Wonderful car with an excellent value for the German driving experience
Detailed Review:
This is an excellent automobile, and well worth a drive! Consider it if you want an Audi. The 4 banger turbo is excellent, but go with the manual. Also consider 16 inch wheel upgrade. I first saw one in 1997, and have shopped around for 2 years. I finally bought one this year (1999). I would not consider anything else. The Camry's and Hpnda's of the world are far too ordinary.
The Tiptronic transmisson is nice, but you do loose some power. Think about the V6 if you have to get one. I love the interior, and excellent precision of everything about it! It is one of the best cars I have ever driven.
