Audi clearly set their cars up for a very 'steady' balance.
i suspect Audi have taken the safe handling route ever since the TT deaths and all the bad PR that generated The 4wd Mk.2 TT had the handling characteristics of a dart - all the weight in the nose. I tried the V6 for a weekend while deciding what to get as a company car.
That understeered like mad, and actually wasn't all that much quicker than the 2.0 car, while using much more fuel. It did make a lovely noise though!
I like oversteer as much as the next guy, by the way. In racing karts I tend to drive with a neutral-to-mild-oversteer type of balance.
The TT I mention wasn't at all tail happy, but with the stability control off it'd at least do lift-off oversteer if you were brutal with it.
It's just really not what it was for though, to my mind at least. Fun to a point, then you get to the limit of the chassis before it all gets exciting.
