Mine is much easier to shift-odo reads 7,500 miles. Still can't rush 2nd though.

Default I've found the sup. set up sophistiated n good for fast long road driving..(more)


the supsension felt soft at first but the wheel bounds are very well controlled

Body roll in long bends a little too much for my taste but in fast left-right transient the car is nice and tight.

My biggest dislike is the clutch, too slow in engagement resulting in slippageand I grinded the box once when moving just a bit fast, seems could use a beefier one with higher spring pressure.

gear box notchy but have gotten used to it,

the low pressure turbos are good but you need to modulate the e.throttle to get the best of them

for the money I consider I have made a very good choice - and thinking of chipping next spring...

My first audi in N.A. hope the reliability is good.

Default i'm sure there is or will be a short shifter aftermarker you guys can get

one thing that i've noticed with all audi's and vw, the clutch engament is at the top of the pedal. feels weird at first, maybe a clutch stop would help.
