its 4100 canadian dollar to start with, - the extra options comes with it it about $2350 more than 2.0T.

my whole point is that if you need all the extras (powered tailgate, ipod, LED) just go with 3.2 its a better deal.

I think the engine and tranny may be different as well.

Sorry jdong! Couldn't resist

But just like your thread title says, in Canada only. For the US, a 2.0T premium plus with the optional 19" 5 arms lists at $40,200. The 3.2 is $42,600. The only difference between the two is the s-line exterior package, headlight washers, and the 3.2 vs the $2,400 you keep with the 2.0T. Other factors being the mileage advantage, lower maintenance cost, and I'm not sure about a difference in insurance.

How do you figure lower maintenance cost?

2 less spark plugs means $40 savings over 100000 miles

Exactly but I think there is a little more to it then just that one example. If the A4 1.8T vs the 2.8 is an example this could be thousands by itself.

other huge reason for me to choose 3.2 is because the motor oil consumption. I have two close friend who recently broght 2010 A5 and A4, both using 2.0t engine. both need a motor oil refill at 3000km....and the dealer,(same dealer as my Q5) asked them to keep a bottle of motor oil in the trunk.....

Bad luck for your friends. We have 3500 miles on our 2.0T Q5 and no lose of oil. My 06 2.0T doesn't have any issues either and it has 62K miles. Lucky me, again!

It seems to be the luck of the draw with the 2.0T engine. My A4 2.0T is down almost a quart after around the first 2500 miles on it. I wasn't surprised about this having read many reports of this on various audiworld.com forums, but I wish it didn't eat the oil like it does.
