    Also, let's not forget the beemer is RWD, GTI being FWD... That additional shaft cost some money ya know.
    BMW 123d is about the same price as a Audi A3 Sportback Quattro 2L TFSI.

    Interestingly an APR chip reflash for the Audi (< $2000) will get you similar Nm figures to the BMW 123d. Make torque occurs at about the same RPM as well. Think I would take the Audi and its 6500+ rev limit and exhaust note thanks Click here to enlarge

    yeah, take all that, along with the 16 l/100km "economy" as well. but then, if fuel bills are not an issue, why not get a proper V8 HSV for small Audi money?
    the idea is, look how much performance you get from the 123d for less than 7 l/100km! I can't see any petrol engine with similar performance to match that.

    Exactly right...for the money of a 2.0ltr turbo Audi you can get a 6.0l V8 with 500kW potential....Click here to enlarge

    OK petrolheads, try to beat this: Adelaide-Geelong-Adelaide
    via the Great Ocean Road. Not driven with economy in mind, not for a second. You don't get 88 km/h average speed over that distance by driving like a 77 years old retiree Click here to enlarge
