR6
now) and drove an A4Q 2.8 recently... needless to say it's time to trade the VW.

My only negative comment -- bottom is a bit soft but after 3k rpm it is a
real pleasure to tach up.  I gotta have one.

The dealer tells me a A4Q 1.8T will be available in November.  After a
little research (EC magazine) it looks like the 1.8 possesses much potential
in the tuning department.  Obviously, no seat time for me in a 1.8 car
yet... anybody have experience with the 1.8T overseas?  I'm working my way
through the archives but have only found one message related to the 1.8T, it
too was a question, but I've found no response to it yet.

What do ya think folks?  A4Q 2.8 or A4Q 1.8T w/ ABT V1 upgrade.

1.8T reliability?

I know naught about Audi so any info would be appreciated.
