Ok so I currently run a 2.0tfsi B8 which I love for power and mpg.

I've test driven the new 190tdi which was a stonking engine.

Question is, do I go for the new tfsi or TDi 190 models or the 252 tfsi Quattro?
I'm thinking Quattro this time.

I'm not sure on Manual or S tronic.

Discuss


Thanks!

What does the car need to do?

quattro appeals to me too.I loved my 2.0 Tfsi fwd B8 too but think quattro would have improved pulling away. I want an automatic this time given local travel conditions going to and fro work.

The SO doesn't like s-tronic so I'm probably looking at the 3.0 TDI that has it on the Allroad. Or an S4 but ground clearance will be an issue.

My preference would be a petrol tiptronic on the Allroad. Come on Audi

I would always recommend Quattro. Just deals with traction etc so much better and eliminates issues pulling out of junctions etc too

Yeah the tfsi wheel spin out of junctions with just the slightest of touches of the accelerator.

Well, I will hopefully be going for the TFSI Quattro at some point

I have to say, the 190tdi was rapid! X

I had a FWD 2.0T FSI B7 A4 which would light up the traction control light. I'd always had FWD cars so didn't take much notice and never really thought about Quattro. I now have a B8.5 S4 and have rarely seen the traction control light. I'd spec a Quattro again, I've been impressed. Very sure footed.

I'm still undecided what model to go for. I know with the b8 model there was no difference in the mpg figures between the TDi and tfsi. But the new model might be different.

Anybody got the b9 yet?
