Summary
What does this car say about you?
The car is a little undercover. It's quite rare despite being exceptionally good value, which I love. Its understated performance and looks always get positive comments.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Like it, although I am sure most of them do not understand the stack of gadgets and great perfomrnace under the hood.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Yes, yes yes. I wish it had a current day version. I would even consider upgrading too a slightly newer version as the next step for a performance family hatch like this is S4/RS4 terrotory. Good value & easy to service.
What are you likely to buy next?
ST220, RS4, M3.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Great to drive. Handles very well, and despite the lowered sports suspension cruises well too. Particularly enjoyable in the 30 - 70 range once you get the revs up.
What's it like to park?
Its a reasonably big car, however no problem for a normal person to park.

Nothing in 5 years!
What's most practical about your car?
The back seats fold down and the parcel shelf comes out. Essentially it becomes a small van great for moving stuff around!
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Auto lights and windscreen wipers are cool!
