QuoteI guess I didn't read carefully enough, but I usually stick cold weather package on there.  I put the 17" rims since I put them on the 2.0T.  

I do like the leather though.
Actually the 2.0T gets the double 5 spokers 17 inches with premium package...

I'd still like the 3er over this.

QuoteEh, I'll take the brute force when I can get it.
Meh... Is the 2.0T lighter than the 3.2?
I don't think so, right? Isn't the 3.2 aluminum and the 2.0 iron? Plus with all the turbos and stuff.
The 2.0T is iron...

Overall the weight difference is ~100 lbs between like models.
The Four is still lighter?
Yep, but not necessarily due to the engine.

What else then?Chassis upgrades?

Probably sound deadening or something.

Wouldn't they want more sound deadening on the smalelr enginer?

TBR

Why? The 3.2l is the more luxurious version therefore it should have more sound deadening material.

The 2 is noiser and loader and rougher.

TBR

Yes, but it is cheaper/b] (though I wouldn't be surprised if the 2.0t is actually a more expensive engine to make) , Audi expects people who put a big priority on refinement to step up to the 3.2.

I do too, having been in both.


Unless the 3.2 with sport package is drastically better than a 2.0T, the 330i is defenitely the better drive.
