A lot of car for what you pay for.
Costs
It's a sportscar with not-so-much power, but a lot of looks.

Driving
With 16" alloys and standard lowered suspension, the ride is stiff enough, sometimes even jarring to the point of annoying audible vibrations starting up in the cabin.
Performance
1.8T slightly underpowered for the weight of the car, but this is made up for by the turbo. There is a lot of turbo lag however, and power comes at a very steep price with the fuel being consumed a lot more during hard accelerations.

Living with it
Reliability
Have had to take it to the dealer 3 times now for leaky window seals and even they cannot seem to fix it. To date, the seal between the windows and the roof leaks water into the cabin whenever the roof becomes wet. A design flaw by Audi.
Image
Aside from the horribly designed roof/window seal combination, it is a nice car.
Comfort
Apart from the stiff ride, the ride is nice and low, not cramped like other roadsters.

Security and Service
Security
Have not had a problem so far.
Service
Although the dealership have been patronising at times, they carried out repair works to the car appropriately without too much of a hassle.
