So, my dad wants to move to either an Audi A7 TDI or a merc GLK bluetech. not bad cars.

Mom just got a IS250 2 years ago. so her car is still good.

That means the A3 TDI will probably fall to me...

...
planned:
intake,
exhaust,
louder BOV for choo choo noises (yes, i am immature, no, I dont care),
tune. hoping to bring it up to at least 200 HP and 300ft (APR stage 1 alone brings it from 140hp/238trq to 178hp/287trq, so I think I have a decent shot at getting it to that power level with an intake and an exhaust)
transmission tune (which gets me full control in manual mode and Launch control)
Bigger wheels and tires

See how it goes from there. might get the S-line body kit for it as well as the factory NAV option.


No idea when this may happen. could be a month, could be a year.

What you should do:

1. Sell it

2. Buy a car with a Manual

It has a DSG, its fine. Would I prefer a manual? yes. But frankly I dont give two shits.
also, dem silky smooth and quick shifts.

I have the ultimate fun machine, no car will ever come close to this

Honestly, the TDI is perfect for me.

You make a compelling argument. I concede.

Nope, I meant $2,500! What year is it? Also make it sound like a train.

2010 Audi A3 TDI. Da little tractor. I'm 1/2 dabating installing airhorns on it tbh.

sm70- why not Duesenberg? > bob and john 10/05/2014 at 18:28

A7 is so much better than a GLK it's not even funny.

Awesome, the DSG wasn't half bad in the A3. Everything you said sounds good.

Um I'm pretty sure that diesels don't use BOVs...

No no, tell him to get an RS7.

It has cylinder deactivation, that's uhm good for MPG and stuff.

BOV/Wastegate. I know they do have one or the other

he doesnt do the high HP thing. something about needing to commute 45KM to work everyday.

sorry, 45 one way. from on 401, which is an absurdity large clusterfuck during rush hour

Why not a Passat TDI then?

bob and john > signintoburnerlol 10/05/2014 at 20:40

0

because of 2 reasons:

1: that really is too slow. I'm sorry VW, but whowever the moron who thought: HEy lets stick a 140HP motor into a fullsized sedan should be fired. That motor is barely adequte in our A3, let alone something with another 700 lbs on it.

2: Audi A7. merc GLK. luxury. class. not exactly something that is crosshopped with a Passat.

My brother bought a Passat, considering the torque it has, it's not bad off the line. But honestly, neither is the A7 TDI is fast.

We had an A7, so i'd have to go with the A7 if a sporty model is out of option.

well, the American passat is only has the 140HP/238trq tdi for diesel. the A7 has the 3.0L, with roughly 100 more HP and 200lbs more of torque. . The A7 isnt fast, but at least it can get out of its own way.
