This car is so much fun to drive! All wheel
drive and DSG tranny! Rain, what rain? Just
keep the hammer down right on through
the turn!

Build quality is excellent. Mileage is okay.
But, hey, I'll give a bit there for this great
sounding, hard drivin' 3.2 liter V6!

Pros — Fun Quotient!
Cons — Nav system is fairly clunky.

The best buy for your money. Engine of a sports car,
interior of a luxury car. What else can i ask for? just a
better navigation system and better iPod integration.
One thing that i really miss is the Recaro Top Line
Sports seats, that came out in europe and were
banned for US.

Pros — Perforrmance
Cons — none

I LOVE this car.  There's torque all over the RPM range, it grips like crazy, sounds exotic, and is very comfortable.  I wouldn't trade it for anything within 10k of its price.  

Pros — Fast. Solid. Grippy. Comfy.  
Cons — Fuel economy?  What's that??

This car puts a smile on my face everytime I start it on the morning.  Sound (especially exhaust) is thrilling, handling is great and the DSG gearbox is just perfect.  I wish it was just a bit better buikt (some squeaks and rattles) and that the steering was at least at the level of my Mazda CX7.

Pros — Sound, performances, gearbox
Cons — steering

It's somewhat fast, compared to other sport hatchbacks. It's way too heavy though which drags the overall-rating down.

Pros — The Sound
Cons — Too expensive

Great handling car, awesome engine note from VR6 engine, DSG trans a real trick if you like autos, manual box slick too.  Needs some revs to get going but fun when your there.  Just a shame it does'nt have more ponies under the bonnet, to overcome the added weight of 4motion.

Pros — Handles, looks, engine note
Cons — needs more horsepower, not much faster than GTI

This car is amazing. The engine makes an EPIC noise and the 4Motion all
wheel drive keeps everything in check. The car may only have 250 bhp but
it puts every single ounce of its power down on the ground perfectly.

Pros — Everything is awesome.
Cons — Nothing.
