Def. an advantage of the diesel engines! I'm more familiar with the VW TDI's, but Audi's are somewhat similar. NICE A3 as well!

I'm seeing this whole truck gas vs diesel right now. I have a 2010 Ram 1500 Hemi and I've been doing a lot of hauling around (atvs and dune buggies) and my Hemi is getting terrible fuel economy when I haul. I'm going to have to move up to the 6.7 soon. Love the way the new Rams look

My dad's '99 F-250 with the same engine averages about 19 or 20 mpg as well. Incredible. Love that truck

JustMe You are a Teamspeed member that Rocks and Rolls!

I have the Q5 3.0TDI and its a really nice engine. The power compared to the usage is good. It runs smooth, like a V8

Thanks everyone - my wife loves it (it was an anniversary present for her). I'm still deciding on what my "fun car" will be.

but but but Prius are good for the Environment!

Uhm, actually that's not true. The batteries are NOT recyclable. Ooops. Guess the prius fags are wrong. Those cars are going to be a shit show.
