the best compact sports car out there period!!! nothing comes close nothing. I live in southern California and bought this car in 2006 i wanted an AWD so i went for the quattro(audi calls is quattro for all wheel drive quattro meaning four) mine is a dolphin grey color with sunroof and Mark levinson system you've gotta lsiten to the clarity of the music to believe its genius. the only gripe ive had is that brake pads need to be replaced sooner the reason being that high speeds out here (legal limit is 70miles per hour around 130kms per hour but people usually do 80 or 85mph)
the roar of the turbo and the heated seats, feeling of being pushed back in your seat as it accelerates is something out of this world. the impeecable steering response (no oversteer at all) the tightening of steering (speed sensitive) the cornering is all too good. the cabin is sound proof and even though the new audi has more sleeker looks i still love mine.
one advice i give to all is that a car needs maintainence and money to maintain so the price will be expensive in India (in rs) even out here the insurance doesnt cover windscreen so if a rock chips ur windscreen and a crack larger than 5 cms develops than one has to replace the windscreen a whopping 700$ expense, if rotors are damaged then 600$ so this can happen with any car out here quality costs money so as long you maintain it it will serve u well if u abuse it you will get nailed!
till date the only issue ive had is with brake pads and nothing else. stay away from jettas they're too problem prone (theyre cheap hence the lure but in the long run u will suffer) go for passat its much more refined
acceleration, its turbo its looks and German reliabilitycompact size not meant for family use
