On the road
Driving
Light steering but after a while you get used to it. Suspension is set up for a load in the back so can be springy if one or two occupants.
Performance
Good fun and my car doesn't have traction and have never had any problems in 5 years, it's all about your driving style.

Living with it
Reliability
Bad, turbo went at 70k, alarm problems and Audi doesn't support it any more, ignition barrel has been replaced recall on suspension and which was so bad when it was inspected refused me too drive it.
Image
Rubbish service from Audi dealers and company customer service, image over quality so buy Japanese Lexus IS200 no problems great service.
Comfort
Sport seats are great and will keep you comfy on the longest of journey.

Service
Sent letters of complaint to head office and emails, never responded to any expensive service for a glorified Skoda VRS which is better!
