thanks, great review!
if it hadn't been for the $95.000,- base price tag in Norway, Audi and VW would have sold a shitload of these each year. perfect cars for norwegian conditions.
I've always been a huge fan of the S3, (new an old) even though is doesn't have "real quattro" (haldex gen1 and gen2)
if you want to have some fun in the winter, get yourself one of these:
