If you really want to experience the raw, brutal and brilliance of a VAG 5 cyl engine then you have to go for a ride in a 2.2L pre '95 S4 (the C4 family). The Auto Union collector buddy of mine had two of these, one was white and one black - both were deadly. They had that typical howl you get from an S4 and the acceleration was out of this world, well at age 18 it was for us at least. The grip it had never seemed to stop and it was one of the most memorable [-]drives[/-] sprints I have had on De Waal drive.
Go back just a little further, it's actually an Audi 5cyl that Volvo bought the tech for which is now in the ford
Lol, awesome I never knew that!!!

VAG is pretty good with 5cyl. The Jetta V5 has a really weird but wonderful engine.
As far as NA 5cyl engines go the 2.2L '87 Passat is pretty sweet - when it runs.

+100Add to that list the Honda Civic Type-R engine...
I know! its a brutal I'll break your face love hate thing!
If smooth never ending acceleration upto 9000rpm feels silly then you should stick to your walking ring!That Mazda 1.3l is a rotaryand not exactly fuel efficient and feels kind of silly to drive.
It's also 50% smaller in capacity so it's hardly an unfair comparison. It's also 30% more efficient. More impressive than a standard n.a. 4 cyl IMO.

Some VAGs do sound good - but so does church choirs, and as an overall package both are equally exciting.
Can I take the opportunity to say this engine is ****ing up there (especially the 8 speed one should there be different variations)
did a 1000km round trip. In sport mode the smoothness and ease of passing is out of this world. kept up with a Q7 3.0l TDi no problems as well.
Audi I salute you.

Have you ever driven a powerful 2L Turbo Petrol engine before?
People are always surprised by the power of Turbo Petrol but hardly surprising, Diesel not only suffers from low power (given the equivalent sized petrol engine) but I realized the other day that every Turbo Diesel I've driven had serious lag... Just maybe haven't driven the right ones tho.

The problem with diesels are two fold:
they take a while to get going off the mark, and they cant rev high.
However, get inside a 320d or even better a 330d and tell me its not quick...lag is about the same as in any other turbo car

i heart my audi 155kw engine with the s-tronic gearbox, paddle shifts FTW

so, what are you guys getting fuel consumption wise with this engine? i get around 12l/100km purely city driving and 9l/100km on the highway at 130km/h.
i kept up with a jaguar x-type v6 the other day quite easily, the guy didn't look too impressed.

They are quick cars indeed especially the 330d. I find 330d to have less lag than 320d. I also driven the Audi 2.0TDi and it has far more leg than my 335i.
You must be fairly heavy on the pedal.
I'm getting 9.8l/100km in city and on a long highway journey it drops right down to about 6.5l /100Km (That's also going 130Km/h)
That's with a multitronic gearbox.

nope, no heavy foot at all. well, not most of the time anyway. my figures are about 1l/100km above the official figures from audi. my engine is in quite a heavier body than the a4/a3
It also produces 350 Nm, which is a lot for a 2.0T. To compare the 320d also produces 350Nm
