optional extras vs engine size

[newtogolf]

ok lets say you were buying a high priced car such as an audi TT or a cayman.

would you rather get the standard models (2 litre turbo) and then go to town on the options list.

or would you get the higher engine size (3.2) but settle for no options.

basically would you sacrifice performance for putting loads of stuff in the car?

I like the 2.0T better than the 3.2L so I'd take the 2.0T quattro myself.

If the comparison was something like say, a fully loaded V6 Mustang versus a Mustang GT I'd take the GT with a lot less options.

If I had to choose between a fully loaded GTI and a base model no options BMW 3-series I'd take the BMW.

It doesn't always have to be about performance :wink:

I'd take a 2.0T Audi TT over the 3.2 any day.

considering you can't get the 6MT in the 2.0T for the new TT (at least in the US), i'll take a "base" VR6...i've always had a thing for that grunt of the VR, i believe it would complement the 2.0T i already have quite nicely

ok but i was just giving an example.

normally i would sacrifice power for luxury. theres just only so much power you can have on the road these days.

If there was a choice, yes. I'd take power over luxury.
I already have a hard time as it is changing radio stations ( not really but you get the point lol ).

In regards to the porsche thread earlier, that's probably why I would choose a 997GT3 instead of a 997TT. But, I'm just dreaming. Soooo, back to normal cars. :wink:

I'd get the TT just for the AWD and the fact you could drive it every day of the year.
