i quite fancy the 1.8t quattro atm myself, priced at about the 6-7k mark for 90-110k miler with a few options sounds like a good buy to me, on the other hand a extra £3k is S4 money and 3k less is golf or passat money with the same engine less quattro and the options!

how economical are these when chipped?
