This is a fun, practical, fast sporty and good liking vehicle. Always thrilled to drive it. Totally engaging and the best possible sedan for a driver anywhere near this price range.

Easy to drive, easy to own. I've got nearly 90k miles on my with very few complaints. I've modified mine quite a lot now but the base car still has all the goodness, and frankly so does the A3 Quattro with the s-line package. I just wish it was available with a manual transmission and without a sunroof that impinges for tall occupants. Pros - Fast (VERY fast with a few mods), fault free (safe) handling, easy to drive and looks good. Brakes surprisingly good even stock brakes on the race track. Cons - No homelink in a car this expensive? Seriously? No Manual trans, Some kind of annoying suspension rattle in the front that is common and hard to pin down. Doesn't affect driving but annoying. Common Vent director motor failure; not a huge deal to replace but annoying (center vents stopped working). Also as a racer, and despite many mods, handling is resolutely understeer at the limit unless you suddenly lift off - Not slow, but not a lot of joy at the race track unless you do minor mods and go drag racing instead of road racing, in which case its an easy 11 second car.
