AUDI A8 3.2L

This is a full-size luxury car. Lighter than its competitors at 4,288 pounds Audi pioneered the use of aluminum for structural components because of both light weight and recyclability.

The A8 has plenty of power with the all aluminum, variable valve timing and all the electronic controls it takes to make it all work. With an eleven to one compression ratio we would expect a “premium only” fuel requirement but the book just recommends premium, indicating performance would be better if one stays away from the lower octane options.

Volkswagen Golf GTI 2.0 FSI

The Golf GTI is fast and fun, with a superb chassis and lusty power delivery. It has a comfortable cabin and superb image and resale values.

Direct-injection FSI petrol engines feature prominently in the line-up, in 1.4, 1.6 and 2-litre capacity. Until the 200bhp turbocharged GTI arrives in the autumn, the most evo unit is the 2.0 FSI. Its 148bhp isn’t startling, but this is an engine simultaneously torquey and revvy with a crisp note and more vigour than I remember from the A3. A standard six-speed gearbox helps; a DSG robotised three-shaft double-clutch sequential (and, breathe) is optional.
