Just got back from my road test and wow. I am amazed. I drove a 2.0 non quattro and was blown away by how quick it was. It drove like a dream and I loved the seat - the way it feels like the car is wrapping it's arms around you. I was all snuggly! Sounds dumb but when I got back in my car to go home I felt like I was riding on a kitchen chair. No support. The dealer told me go about 60mph on the highway and then when it was clear, floor it to 80. He led me to a guaranteed cop free stretch of road and I let it rip. Woah. My little 4 banger can't hold a candle to the way this car took off.

So I'm hooked. My plan is to get a 2.0. Black. Red interior (60 day wait). w/ the premium plus package and the 18" wheels.

Now - Quattro or not. I live in Michigan and I drive to Buffalo. I'm not living in the south so snow is a factor. I am leaning toward the extra few bucks for the quattro.

Finally - tell me 1 thing you hate about your car. All I read are things people love about them. There's got to be something you don't like!

 

Do you mean road test as in drivers ed? or test drive?

I love my car, but hate the expensive maintance and repair bills.

 

Road test. Tested it out on the road. Test Drive/Road Test - not Driving test. Whatever! Went out in a car that was for sale and drove it!

 

Its hard as hell to get back together once you tear it apart!

Spent hours today trying to get the frikkin bolts in the damn doors... than realise i hadnt connected the door handle back up!

ARGH!!

 

ya the maintenance sucks
oh ya! get the quattro

 

The Maintenance. @#$%!

 

+1 on the maintenance.

 

The one thing I hate is the AWD! (See Username)

But i'd still take awd over fwd personally.

Red interior = Thumbs Up.

 

Being a fellow Michigander, I can say that even the small-ish amount we get down here by the Michigan/Indiana border is enough to warrant the need for an AWD car. The confidence that you have a capable machine around you, the ability to start on a hill and not spin, the control in slush... just lots of reasons for a person in our state to take advantage of that drivetrain.

 

Definitely pay the extra for the Quattro. In your area, it will be worth it.

I hate the way I can't see **** when I'm trying to back out of a parking space because of those damnable pillars.
