      - My same response to most new Bimmers.. 2ers, 3ers, bigger, nice, but no "gotta have" - Quattro_JC 2014-10-17 23:22:38 (266 views)

        No 01E can be hurried on the shifting. I would easily have a DSG quattro car in the future.   -  UrS4boy  2014-10-19 11:43:12 (243 views)

        That is a reasonable informed opinion. I hereby grant you credibility.   -  Quattro_JC  2014-10-19 09:21:12 (223 views)
    - It's not about how awesome the tech is, or how wonderful the car is to take to the track. - Eric20V 2014-10-17 17:13:52 (303 views)
      - Huge 2nd. I'd rather play the instrument than listen to a recording. All about the experience.   -  ThetaTau87  2014-10-17 17:19:16 (271 views)
        
        Agreed. Sadly we are in the minority and Audi doesn't get this.   -  quattro20v  2014-10-17 20:23:57 (260 views)
        
        All the more season to keep on keeping on with my pre-OBDII cars.   -  ThetaTau87  2014-10-17 21:55:17 (245 views)

  - Agree 100%. What the hell is the point of an enthusiast car with a plebian transmission? - Cash68 2014-10-17 11:24:57 (262 views)
  - What's with the lack of manual transmissions in Audi's line-up? - quattro20v 2014-10-17 11:22:18 (310 views)

    - 2nd. cool though. I wonder if that engine will be mounted longitudinally? - PLANETARY4 2014-10-17 11:16:32 (267 views)
      - No. The A3/S3/RS3 chassis is shared with the new Golfs so transverse, not longitudinal.   -  UrS4boy  2014-10-17 11:43:53 (286 views)
        
        I meant the engine installed in say an A4 or A5.   -  PLANETARY4  2014-10-25 22:45:01 (200 views)
