What is better 1.8 t or v 6 in the 97 yr. thanks

...the '97's were the 172 HP, 12 valve version. There is very little available for the 12V motor as far as upgrades go. If you want luxery, smoothness, a leather interior, and don't plan on modifying, get the V-6. Otherwise, the 1.8T is going to give you more enjoyment with all the chips, turbo upgrades, exhaust, etc. available.

If you want a really, really nice Lazer Red '97 12V Quattro with mods, talk to SteveS. His will be for sale soon, unless he's already got something lined up. Believe me; SteveS' car is gorgeous! :-)
