Thats probably my favourite the now, reliable, not bad mpg and they look smashing. Loads of tuning options on the 20v T engine too.

they were well pleased with them, nice car for cruising about
ST is nice, a few mates with them and they are awesome, although horrid on fuel. Working in glasgow too, so 50+ mile round trip could be costly?
Dunno about the GSi, its a good bit cheaper than most of the others but its a Vaux

dunno if i'd enjoy it.
S3, yes, 4x4 and turbo appeals to me, and its an audi, quality car
