Driven a few over the years. Heres my recollections


275 ish brake standard. Responds well to tuning. (remember its virtually the same engine in the RS4)
Very torquey,
very smooth.
Comfy
Quiet

Crap steering.
Crap brake feel (either On or Off) until you've done a few miles in it and got used to it.
Understeers too much for my liking!
