Good but sportback is better, or just buy an S3 or GTI Ed 30!

Pros — Terrific build quality, nice seats. Class leading interior quality. Symphony sound system very good. DSG Gearbox great. Refinements
Cons — Expensive. Poor ride quality, thirst, understeer. DSG gearbox not as fun as a manual. Lacking in character

A fun car to drive that has space in boot and five doors. Gives you most of what you want in this class. GOod driving position, you can lower and raise the seat, pull the wheel front and back and up and down.

Pros — Fun car to drive
Cons — Price on new ones

BEST SOUNDING V6 I HAVE EVER HEARD.  THROTTLE BLIPS WHEN CHANGING UP OR DOWN THE DSG GEARBOX AMAZING. BEST BRAKES EVER, - NO FADING OR SHUDDER, EVER.  WISH SUBARU COULD USE SOMETHING SIMILAR.  UNDERCOVER VEHICLE.  WHEN YOU LOOK AT IT YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT LURKS UNDER THE BONNET.  UNDERSTEER AND LACK OF REAR LEG-ROOM THE ONLY LET DOWN IN A SUPERB VEHICLE.  REALLY ENJOYED THIS CAR AND STILL MISS IT.

Pros — SPINE CHILLING ENGINE NOTE AND SUPERB GEARBOX
Cons — REAR ACESS DIFFICULT AND POOR FUEL CONSUMPTION

The 3.2L V6 is a fantastic engine which sits perfectly with the DSG gearbox.
The only issue is that this does cost a lot on fuel with a yearly average of approx 22 MPG.
The build quality has been fantastic and after 3 years it is still as solid as day one with no rattles or bits falling off (touch wood!)
I would think twice about buying another Audi without Quattro as this is fantastic on 'A' roads in horrible weather. The only thing that I think needs improving is the suspension as this is very harsh on some journeys however not as bad as my Mini Cooper S used to be as it had run flat tyres.

Pros — Excellent performance and road handling.
Cons — Expensive to fuel
