One quest.. Quattro ?

quattro=added weight and power loss from AWD components (=Hadlex diff. in the A3).

I would say that 125 hp are not enough to justify a quattro version.

Exactly. With such a "weak" engine the car's acceleration won't benefit from an AWD system and some torque will also be lost. Quattro only improves acceleration when a car has a 2.0L engine or one which is more powerful.

But the weakes engine today with quattro only have 140 BHP Diesel A3/SB.
Well.. No Audi without Quattro, still I can't really decide what I like to call the Haldex system anyway.. Thanks for the ansewer nevertheless

Yup , but Diesel engines have much higher torque than an equivalent Benzin engine.

Well that I did in fact know

I'd rather get a turbo 1.4 than a 1.6 NA FSI anyday. I don't think it hurts Audi's reputation at all, for some reason Audi has been able to sell low displacement turbocharged cars without hurting its image. Like the A4 2.0T, or the A6 2.0T... Maybe it's because its turbo engines are just so good. Almost like bread and butter to Audi, as I6s are to BMW.

Interesting alternative to the Golf GT to say the least. Bring it on! It'll do exceptionally well here in Singapore.
