very cool nippy little car. congrats!
took one for a spin not long ago for kicks... it went alright. drove it right after testing a mates WRX so maybe thats why i wasn't overly impressed!
i'd rather save the $10k for a b5 s4 which i had to play with for a while - had the same interior too (will look dated fast though ). muuuch more fun

for a small car there's no denying it goes well. enjoy!

 

very good looking AUDI, I like interior very much!

 

wow I like it!! very nice..

 

wow nice car, one thing... i don't like that mirrors

 

Love the 2 tone interior!!

 

Man that thing would scoot with a Garrett GT...

That is one sweet little car. I think Audi made a mistake by not bringing that into the U.S. They also won't bring in the current A3 coupe, which I believe would sell well here. I bought the A3 S line 3.2 DSG 4 door hatch, and right now I'm thinking this might be the best car I've ever owned. It's a blast to drive. I can hardly wait to get it broken in so I can try it out in the twisties.

 

If you ever get to Europe, go drive a S3. Almost the same power (265HP), but delivered through a 4-cylinder TFSI, so the power comes more agressively.

Or not if you don't want to regret your Sportback.
