I'll check out the video a little later when bossman leaves.
A great write-up - but how loud is loud (road/wind noise)? Would that be in part by the A-spec trim?
My buddy, a 29-year old, is looking to buy his first 'smart, luxury/sport' car. Sedan or hatch, who knows. He's between the GTI, the A3, and I wonder if this should be on his check list? Certainly cheaper than a GTI, and while down on torque, it's pretty comparable as far as power is concerned. It would also, presumably, be more comfortable. No?
