Ya I thought that also but my dad decided it was a bad idea. The decision came within less than a split second of me asking him.

Because this Audi is under my dad's business as a company car I am not allowed to be insured as a primary driver on it. Instead I am insured under my dad's 2001 BMW M3 and my premium is $2400/year. As far as gas goes it's maybe a little more consuming that the focus but you have to think of it this way. This 2.0Turbo engine is way more powerful than my focus. I will accelerate to my desired speed much more quickly and with much less effort so I won't be using as much fuel. The 2.0T engine won engine of the year because of it's FSI (Fuel Stratification Injection) technology. Basically the engine becomes that much more efficient hence lowering gas consumption.

eh don't bother with the chip.. keep it stock and enjoy it :)

IMHO,

chip, like any other mod = always worrying and keeping an ear out for trouble.. where do you think that 'extra' power is coming from? its not 'free' power.. the boost is up and the tune is more aggressive...

nice and safe OE tune = relatively worry free hard driving

Yeah, nice ride for sure...I've always liked the A4's, they have similar technology and luxury as the bigger ones, but for less money, and well...they are smaller...lol

Nice choice overall...

Well I finally got my windows tinted with 35% Tint, 18" OEM Wheels (got a good deal on them), Stainless Steel Exhaust Tips. Upcoming mods; Carbonio Carbon Fibre Intake, APR Transmission mount (absorbs drivetrain shock which allows smooth shifting)

before you spend money for the stiffer tranny mounts perhaps spend some time in a car that already has one? my wrx has STi engine/trans mounts from the prev owner and they transmit a ton of vibration.. ie alum hood vibrates loudly between 2-3k rpm, shifter vibrates at that same rpm when in 3rd.. kinda annoying

The only thing worse than the way you feel right now is having the car in your garage and not being able to drive it.
