Default 40k for a 2.0L Engine.....

I'm near my final negotiation on a 2006 A4 with almost all options. I'm having last minute thoughts on that much money going for such a small engine....I mean I used to drive a ford focus 2.0L for 12k :P...Yes, I know there is a turbo but, what am I buying here..

Default If you like it and can afford it then buy it...or maybe get one with fewer options...

Seriously, the car is worth it. IMO

Default Why not get the bigger engine? My last 2 A6's have been

turbos. I ordered a '07 3.2 loaded with almost all features.

The turbo lag is quite noticeable.

Turbo lag is VERY minimal on the 2.0T engine

Default yep

Drop a couple of options and get the 3.2...definitely worth it IMO. I didn't think the 2.0T felt like it should be in a $40K sedan.

Default I used to drive a 2.2L accord and it sucked

Even the A4 1.8T was better than that 2.2L engine.

Totally different engines to begin with. And the refinement and materials used is just one of many things that contributes to the $40K. So as Dubnarcotic mentioned, if the $40K is high, look at eliminating some of the options perhaps.

Keep in mind it has similar performance to the v6 model and will toast it with a chip.

Also, were you interested in modifying it (ECU, exhaust, etc.) if you did purchase?

Default You know that's not exactly true....

From everything I have seen the difference is mainly on paper. Any real world numbers that people have posted here are about the same (e.g. I have run 6 flat with my 3.2, the best I have seen from a chipped 2.0T is 5.9 -- a few 6MT 3.2's claim 5.7 0-60).

You would have to be running high 4 second 0-60 to "toast" the V6.

Probably looking to lease depending on prices..probably not mods unless I keep it.
