Any real world experience of the Audi 2.0 FSI engine

[AndyT77]

As above, an A3 with the above engine has caught my attention, seemingly offering a decent balance between economy and performance.

Now i know it won't win any drag races, but am interested in hearing real world owner/driving experience of this particular engine (car).

Thanks

If its the non turbo 2.0 I'd avoid, it's possibly the worst engine fitted to the A3, not particularly quick or economical.

It doesn't seem to be significantly more economical than the turbo, and it's a LOT slower.

May have a better response posting in the Audi sub-forum, some knowledgeable guys over there. Dr G seems to know his Audis pretty well.
