  • POG vs A4 B5

    Hey guys, I'm after some info if anyone is able to help me. I need to get back to the world of small capacity turbo cars because my Audi A8 is a gas guzzler and with petrol prices these days it's not practical.
    I really miss the POG but ideally need a bit more space so have been looking at the Audi A4 B5 1.8T quattro. Anyone on here driven and compared the two cars? My Polo was great fun to drive (especially after Gavin worked his magic) but the only downside was traction being fwd. I've read upon the specs and the POG is lighter so in theory should feel zippier but the A4 should be able to use more of the power being 4wd - just not sure if that will make it "feel" boring?
    I drove a stock POG again today and realized how much I missed the torque rush that they have!

    Anyone have any feedback for me?

    Get the Polo, Do a few chassis mods, anti-lift LCA bushes.

    That Quattro is hard to tune.

      Cheers Gav, I really do still have a soft spot for the Polo. What makes the Quattro hard to tune? Are you referring to the handling?

        I am sure it will have the ajl engine and it's the ecu type. Never did one.

          Thanks Gavin. From what I've seen they seen to have either the AJL or AVJ. Just need to convince myself that tho Polo will be big enough I suppose.
