any one any experience with these:

Audi A3 1.8t sport
peugeot 306 GTI 6
Golf GTi 1.8T

looking to buy a new motor, i know theres no fords in there but in my price range of 4 - 5K theres no hot hatch that i like would love a n st 170 but a bit out off my range!
Plus would be a nice change as owned ford mainly fiestas all my life......

I'd talke either the Audi or the Golf..........same bloody things! Exact same engines etc!

And would piss all over a shonky piece of french crap! oh and then there's the electrical faults with the pug

If you get any of the VAG motors, Make sure you get it chipped by someone like AMD or Jabbasport ASAP mate...........You'll be grinning ear to ear!


PS my missus has the A3 1.8T AMD chipped & its great fun!

glen rs1800

what power increase do you get we the chip? and price?

i like the 306 but there does seam a few probs with eletric and weak engines?

My brother just bought an A3 T-sport, I thought he'd done well until I found out it was an Auto...

Glen,

I got her's chipped as part of a group buy off Audisport.net IIRC it was Ł425 inc VAT. the result of that was from 150bhp to 202bhp, can't remember what the torque was standard but it ended up a 224!

Pulls like a train.

PS it also has a cat back stainless Sebring exhaust.

would'nt go for the golf or audi (as said before same car) a mate of mine has the 1.8 t golf and he thought he would keep up with me off the lights but he got obliterated . My cousin has a gti 6 and he faired alot better off the line than the golf, plus the 306 has got awesome handling..

Hodgie,

My missus would get obliterated by my cossie if i raced her.........And i'm sure i'd embarass all 3 the same!!

Pound for pound tuning the VAGs win hands down, oh and a set of good sprinngs transforms the audi BTW!

Oranoco

Audi without a doubt.

hodgie

Granted but he does'nt once say owt about tuning i'm on about standard the the 306 for me anytime, have also driven the 1.8t and the gti6 to say the golf has a turbo on it it's flat as a fart the 306 pulls alot better

Well when i drove the Audi i couldn't believe it was 150BHP, it pulled like a train.

And i might be alittle snobby here but if i has keys to an Audi , golf & the pug............I'd go to the audi everytime!

PS the audi feels sssoooo nice to drive, even with 70K on the clocks! Box still tight, doesn't loose a drop of oil.

Lets see a 70K pug do that.

glen rs1800

looks like the audi then! 150 to 202bhp for Ł425 Bargain

and i suppose it would hold its value better

hodgie

sorry was'nt comparing them against my car as such i know i would destroy both..
i meant it as how each one managed cos i can't get both cars together, if i could i would..

Oranoco

Agree with the springs comment

Put a set of springs on my A4 and it transformed it. I have 120k on the clocks on it and it still drives nice and tight with no rattles or anything.

And it's nice to say I drive an Audi rather than Escort and Fiesta RS Turbo's

We paid 8 grand over 2 yrs ago Glen & we'd still get at least 7 now, so we're happy with that!

But i don't want her to sell it as i own a shonky shitebox Ford!
Gotta have one reliable car!

RichardPON

The Audi is a great car, but it wont get near the 306 round track, on the lanes, or round the roundabouts.

100% behind that comment! Even thought of taking the audi instead of the escort to the ring..................Thats saying something!
