There was an article in a german car magazine about a guy who ordered an A-Class A320 from AMG, they basically rebuilt the whole car to accommodate the engine and converted it to rearwheel-drive.... but they did not say what it cost...

I´m sure you could fit a 3.3 TDI into an A2 somehow..

Bye, Frido.

My previous car (before the A2) was a 2001 SEAT Toledo V5 (170BHP).
It was seriously quick - and I mean that, plus the V5 engine made a great note when accelerating hard.

The downside and the very reason I sold it after only 7 months of ownership was that it had what I felt to be a very small fuel tank when you consider how uneconomical the car was. When I bought it, it said the combined mpg was 32. I never saw this figure and most of the time was below 20mpg. So I spent most of those 7 months at the fuel pumps!!

I changed jobs after a few months of owning it and my new job involved a longer commute and I just found it too uneconomical with refuelling needed every few days! Hence my purchase of an A2 TDi!

It does represent very good value for money, especially with the colour sat nav included, so if you can afford the awful economy you'll get if you want to have any kind of fun, then it or the Golf/Passat equivalents may be worth a look.

Yip, the Golf uses fuel at an astonishing rate... the average never drops below 23mpg EVER... Thus A2 is used for trips to the Continent now, diesel is seriously cheaper, MPG is far more, and it is very fast (100mph up and down hill no matter how many people and bags inside) BUT not as fast as the Golf that can do 130mph up and down hill without stress... now that is something that was way too easy and I don't want to meet the Gendarmes doing that speed in France!
