    Did you know?
    The R32 Golf uses an on-demand Haldex four-wheel drive system whereas its otherwise mechanically identical sibling, the Audi A3 3.2 quattro, employs a permanent 4WD system, but is some $9000 more expensive.

    Does the A3 2.0TFSI quattro use the same AWD system as the R32 or the A3 3.2 quattro?

    that is not true as far as i know - the A3 has a transverse mounted engine and as such uses Haldex http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quattro...rive_system%29

    so it is pretty much the same engine, transmission drive train as the R32 i would say - so the extra $$$ is not because of that
