Anyone got one of these? Can you give me the good, bad, and ugly?

Im very familiar with the 06+ GTI cause that is my current daily driver, and I heard they are built on the same platform.

thx

 

I have a 2.0T DSG, not a 3.2, and I also had a MkV GTI w/DSG. The 2.0T feels just like a GTI with a longer wheelbase. It rides better, handles the same (subjectively). I love it...

All the feedback I've heard/read about the 3.2 is that it feels very nose-heavy. I haven't heard anything bad about reliability, etc. I got the 2.0T because the 3.2 wasn't worth the extra $10K or so to me.

 

Thanks Chris,

thats good to know.. Love the way the GTI drives, but hate that there is no AWD.

If they made the A3 with the 2.0T and AWD, that would be a no brainer, so I guess I have to pony up for the 3.2.

 

When Audi called me about my purchase, my only complaint to them was that there was no 2.0T Quattro. They said that a lot of people had the same complaint, so they were looking into bringing it over.
