It's neutral with a very slight over steer on the bends but the grip was amazing for a FWD. Select the sport setting, found the suspension was too stiff for my liking...more suitable for autobahn and not on bolehland roads. The 1.8 TFSI was very responsive and I hardly felt any turbo lag as it was smooth all the way till the red line. It's 8 speed multitronic gears are smooth too. This is despite having 160hp but the torque was pretty respectable at 240Nm.The cockpit is a special place to be in. The seating was snug with all controls aligned to the driver. It has a colour screen with MMI function ( Audi's version of I-Drive) and the material used and fitting was top notch. If I have'nt taken delivery of my W204 Advangrade 3 weeks ago, I would have booked this baby for sure. Sorb.........Verdict : A true contender to the highly competitive luxury compact serdan. Thumbs up Audi!</blockquote>
