Quattro... all that or just an extra $3.2k
I am in the process of purchasing the last of the 1.8T's and have a choice to make... CVT or Tiptronic?
Now for the Audi enthusists the choice is obvious. But the depressing fuel efficiency of the tiptronic (20 city???) coupled with the fact that as a NorCal resident, I have no real practical need for quattro, I'm leaning towards the CVT. Oh and let's not forget the 8.5 seconds it takes for the tiptronic to get to 60mph. Am I mad as a hatter or crazy like a fox?
(BTW the extra 3.2k is assuming a one drives 13000 miles a year for 4 years at average price of $2.50 + the difference in cost between a CVT and Tip)
