Overall I would have to say I'm pretty impressed. After 500 miles, I started goosing the engine a little more, even though I'm holding back on hard throttle for 1k miles, and the engine response was greater than I expected from 220hp. The car is "sneaky" fast, as compared to the "throw me in the seat" response of my chipped 225. The lack of turbo lag and response definitely is a different feel.
The handling is wonderful, but not near the "on rails" feeling of the TT. The car feels a little top-heavy in turns (has sport supension too), but I can hit my favorite turns at the same speed as I did in my TT. It just doesn't feel as solid.
The interior is gorgeous. I also like the ease of having the radio controls on the steering wheel.
Gas mileage BLOWS right now, and I do 95% highway driving. It should get better, as the car gets broken in, but for now the mileage is just pathetic.
My wife is already taking advantage of the four-seater, as I am picking up the kids today..not too much to complain about there though. It was just something I never had to worry about in the TT. Darn ankle-biters! *joking*

glad to hear your wife likes the backseat... sounds like you're enjoying the rest of the car, too

I think I'm getting around 300 miles to the tank...I haven't done the math yet.

Ya, with 95% hwy driving you will get around 370+ when it's broke in.

I got about 250 miles on mine, and I'm getting about the same, maybe a little better than you.
