It's an Audi without the £,000 on the end of the price tag.

It's a bit thirsty if you give it some, but a respectable 35mpg on motorways.

Excellent. Holds road well and ESP, 4WD on demand works really well.

It's an S3 in a Skoda shell, takes many by suprise!

Image
It's the best looking Skoda I've seen and the first car I've owned that passers by have remarked on - it's really a Skoda, honest.
Comfort
Excellent in front, rear - well don't put 2 adults and baby seat in for more than a few miles - it's a squish.
