A3 1.4 TFSI Any Good?

[telecat]

And why only 125Bhp?? The VW version produces much more BHP.

Several versions of the 1.4 TSI available - VW uses 122, 140 and 170 PS iterations; only the latter has both turbo and supercharger. Even the lowest-powered version is said to be very good, though and streets ahead of both the 8 valve 1.6 (101 PS) and the 1.6 FSI (115 PS but doesn't feel any more sprightly in the real world). The reason Audi only has a 125 bhp versions is that they have a 160 PS 1.8 TFSI version next up in the range - I think Audi customers may be a bit more sensitive about having 'only a 1.4 litre engine' (hence the base A4 gets a 120 PS version of the 1.8 TFSI instead)?
