Default So how does the B7 steer and handle compared to the B6?

OK I have had the TT for about 6 months now and it's time to get something more sensible. If I order my B7 now I will get it in March.

My problem is that, after driving the TT, any B6 A4 has a terrible ride and wooden steering.

How much of an improvement is the B7 over the B6?

And has anyone tried the 2.0T with multitronic? That's the most likely engine combination to come to Australia.

Default apparently the handling is greatly imrpoved-

engine is mounted farther back, and the new suspension borrows components from both the S4 and the new A6.

Default The A4 will also come with Servotronic

which should also improve the precision of the steering at higher speeds.
The suspension is taken from the S4 so it should be quite a difference over the B6.

I plan on replacing my TT with one as well.

Is the engine *really* mounted further back? Can they do that with the B6 platform?
