Summary
What does this car say about you?
Well I've heard a few people calling it a hairdressers car, which it may look a bit like but does not act like one - it is faster than a Civic Type-R, Golf GTi, Leon Cupra-R etc.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Would you buy this car again and why?
No, too impractical.
What are you likely to buy next?
Something I can get more than 2 people into as the back seats are only suitable for small kids.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
It drives quite well altough there is a lot of under-steer. Plenty of power when it is driven at 3,000rpm+. The Quattro system works very well especially in the wet. Visibility out the back of the car is poor. Not the best car for taller drivers, I am 6ft2" and although you can lower the seat, my knees seem to knock off things every so often.
What's it like to park?
Quite poor to park due to the lack of visibility out the back.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
The electrics sometimes play-up, i.e. the windows go down by themselves, the fuel & temperature gauges are tempremental and the stereo sometimes does not turn on. One of the flimsy switches for controlling the temperature/fan power inside the car snapped off.
What's most practical about your car?
This is not a practical car!
