Had 1 , although it was okay you cant beat a V6. I6 or even an 8 cylinder, they push out power with minimal efforts

I had that polo bluemotion 3 cyl, never again. Super economical though. 1000km on 35l diesel iirc.

It was always a stupid thing to do, probably there was a marketing budget that needed to be spent.

Audi scrapping confusing "power number" denominators | The Citizen
So-called power digits have proved unpopular and open to misinterpretation since being introduced in 2017.

Time for another reminder of this piece of excellent satire...
Audi loses control of model range | Sniff Petrol
There was embarrassment in Germany this week as Audi was forced to admit it has literally no idea how many models it now makes. ‘Ja, for sure this is, how you would say, a problem…

Legend!
They should just use PS numbers. Audi A5 130 = 130PS (HP)

Lesser cars do that, like Renault and Opel. Audi was aiming at Mercedes with its AMG Rating. 55 TFSI = 55 AMG

There was absolutely nothing wrong with the good, old fashioned engine capacity naming, someone should really tell ze Germans that no one cares about the size of their mannschaft, the fear that someone will think it's inadequate is what got us into this mess to begin with.

Aaah, yes, AMG's make more sense, like the C43 AMG which is a

Correct - they really should just stop with those model numbers. Like in the 90s when a 2.5L E36 was a 323i and not a 325i because it had cloth seats.
Processors kept that charade going until mutli-core became a thing, I think you could still get an Athlon X2 6000 which was just a dual core 3GHz but then they stopped with the silly "PR" values.
Now my cars are way ahead of this - it's the kind of cars where if you know, you know.
The one has a turbo badge, but it's not silver like the plebs in their 1.4 turbos - oh no - the letters are black! Jinne pappie - you know what that means? We're talking a sestienhonderd-krag-masjien!
The other just says Ecoflex, but if you read between the letter you know it actually says nege-honderd-nege-en-neentig-cc!

Audi is finally ditching the confusing naming system for its models
It will instead introduce simpler badging moving forward. Thank the motoring gods
Audi has finally come to its senses and realised that issuing a car with a badge detailing its estimated power band doesn’t really… work.
The ‘nomenclature’ system was introduced back in 2017 as a reformat to its model naming code, and yes, we were (and still are) just as puzzled as you. It essentially took an already confusing metric, which highlighted a given car’s engine capacity, and replaced it with a series of numbers signalling a car’s power, between 30 (109-128bhp) and 70 (536bhp or more). Praise the heavens, it’s now in the process of being dropped.
We’re already seeing the advantages take shape since some of Audi’s current large SUV lineup are adopting much simpler trim disambiguations, including the Q8 e-tronand the recently revealed Q6 e-tron. The latter, for instance, is only being launched as an entry-level, all-wheel drive ‘Quattro’ and a flashier ‘SQ6’, with a range-topping ‘RSQ6’ expected at a later date. Can you feel the headache easing?
We expect this change to roll over to any petrol and diesel-powered models forecast, too, like a future A5 or A7 (and their corresponding trim levels). And while they will likely still adopt some name extensions to provide partition, such as TDI (Turbocharged Direct Injection) or TFSI (Turbo Fuel Stratified Injection), this too could be phased out moving forward.

I have a sagging headliner issue in my Audi 2010 A3, any suggestions as to whom to use in Cape Town (near Century City or Tygervalley) or what to do about the issue?

Me thinks someone was embarrassed to put 1.0 TFSI, 1.4 TFSI on an Audi and so came up with this **** show.It was always a stupid thing to do, probably there was a marketing budget that needed to be spent.
