Driving
Rear wheel drive new to me as I've had quattros or FWD… getting used to it… now liking it.

Not a Type-R or Evo, but it's not about that… good amount of torque for overtaking.

Jury out at the moment... I like it but seems to be flashy to others… depends on your viewpoint.

Near silence, even with sports pack wheels… takes the bumps better than A4.
