I drove an automatic, quatro A4 1.8T '99 model and I thought I could get out and run quicker than that thing took off the line. It was a slug due to the small displacement and the automatic, but you could tell when the turbo kicked in, although it was nothing like the SAAB 9-3 that I drove and bought right after I drove the A4. The 1.8T turbo may come on quicker, but it also runs out of steam quicker too, whereas the SAAB pulls like a locomotive to the fuel shut off.
