A lot of hate on here from people comparing completely different fwd cars. Probably all people that judge it on cost and just like to hate Audi’s. The interior is better quality than the Polo or Ibiza on the same PQ25 platform. I tried all three and this is my first ever German brand car.

Having come from a highly specced Abarth and a long line of other fun performance cars, it is vastly better than others. Yes being 4wd it doesn’t compare to a more common Fiesta ST, but it’s certainly better than the 220 Trophy I drove and comes within. On the open roads it’s an absolute hoot, especially in a 4 wheel drift.

It drives much better than the S3 and I think a lot of the comments here are driven by a subjective inferiority complex.

Sure it’s not perfect, but neither are some of the other cars bigged up on the comments here and at least it isn’t as common as muck.
